This is a maintenance release that targets Android 15 and fixes a crash.
The app will look slightly uglier on some devices, due to Google's changes in how drawing over the system and navigation bar works. Sadly, supporting proper edge-to-edge requires extensive rewrites (help very welcome!), so I opted to at least ensure we target Android 15 before any deadlines.
@sihaha Apps targeting older Android versions tend to work fine on newer ones due to how backwards compatibility works on Android, but targeting newer Android versions has 2 clear benefits: 1. Google has one reason less to kick you off Google Play 2. There are generally slight security improvements (small hardenings here and there)
The downside is that it can take a lot of work because Google tends to change a lot every Android version.

I've been using Skype to talk with my parents since I moved to Canada, that's the tool they know and switching to something else for them is gonna be super hard. Now Skype is forcing them to switch to Teams, a buggy and bloated tool made to be a gateway to sell services. It's Microsoft, so I'm not surprised at all, but still, disappointing.
I'm in a similar situation but I'm going to try MyTello. You can set it up to dial a local number from the home phone to talk to someone with a number registered around the globe, or call via their app. I've only done one test call so far, but might be an option.
Cheap international calls from Czech Republic. Call worldwide to any country starting from 0,3 Kč per minute. Works with any landline or mobile phone ✓ No contract ✓ Free test ✓ 100% Money back guarantee ✓
if they only call with you I guess Jitsi via browser would suffice. bookmark the link for them, and yourself, maybe even secure it with password and they can use it without struggle. or you do it via Signal, element, Jami....there's lots of desktop clients that offer encrypted communication for free. just introduce them to one and they will happily stick with it.
None of those. Calendar: Google, since calendar needs to be shared and no one else outside MS seems to offer that. Office suite: LibreOffice. Video conference: Jitsi Chat: Telegram Chat, file exchange: Matrix Email: Our local ISP's email. Our godson uses some paid email service (US based) but not Outlook or Gmail. Sister-in-law uses Proton Mail.
Be sure that people know you mean, Open Talk Dot EU ( opentalk.eu ).
If you search for "Open Talk" you'll get an app (by, Jeet Productions) who is affiliated with Facebook / Meta. In fact, oddly, if you visit their website ( opentalk.club ), they don't even suggest you contact them via their app, but rather, WhatsApp (click on "Join Community, that's a WhatsApp url).
Any chance of developing bridge software to access Tuta using mail (SMTP+IMAP), contacts (CardDAV), and calendar (CalDAV) apps? (Comparative example: Proton Mail Bridge.)
Email, contacts, and calendars are all more useful when all accounts (e.g., work and personal) can be accessed in one place.
This week we did a working session in BOARC, Bidston Observatory, an amazing self-organised community center close to Liverpool, UK (with a radio station in the basement!).
We finalized and tested the first, experimental prototype of Toolkitty, an mobile and desktop app for collectives to share resources & spaces and organise events!
Toolkitty is a coordination app for collectives, organisers and venues. You can organise events, share resources and spaces in a collaborative calendar.
Just finished implementing all the webxdc.js apis, the next steps are about hardening the sandboxing in preparation for the security audit together with @WofWca
New in GNOME 48 is the necessary support for keyboard handling by the Orca screen reader in Wayland sessions. As I reported on the Orca mailing list recently, I have updated my system, and this support is so far working as intended. You need Mutter 48 and the latest AT-SPI installed.
@Jason J.G. White Yes it's amazing @GNOME #a11y is moving into the right direction but I'm afraid it's at very slow pace. Within Gnome 48 we do have reworked keyboard input handling. Now we need mouse emulation and in the future we'd like to have touch screen gestures and related screen reader features. The interaction between gnome developers and screen reader users is one direction only. New features are being added, some bugs which we can tolerate are introduced along the way and we do need to wait at least some 6 months until these are addressed at a platform level in an upcoming release.
on days when i have no time, I prioritize push-ups for upper body with arm/chest focus or squats for lower body with quad focus.
What is a good single upper body exercise for maximum back engagement that requires only dumbbells or bands? I’m currently partial to renegade rows or wide-grip push-ups.
Documenting my low-equipment at-home workout regiment. How I work out, why I work out, my workout split, my list of exercises, and advice I'm soliciting.
I don't have any more recommendations to bring to the conversation, most of my work on my back I do in handstands. So I'd be in that same wall-plank zone.

