① For mobile, I use GrapheneOS and prioritize FOSS apps from #NeoStore (the best F-Droid client out there).
② For self-hosting, I prefer #Dokploy on Debian, mainly using #Nextcloud apps. It's way more beginner-friendly than dealing with individual docker containers.
③ For messaging, #Matrix (Element X) is perfect - it's user-friendly and stays true to FOSS principles. It gives us freedom to pick any server we trust to.
④ For Fediverse stuff, I stick with Mastodon.
What's going on with Firefox Beta on Android? Tonight my Fenix installed through Obtainium on my de-googled Graphene OS did an update, and since then I cannot open it anymore. The crash log contains an ominous:
Caused by: com.google.android.play.core.review.ReviewException: -1: Review Error(-1): The Play Store app is either not installed or not the official version. (https://developer.android.com/reference/com/google/android/play/core/review/model/ReviewErrorCode.html#PLAY_STORE_NOT_FOUND)
It seems caused by the PlayStoreReviewPromptController which occasionally asks you to rate Firefox Beta on the Google Play Store.
Is it just me? I filed a bug report.

If anyone is curious, my current Android setup is as follows:
I use #NeoStore or #Droidify (currently Neo Store, the new stats support is just too tempting) with the #IzzyOnDroid repo as primary app source, the #FDroid repo as secondary.
If I need something not on either of those, I will use #AuroraStore to access #GooglePlay.
Random APKs from GitHub or whatever only in very very specific cases. I will generally wait until the app drops on F-Droid or (preferably) IzzyOnDroid.
Excited to announce #Catima is in the top 5% of most popular apps on #IzzyOnDroid, ranking place 62 of 1307.
Even more excited to see our new IzzyOnDroid download statistics, supported by #NLNet, land in #NeoStore!
Curious as to how it works? It's actually pretty simple! Server logs are fed, per server, into https://codeberg.org/IzzyOnDroid/iod-stats-builder and the results are summarized using https://codeberg.org/IzzyOnDroid/iod-stats-collector, creating easy to consume JSON files. Then, Neo Store consumes them :)
This week in #FDroid (TWIF) is live but late to toot:
* Slow updates? There's a reason, or 2️⃣
* Don't be surveilled, engage in our research 🔭
* Using #Calyx #CalyxOS? Read now! 💔
* #DeltaChat hits v2, #ArcaneChat soon™
* #NeoStore finally upgrades to Index-V2
* #NewPipe in your 🚗 ? Maybe...

Il y a déjà #termux et tout ses forks, disponibles sur #fdroid ou #neostore et ils sont #opensource et n'ont ni trackers, ni autorisations inapropriées. Ce ne sera pas.forcément le cas pour les apps de Google
@mrbones909 #LineageOS still uses the #PlayStore, but yeah, I really like #FOSS #App Stores:
#FDroid https://fdroid.org
#NeoStore: https://github.com/NeoApplications/Neo-Store
#Obtainium https://obtainium.imranr.dev/
Vous utilisez F-Droid ?
Avez-vous déjà essayé Neo Store ? Il faut l'installer depuis F-droid et il remplace ensuite ce dernier. Plus moderne il présente un autre avantage : de très nombreux dépôts sont présents par défaut. Il suffit de les activer.
J'ai remplacé Garmin Connect par Gadgetbridge #neostore #QuittonsGAFAM
Installing FOSS apps on your phone sometimes certainly feels like an eternal XKCD 927 purgatory.
- Apps by GrapheneOS for some GrapheneOS apps (and assorted ✨other✨ apps).
- Obtainium for installing apps directly from source/repos.
- Neo Store for installing apps who cannot be arsed to have .apk files in their repos (#AntennaPod), yet without dealing with the typical F-Droid shenanigans.
- Accrescent, because hell, why not! The more, the merrier!
- And, of course, Google Play Store for the corporate goblins.

Whaddaya know - we can finally install Signal for Android without using Google Play Store - it is now available in the NeoStore app via the Guardian Project repository.

F-Droid Anti-Features - Offiziellen Client meiden • Curius
....als Alternative ist NeoStore zu F-Droid für mich ganz brauchbar (im ersten Überflug). Werde mal etwas länger testen.

same with #gpg , I can can only convince myself :D
#whitehole manage all your photos with #telegram cloud

for mail there re countless better options, which re better than paying em for storage
for drive , there s again telegram or #cryptpad
