#Google has been up to no good for a long time, but now they want to get really #evil!

Starting September 2026, a silent update, nonconsensually pushed by Google, will block every Android app whose developer hasn't registered with Google, signed their contract, paid up, and handed over #government ID.

#UntrackMe 2.0 is now available on #FDroid. After more than 3 years without updates (deep links no longer worked on Android 12+), I finally redefined the app as a browser that checks links you tap to clean them before delegating the action to another app.
That was the only solution. I'll follow your feedback closely.

RE: mastodon.social/@HolosSocial/1…

#Holos joining #FDroid will be another challenge.
I personally want to encourage everyone to use their own custom domain to fully own their Fediverse identity. You can also use your own S3/WebDAV for backups and media hosting.
This setup means no dependency on a relay.
If the relay goes down, if you get blocked, or if you want to move, you keep your full identity.
This F-Droid release should help attract more users and bring in more feedback to move the project forward.

Did you know that #CastLab is an open source app that lets you cast pictures, videos and audio to your TV?

It uses the #DLNA protocol and is designed to be easy to use without any technical knowledge. It automatically detects devices, and you can cast entire albums or create your own playlists.
Available on #FDroid and soon on #Altstore

#HolosSocial will soon reach #Fdroid official builds and also be available on Google Play. For #iOS, it is already on TestFlight and #Altstore.

The relay has been reduced to its minimum of dependencies, but remains necessary. Currently, only holos.social exists.

You could host a relay in a different region (currently Europe). The goal is not to have one big relay with smaller ones around it.

Please share. More about it: holos.social/how-it-works