Na hranicích Chebska a Sokolovska se v sobotu nad ránem otřásala země. Zemětřesení bylo mírné. Nejsilnější otřesy byly po 06:00 a dosahovaly úrovně dva stupně. Epicentrum bylo východně od Lubů u Chebu.
Das Komoot an private equity verkauft wird ist wirklich schade. Komoot war immer mein goto tool zur Routenplanung fürs Wandern und Radfahren. 😢
Nach außen wirkte die Firma eigentlich immer ganz cool. Ich hab da sogar 1-2 mal in die Stellenausschreibungen geguckt weil ich mir vorstellen konnte da zu arbeiten.
@outofcreativity benutze seit Jahren TopoGPS, einfach weil es die beste Wahl für Schweden ist (Karten von Lantmäteriet). Ich mag das Planungstool, kenne aber Komoot gar nicht. Kann also leider nicht vergleichen.
@outofcreativity Aufgrund eurer Hinweise habe ich mir OsmAnd angeschaut. Der Hinweis im AppStore unter "Provider" schreckt mich ehrlich gesagt ab... wie seht ihr das?
Přemýšlím, že bych si postavil vlastní domácí NAS server (asi Owncloud Infinite Scale + Immich v dockeru na mini PC). Jenže nemám veřejnou IP (router je za NATem). ⚠️ Jak nejlépe a levně zajistit konektivitu na takový domácí server? 🛜 Levná VPS jen na WireGuard tunel nebo je nějaké lepší řešení? 💡 Nebo se na to vyprdnout a dál platit Google Disk? 💰
Je nějaký důvod, proč to chceš mít doma? Nextcloud jako službu s 1 TB dnes seženeš za pár korun. Když bys nad tím chtěl mít větší kontrolu, tak si můžeš rozjet levnou VPS a k tomu S3 object storage. Já mám vedle Nextcloudu doma ještě Synology a je to celkem mizerie. Stejně pro to musím mít zálohu někde mimo domov a přístup z venku je pomalý kvůli pomalému uploadu.
@Jiří Eischmann @Jakub Cabal Ahoj, Ja zatiaľ fičím kombináciu #vpsfree, contabo a domáci NAS. S tým ako na dobrý S3 storage pomer cena / výkon by som si tiež rád nechal poradiť.
Just last week, two people asked me if I could help them set up a #Nextcloud service and move their data off of the big US tech clouds. It may still be small, but the trend is real.✌️
@stooovie Hard to say. I don't cancel the accounts for them, but they usually pay for it and it wouldn't be very economical for them to keep it running.
@WoundClad @stooovie Getting it for free? Certainly not with the amount of data they have. I didn't mean Nextcloud installations on their premise. I do it for myself, but I don't think it's good every one, actually it isn't for most. By "setting up a Nextcloud service" I mean picking something like Hetzner Storage Share and setting it up the way it works for them like the old solution.
Looks first of all like a troet.cafe specific circunstance @bitpickup, what code is troet running?
The combination of two audio files might be problematic in general. Actually it's not possible over here to upload more than one video or audio and the replay of any of the two files displayed with timer might not work.

Getting started with XMPP/Jabber and PGP for federated, encrypted messaging
This is a short thread where I explain how I started using the XMPP protocol and PGP encryption for secure messaging. I am not a security expert, but I am a mathematician and I am confortable with the Linux command line. This guide is for people who want to use PGP for secure messaging easily. You will need to be okay with typing commands into the Linux command line in order to do this, but I will tell you exactly what to enter.
Part 1: XMPP
Mastodon is like email, but for social media. You sign up for an account with a server, and then you can talk with any other accounts that are signed up on other servers, as long as your servers are getting along. (No one wants emails from the sketchy spam server, and we want to be able to choose between Yahoo, Gmail, etc.) XMPP (a.k.a. Jabber) is the same thing for text messaging.
Just like signing up for an email/Mastodon account, you need to sign up for an account. You can find a list of servers at list.jabber.at/ and will probably at least need to provide an email addess when making an account.
Once you have made an account, you need a client. On Linux, I've been having a good time using Dino (dino.im/). You can then enter your account name and password to log into your XMPP account and start chatting! There are both public rooms and you can also message directly with your friends.
I prefer the new xeps 0373 and 0374 "OpenPGP for XMPP" (OX) over the old xep 0027, but unfortunately no mobile client supports it yet. Afaik only #gajim and #profanity support it. #xmpp #pgp @caten@mathstodon.xyz
