@ambiguous_yelp @olivenolje some banking apps are almost required. Ex. some banks I'm with require it to do certain expected features, excluding withdrawal/deposit.
I've also seen one provider (wish I remembered the name) that explicitly stated they'll close your account if the app is not used every 30 days or so...
Hence why I have two phones...
@jessienab @olivenolje Ha thats ridiculous of them - if banks actually cared about 2FA for security they wouldn't use mobile phones for that they're too easily hacked; they'd insist on key fob devices instead.
Of course its actually about building a surveillance network and the banks get a cut of the profits

KDE supports the "Keep Android Open" campaign
#Google will cut off independent developers to #Android if they do not register with Google first. This will kill independent platforms like @fdroidorg and severely impede FLOSS devs from creating apps for Android.
Many KDE apps are deployed for Android: KDE Connect, Itinerary, Tokodon, and there's even a test version of Krita for Android.
KDE calls on Google to reverse course and @keepandroidopen.
@kde @fdroidorg @keepandroidopen Not to be rude, but as an average user/developer what's the issue at stake here?

@toadofsky @kde @keepandroidopen https://keepandroidopen.org/ has a section for users too.
Simple example, you want to install a nice app your friend made/recommended, you run stock Android, installation is rejected. The end.

@kde @fdroidorg @keepandroidopen Do you really think a company that lick the boots of a fascist dictator will give a damn about this open letter, let alone the openness of its own products?
@Stem @kde @fdroidorg @keepandroidopen But this is the only thing we can do.

Apple and Google, 2 choices for apps from where we sit, and both are partners in crime. END MONOPOLIES. Capitalism has become extortion when conglomerated.
Tear everything apart and build it from scratch, the entire system has been subverted to evil.

Imagine people thinking they live in a #democracy when corporations make major decisions affecting people's lives, based purely on maximizing profit.

@kde @olivenolje @plasmamobile
I hadn't heard until Plasma Mobile until now, I had only heard of the pinephone one. I am excited to hear more about the project development in the future!
@ambiguous_yelp @kde @olivenolje @plasmamobile
Not even remotely ready. I'd almost say its 10 years away but you need a foundation for it to run on. And the number of phones it can run on right now I can count on one hand. Which is not a good start. Classic chicken and the egg situation, sadly.

Tokodon for Android? Where?

Tokodon for Android? Where?
Simply add the kde android repository to your fdroid and enjoy!
https://cdn.kde.org/android/stable-releases/fdroid/repo
I can recommend Tokodon (also) on android, i find is so much better than mastodon's official android client!

@KellicTiger @ambiguous_yelp @kde @plasmamobile Actually, even if it goes against the concept of user freedom, I'd prefer all the efforts going into making Linux solid for a handful of phones, instead of trying to adapt the OS to many different brands and models.
Even better, exclusively work on something like the PinePhone and make it the flagship of Linux phones. Perhaps the Linux Mobile would then finally really take off?

@kilgoretrout @kde @fdroidorg @keepandroidopen Don't expect to win a fight against a supertank if your only weapon is a fistful of tiny stones.
@Stem
keepandroidopen.org has information about what you can do besides begging Google.

I expect hardware to become more locked down, this is what states and capital want. The best solution to that continues to be open source hardware and modular devices.
I believe this because open source hardware and modular devices create power at a grassroots level and invites tighter crackdowns from governments - but there is a political limit to how oppressive a regime can be and the more power we build for ourselves the more expensive it will be for them to stop us using unapproved apps which slows the whole oppressive system down
@ambiguous_yelp @olivenolje @kde @Stem I agree. I believe one solution is to start/continue to design hardware that's generic enough to do the job. Think dune buggies which are bare-bones but can move around quickly. Bolt on accessories as needed. Perhaps bring the #Permacomputing crowd in? Framework Computer style?

@kde@floss.social @flan@bonito.cafe KDE F-Droid Repo obviously. KDE rarely use Google Play to distribute. -

I had to open an excel spreadshett. One sheet refers to another sheet, so it does not work with the tools I normally use.
It does work in office365.
This is the reference in the cells

god I'm happy I don't have to deal with this shit more often.

@silverpill@mitra.social That's right. I think client-side abstraction will be necessary when ActivityPub C2S interactions become more widespread, too.

More than 10 countries have advised citizens to leave Israel and Iran. Exiled Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi issued a video statement calling for unity and a free Iran. "I hope to be with you soon, and that today's gathering will be our last one in exile," he said. #Iran

@scarpentier@pataterie.ca the privacy reasons don't apply nearly as much when talking about emoji which are hosted by the instance.
Using them doesn't leak your IP to anybody except the instance, which if you're using the emoji I'd assume you trust the instance you're on to not store IPs or use them maliciously.
Linking to remote assets that anybody can specify, I do get the concern, even if I also think those concerns are overblown.

@dado @Possiblydrew @bovaz and watch Italian movies! Or even Italian dubs of English movies, although the dubs aren't always word-for-word faithful to the original 8-D
