Hell, yes. This is nothing but good news. 
I've been using Unified Push + Element + Fedilab via Nextcloud and NextPush and it's been remarkably simple and reliable while keeping all that sweet, sweet metadata out of the Goog's hungry clutches. Thank you!
Can't wait for Yunohost to support sliding sync so I can shift to ElementX.

Oof. Wie Heise berichtet, löscht #Google aus dem Playstore installierte GEKAUFTE Apps von Smartphones – zum Beispiel wenn diese aus dem Playstore entfernt wurden. Auch andere Apps wie z.B. den Google Kalender, wenn eine neuere Version eine neuere #Android Version benötigt als das eigene Gerät installiert hat. Natürlich nur zu Eurer Sicherheit…
Da bin ich echt froh, dass meine Geräte "entgoogelt" sind.

Uh-oh. Dear #Android #app #developers – please do NOT sign your APKs-for-distribution using debug keys. Especially not with expired ones (debug keys usually expire after 365 days AFAIK)!
And who by Goofy had the idea to make it possible using such debug keys to sign release APKs, so they not even raise the "android:debuggable" flag? That's how they were not noticed when I added them (proper checks in place now to stop that).
Having to go for a cleanup in my repo now…

Wie woanders schonmal erwähnt ist halt die Frage, ob man dem Entwicklerteam des Forks jetzt sofort vertrauen sollte/kann oder erstmal abwarten.
