And it's the people who make it all possible.

Talking about MRepo: for those of you feeling it important that their #Magisk #Modules, too, are #OpenSource you can add the IzzyOnDroid Magisk Repo to MRepo:
It currently holds 102 modules, all of them under a #FOSS license and with their source code transparently available.
This is a repository of open-source Magisk modules run by IzzyOnDroid.IzzyOnDroid App Repo

I'm very happy to see how far the #IzzyOnDroid repository has come. Especially with all the recent scanner updates it has become so much more than "a secondary repo to get more FOSS app from".
I'd argue at this point it may very well be the most secure and well-maintained repository of #FOSS apps on #Android.
This is a repository of apps to be used with F-Droid. Applications in this repository are official binaries built by the original application developers, taken from their resp. repositories (mostly Github, GitLab, Codeberg).IzzyOnDroid App Repo
Hey all 😃 we're trying to get a build ready for the #Keyoxide mobile app's big update, just in time for #FOSDEM to demonstrate during the event and we wanted to ask you if you'd be willing to help us out by translating some words and short sentences 🤗 big thanks!

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.

Have you seen the Stack Overflow Developer Survey results for 2023?
Of the 83,830 folks surveyed, Matrix is the #1 chat tool in terms of current users' satisfaction. It's also rated as the most desirable among the open source tools listed, but there is a _lot_ of room for improvement in awareness there.
Let's build on this in 2024! 🚀 survey.stackoverflow.co/2023/#…
