#AndroidAppRain at apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid today brought you 16 updated apps, but also 2 apps were removed:

* DiviDoc contains a self-updater, and its author did not respond to our issue
* URL to PDF was rebranded to WebCapture more than a month ago, so the "old" app was removed

Further, several more apps could be confirmed as #reproducibleBuilds โ€“ bringing their total number here up to 315 (or relative: 26.2%).

Enjoy your #free #Android #apps with the #IzzyOnDroid repo :awesome:


IzzyOnDroid F-Droid Repository

This is a repository of apps to be used with your F-Droid client. Applications in this repository are official binaries built by the original application developers, taken from their resp. repositories (mostly Github, GitLab, Codeberg).

Re DiviDoc ... You commented on an old closed issue instead of opening a new dedicated one:

github.com/Armand31/Dividoc/isโ€ฆ

Whether or not the author cares I can't say but for most projects that is a good way to go unaddressed. Also for the sake of every other potential user checking out known issues...

@alerque Yes, I commented on the issue that introduced this, Caleb. And I've pinged the author explicitly, twice even. Apart from that, the project has not seen any commit since 2/2023, and Armand seems "gone" since June. So chances of this being addressed are rather low to non-existent.

Should it be addressed later, the app can easily be re-established, metadata have been archived and not deleted.

Spotted on an evening walk on an isolated beach in Aotearoa #NewZealand

A small human (5?) holding up a kite so her older brother can get it in the air. She's an expert holder, picking it up every time it falls on the sand. The patience and optimism that it'll fly eventually seems infinite.

A man (30s?) with a thoughtful aspect pushing a wheelbarrow down to the water line. He's got all the gear for a perfect few hours fishing. A while later he's spotted in a deck chair next to a low table with a picnic on it while waiting for a catch.

A small group of young humans directed by a man (40s?) in setting up a sand-drawn rugby pitch. He's wearing a bucket hat and has the air of a dad on a mighty mission. Within minutes he has teams sorted and is running up and down the sand umpiring. This is serious business

Two grey haired naturists walking along the treeline on a quiet patch of the beach. From a distance they look like two tranquil, rather pink wild creatures happily holding hands as one of them points out different cloud formations crossing the skyline.

A couple of women (20s?) smooching while standing in ankle deep water. They pause to take a selfie and then one abruptly stoops and splashes the other. Shrieking, chasing and more smooching to follow.

Any typos spotted in this post are lost after being locked in overnight after the sunset gates were closed at this beach. If spotted give them a drink of water and a ride to the nearest town. They will appreciate breakfast.

You're looking at a spectacular flat yellow/brown sand beach at almost full low tide. There's a massive expanse of sand in the foreground that feels quite coarse underfoot. To the left you can see a treeline of pine trees going into the distance. To the right is blue water and overhead is a stunning late spring evening blue sky with the odd fluffy picturesque cloud. In the far distance is a mountain range because this is New Zealand and those suckers sneak up on you.

taky mam vzdycky "radost", kdyz vidim update tohohle molochu. Bohuzel mam jednu appku, kde to nejde vypnout a zatim sem byl linej ten -9999 ebuild poradne prozkoumat, jestli bych to nevypl nebo je to nak vic zadratovany. Naivne sem si myslel (tak pred pul rokem), ze zkusim prepnout par balicku na binarni, ale ono to nejde (zatim?) uplne mixovat. Jen pokud existuje -bin alternativa separe, i u LO sem musel prejit na kompilaci, protoze -bin je zoufale stara a dle bugzilly to moc nevypada.

Fairphone 4 and sensors

Full post here. rene.seindal.dk/2024/11/03/faiโ€ฆ

I bought a Fairphone 4 as a part of my project of de-googling my life.

Playing with different operating systems, I somehow ended up with a phone where most of the sensors didn't work, even if they did when I got the phone.

You're on a ship hurtling through space and your crew's best engineers report that critical sub-systems - from water filtration, through to HVAC and food pods - are all failing. Evidence of sabotage. What do you do?

World's governments:

"Governments failed to reach a consensus [...] Many were forced to leave the talks early to catch flights, and negotiations were suspended at 8.30am when fewer than half of the countries were present"

It doesn't matter too much, since the screen reader is currently web-based. It does work a little better out-of-the-box with Voiceover on either Mac or iOS compared to NVDA, but thanks to some code from @tspivey that makes interrupting of regions way, way nicer, I prefer using it with NVDA now. No idea how Jaws does it.
I tried it with Talkback/Google Chrome, and it's much less nice there.

@twynn oooh yeah, I heard the 34-minute overview Onj did on it, quite impressive but also a bit steep from say, a standard stylophone or something much more simple like a synth/looping device as such. Although the flexibility of pads and track layouts being so easy to make are both tempting upsides so for sure considering them the more I hear of it, like that production too.

#eyegrasses Day 4 update

(To be read in the voice of German filmmaker Werner Hertzog)

At first, I found the blade of grass to be a simple solution to a problem. A satisfying answer to a question asked by circumstance. Then it became, I admit, something of an amusement. That was a fool's error. Now it is not me who laughs at the grass, but the grass which laughs cruelly at me. It sees me, and by extension all of humanity, stripped of our modern contrivances, naked before it, and it mocks us.

Yup, I'm still on my blade of grass in the glasses screw hole bullshit. The picture is of that, a blade of grass used instead of a screw, just as it will be every day until it breaks or I do.

The end of an era. On September 24, I used a blade of fresh grass to temporarily mend my glasses after one of the screws fell out in a hay field. I just hoped it would last the day.

Today, 39 days later, it finally started to slip, and I put a metal screw back into the hole. Thank you, blade of grass. You served me incredibly well. Amazing stuff, grass.

Welcome to the RB family, Soul Searching ๐Ÿฅณ

apt.izzysoft.de/packages/com.gโ€ฆ

Soul Searching is an offline music application for Android 8 and above. It's a rework of the native mobile application Sweet Music using Jetpack Compose.

This was quite a journey fighting compression algorithms (Fedora using zlib-ng instead of zlib), but thanks to joint efforts and hard work of the author (thanks entername74!), it was finally made RB :awesome:

Btw: 313 apps / 26% now ๐Ÿ˜‰
