You remember #Apple scanning all images on your #mobile device? If you have an #Android #phone, a new app that doesn't appear in your menu has been automatically and silently installed (or soon will be) by #Google.Mastodon @ SDF
Das Bild zeigt eine atemberaubende Aussicht auf eine Bucht von einem erhöhten Aussichtspunkt aus. Im Vordergrund stehen rosa Sitzsäcke und Tische, auf einem der Tische steht ein Cocktail. Der Himmel ist blau und wolkenlos, die Sonne scheint. Es ist ein entspannter und luxuriöser Ort, um die Aussicht zu genießen.

Hello Fediverse, I need #Fedihelp, I usually use #Debian based systems, sometimes also Xubuntu or Mint with Xfce. I have a small computer with passive cooling, about 4-5 years old which was a small NAS/homeserver till some weeks ago. Now I am considering to convert it into a computer that I can connect to from #Android and #Windows via some kind of remote desktop or #VNC software. I really need the possibility to transfer files too, sound input and output would be killer and drag and drop on the Windows computer to/from the remote #Linux box would be nice to have.
I might use the box to to work with it locally with a screen connected, but mainly from far away. I got the VPN or SSH access part covered, but really looking for some way to connect remotely and sign in to that PC. I am willing to ditch Xfce, but keep in mind that computer is not the fastest.
I also looked into setting up my own #RustDesktop server, but I prefer to use SSH/VPN to get into my lokal LAN from external and then work it from there.
Pls let me know how you do it and preferably link some manual that comes closed to your setup or the manual that you used to do the setup you have.
#Signal also works with with #tor #orbot on #Android, which can help to circumvent #censorship.

A new UX 6 years in the making
F-Droid has been a part of the Android ecosystem for over 6 years now. Since then, over 2000 apps have been built for the main repository, many great features have been added , the client has been translated into over 40 different languages, and much more. However, the F-Droid UX has never changed much from the original three tab layout :
This will change with the upcoming release of F-Droid client v0.103. Over the past 6 months, the F-Droid team has been busy redesigning a modern UX which will help bring F-Droid into the present. Some of the big ticket items include:
Screenshots and feature graphics Bulk download and install Ability to translate apps metadata Improved notifications for downloads and pending updates
In addition, we have been redesigning some of the smaller, but equally as important parts of the app, such as better support for visually impaired users who make use of tools such as Talkback, and better support for donating to open source app developers. This has involved extensive design input from UX designers and the community. In addition to the user tests that were conducted early on in the design process, further field tests are currently being conducted to ensure that usability issues with the new design are identified and resolved. Over the coming weeks you will see alpha releases for v0.103. We encourage your feedback and suggestions about how to continually improve the F-Droid client. This is one of the many improvements happening to the broader F-Droid ecosystem in 2017, so keep an eye out for more!

Wie viel #Google in #Android ist - eine kleine Ãœbersicht
Das Betriebssystem Android und die Firma Google gehören zusammen – soweit bekannt. Google beschreibt Android als „freie“ Software, bei der jeder den Programmcode nutzen und verändern kann. Wem also gehört Android? Und wer bestimmt, was im Code steht?
turned on #Android support on #JollaC due to #HereMaps (released July 28 in #Jolla store), decided to try other recent Android apps as well, such as #PokemonGO and #Prisma. all work pretty well, comparable to my #OnePlus2. and Prisma can turn the less-than-stellar pics from Jolla C into works of art ;)
