Okay y'all, I need to understand this. So someone said that a Pixel 8 is faster than an iPhone 15. Can someone help me understand why someone would say such a thing? The iPhone 15 has a much better SOC than even the Pixel 9, and Google has said that they aren't pushing for benchmarks. This person is using a screen reader, TalkBack and VoiceOver. Meanwhile, to me, the Pixel 8 feels even slower than my iPhone SE 2020, and the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE. Like I guess it could be their way of coping with Android, but I mean there are people who genuinely like it. And yes, it has LLM image descriptions now, so I mean there are people that will put up with it just for that feature. But, meh, sometimes people are unknowable.

ArcaneChat (previously known as #DeltaLab) an alternative Delta Chat client for #Android is now available in official F-Droid store!

If you already have it you can securely continue to upgrade it now from F-Droid (or #IzzyOnDroid) thanks to #ReproducibleBuilds which ensures the apk matches the source code and not me nor F-Droid is manipulating the binary 🎉

Thanks to Aholic Gino reporting them, 5 apps that are no longer useful (as they stopped working) will be removed from the #IzzyOnDroid repo with the next sync – see gitlab.com/IzzyOnDroid/repo/-/… for details:

* SafetyNet Sample
* BakaReader
* NoFasel
* YoutubeAudioPlayer
* VueTube

We're really thankful for such reports as they not only help keeping the repo trim and clean – but also avoid frustration after installing broken #apps (if there are no broken apps) on your #Android device 🤩

#AndroidAppRain at apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid today brings you 10 updated and 1 added apps:

The attached picture can be improved, a bit outdated.

For chat, Matrix and XMPP clients (e.g Element and Monal) can be used.

Libre Translate can replace Google Translate.

2FAS Auth is a nice project for OTP codes.

Strongbox is nice to store passwords.

PeerTube is a real YouTube alternative instead of YouTube facades.

And Yandex is an efficient search engine.

I'm really enjoying #FairEmail app on my phone. It have been the smoothest SMTP/IMAP experience I've had on any operating system. Even Thunderbird is not as smooth and as customizable. I've been actively using it for some months now, and frankly, I'm impressed. The UI design takes few hours to get used to, but after that and with some personalization, it would look as trivial as an email client can get.

It is #OpenSource (GPLv3) btw:

Android FOSS developers, please check if any of your dependencies are downloaded from JCenter or repo.spring.io. Both of those have shut down, resulting in failing (reproducible) builds (though you may not notice if you still happen to have them cached locally).

Many have moved to maven central, where a newer version may be available. But many others have simply become unavailable.

If you are the upstream of such dependencies, please publish them to maven central.
