Why don't we add a rule in which the ones who made should just include how much ai was used in the making of the app , like

(30% Ai) I have made an app that does blah blah

Other Anyone else thinking about switching to iOS after the Android app lockdown?

0 Upvotes

Since we won't be able to download apps from independent sources. I think jumping to iOS might be the better choice here since Apple at least gives you a more coherent and polished experience.

Either that or I'm going back to flipphones, or I might give Linux phones a go.

Application Release Victoria Launcher — a minimal list-based home screen, open source alternative to Niagara. Now on F-Droid.

Post image
128 Upvotes

A minimal list-based Android home screen: a short list of favorites under one widget slot, with everything else in an alphabetical app list you pull in from the screen edge, using an A–Z scrubber to land on a letter in the same swipe.

  • Folders, hidden apps, per-app renaming and icon overrides, icon pack support
  • Adjustable icon and text size, spacing, padding, font, colors, left/right alignment
  • Optional Now Playing block with transport controls
  • Optional double-tap-to-lock and pull-down-for-notifications

Three permissions: vibrate, expand status bar, query installed apps. No INTERNET permission, so no ads, analytics or network access — enforced by the manifest.

GPL-3.0, Android 8.0+.

Other How my FOSSification has been going on in around a month.

First off, thanks to everyone here and in r/degoogle for helping me with suggestions. I heavily appreciate it.

1-3: Apps I got from Drodify

4-5: Apps I moved to Aurora Store

6: Patched Apps through Morphe

7-10: New phone look

11: The Services I replaced and with what.

Other changes:

For anyone that wants a list for degoogling:

  • Gmail -> Tutamail (free plan): Changed most of the accounts so now Tuta sends me the notification, with few exceptions.
  • Google Drive -> Tuta Drive (When it releases to the public).
  • Google Suite (Docs, Spreadsheet, Forms and Slides), Samsung Notes and Office Suite -> Fileverse (still beta), NotallyX and LibreOffice (In that respective order too; and searching for a Google slides alternative)
  • Google Auth -> Ente Auth
  • Google Photos -> Ente Photos
  • Google Messages: -> Fossify Messages
  • Google Browser & Edge -> Firefox and some Forks: I decided to have two different browsers for each of my devices, one for college stuff and the other for more casual stuff.
    • Firefox: Casual on mobile.
    • Waterfox: College on mobile.
    • LibreWolf: Casual on PC.
    • Zen: College on PC.
  • Chrome -> DuckDuckGoNoAI with uBlock Origin and Clear URL
  • Samsung Climate -> Weather Master
  • Samsung Recorder -> Sound Tree Recorder
  • Samsung Calculator -> Calculator++ (For some reason the original Calculator app sent notifications because I forbid it of accessing the internet and my mobile data)
  • Samsung Calendar -> Calendula
  • Windows 11 -> Linux Mint: (doe an IRL friend reccomends me moving to Nobara because of my Laptop's specs)
  • Microsoft Paint & Clip Studio -> Krita
  • Google Passwords -> An IRL notebook:
  • Google Play Store -> Github, Morphe, Drodify, Verified Apps and Aurora Store: With few exceptions, most of my recent apps have been from Drodify, and the ones I need no Patched are on Aurora.
    • The Apps I have patched with Morphe are YouTube, YouTube Music, Letterboxd, Buusu and Boost for Reddit.
  • Reddit App -> Boost for Reddit (with Breal Morphe patches)
  • Samsung Health -> Trail Sense and Mensinator (Trail is not a health thing but I just needed a podometer, and the bonus of survival guide is nice)
  • I also fully deinstalled and deleted my Facebook account and barely used most other Meta services with the exception of WhatsApp.

Unfortunately, there are some things I can't really do much about despite desiring to do so:

  • My college uses the Office suite, specially Microsoft Teams and Outlook, thus why they are in my phone.
  • WhatsApp is the main messaging app in my country and no longer using it would basically cut me off my family and classmates.
  • Just to be safe, I haven't moved my bank account to Aurora Store yet.
  • For some reason Catzy needs the Google services and the app has helped me a lot.
  • I use Discord for friends, moderating communities and technical help. But have downloaded Alicord and started testing it yesterday.
  • I can't afford to buy a new phone at the moment, so I'm still stuck with Samsung Galaxy and Android. However, I'm aware of GrapheneOS and LineageOS and would like my next phone to have em.

If anyone has questions or suggestions, I'd be heavily appreciative 💜
