When #GooglePlay introduced privacy labels, I was very curious to see how they managed to get reliable data about the #privacy properties of Android apps. I know first-hand how difficult and time-consuming privacy audits of #Android apps can be. Now Mozilla has taken a closer look, and it seems #Google doesn't even have reliable data.

I was surprised at my phone ringing last night, until I realised I got a real non-test push notification from the experimental fork of Nextcloud made by Niklas Reimer. It uses @unifiedpush in the #foss and @fdroidorg compatible version of Nextcloud, and notifications don't go through Google Services or the Nextcloud Push gateway.

Something very exciting is coming!

For those of you using adbsync (codeberg.org/izzy/adbsync): I've just published v0.1.2 with some minor feature enhancements. Most important: when syncing media files, adbsync can now trigger Android's media scanner so your album browser, media player etc. immediately notice the changed/new/removed files.
