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

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).

Join NV Access in just over an hour from now, at 1:20PM in Grand GH at the #CSUNATC25 conference in Anaheim, California, where we talk about NVDA 2025: New and Upcoming features - we have a LOT to share!

#Conference #CSUN #News #Presentation #NVDA #NVDAsr

🐣 oops… the Easter egg hatched early! We've just reached a goal we hoped to achieve around Easter:

At #IzzyOnDroid 40% – so 2 out of every 5 apps – are now #reproducibleBuilds 🥳

So whenever you see one or more green shields next to the version of an app in our repo browser at apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid you can be sure: this was built exactly from the source code it claims to be, nothing added or taken away.

Oh, and we should roll out those new shields soon™, so you see the independent builders 😉

Apple has released emergency security updates to patch a zero-day bug the company describes as exploited in "extremely sophisticated" attacks.

Newest #rustlang `http` release v1.3.0 out today!

Perhaps biggest deal is allowing more characters in the `Uri`, because frankly that's the real world.

What's Changed Allow most UTF-8 characters in URI path and query. (#715) This means paring Uris with previously illegal characters according the original RFC will now be accepted. They used to be...

DDoS attacks almost always originate from hacked devices. The country/countries that the traffic originates from has never been an indicator of who's behind the attack. Musk's implication that Ukraine was responsible for the Twitter DDoS attack based on seeing some traffic originating from Ukrainian IPs is just dangerous speculation.

I've mapped botnet professionally for a decade, and all that looking at IP addresses locations tells you is the geographical distribution of compromised devices. When you plot this kind of data of chart, you typically just get a heat map of population density, slightly skewed by economic factors. Nations with larger populations tend to have more devices, but developing nations tend to have a higher percentage of older less secure devices, which are more likely to be hacked and recruited into botnets.

Se zenou mame radi divna bistra, kafe, industrial, bary v ruinach domu, vsechno, co bezna populace (e.g. rodice) povazuji za nedustojne. V legraci o nas rikam, ze jsme zastydli hipstri, neb vetsina kamaradu z nasi generace uz tyhle choutky opustilo.

Dnes jsem zjistil, ze minimalne v mem pripade to neni legrace. Nesu vsechny znaky zastydleho hipsterstvi. A rozhodne nelituju!

🤔 I see y'all sharing a meme of Nikola Tesla saying "Get my name off your cars, you nazis!" or something like that?

See, this is why knowing history is important.

Nikola Tesla was an anti-Black eugenecist. And it's a good thing for the world that he died broke, because rich eugenecists are worse.

Tesla was a fan of the forced sterilization happening in the USA, and believed that by 2100 mass eugenics would have "purified" the human race of all undesirables.

That's who you're capping for.

Shout out to everyone that's been a Nikola Tesla fan their entire lives, but is just learning this now.

And for those people that want to pretend that this was a long time ago...

Tesla died in 1943.

Joe Biden and Robert DeNiro were already born.

When I started mapping the first additions in the OsmaAnd app for Openstreetmap at the end of 2015, I never thought I would make 1 million changes. Entered in OsmAnd and then in Potlach2 (because it was beginner-friendly). Then later iD and other apps. Like Mapcomplete, Streetcomplete or Everydoor. 1
I can only recommend just getting started.
