@dansup @loops looking forward to see you here! Read about loops a few weeks ago and was hoping for something like that, so I'm excited, too! 🤞 the APK will not be too big 🙈

@dansup feel free to ping me from the issue then should you create one, I can e.g. give you the full scan results there and maybe help finding "partial solutions". With the "library problem" solved, maybe I could also make an exception size-wise. We'll see. @derfopps

@dansup Das ist leider mehr als das doppelte des per-App Limits bei IoD. OK, ist ja ein "Fat Build" (mit mehreren ABIs) – mit per-ABI Builds ließe sich da noch etwas machen (native libs sind unkomprimiert, jeweils 8 MB – also single-ABI wären die APKs ca. 50 MB; immer noch zu groß) Oof, und der Sacnner findet 7 "offending libs". MLKit ist Schuld, zieht Firebase+GMS mit rein.

Hast Du ein Issue dafür? Dann kann ich mal schauen, ob ich helfen kann. MLKit wird aber schwierig…

@derfopps

@derfopps @dansup first start tagging releases (https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed-rn/releases). Please attach the APK to its corresponding release, Then I can take a look.

Btw: how big is the APK? Seeing RN suggests rather huge. Are there per-ABI builds? That would help.

@starlabssystems I must say seeing how you handled this makes me remember your name. Kudos! Should I ever need a device like this, I'll surely remember were to look first. Thanks for caring*!

*Unfortunately not a given these days, so happy seing your light shine bright there. @aral

Quite easy, @georgetakei – let me explain that with a different example:

If I clean my room, it might just be clean afterwards. But if YOU clean my room – wow, that's simply awesome, no matter the outcome! :awesome:

EU-Vorschlag: Selbstverpflichtung statt Cookie-Banner

Also weil Betreiber es falsch umsetzen, verzichtet man lieber ganz darauf - und hofft auf freiwillige Transparenz? Wow. Wieviel hat die Lobby dafür gezahlt? 🤦♂️

@user_mastodon None. Apple/iOS questions are the domain of to @aral – I'm just the Android guy 😜

@aral @opensourcedesign @simulo @fosdem If that's Google's belief – then why are so many of its core services proprietary, and why did they replace one AOSP app after the other with their own proprietary counterparts? 🤔

(rhetorical question, obviously)

@hiramfromthechi Let me fix that image for you:

@aaribaud @SylvieLorxu @ploum @LenticularCloud

"The actual risk scenario would be that a github repo owner build an APK from sources other than those on the repo and upload it to the repo"

That indeed is a real risk as I have no means to check that. There are other checks in place (library scanner, VT etc) which should reduce the risk of "bad stuff" – but a little risk always exists. So you need to trust the developer, too…

@ploum it indeed mostly is. The entire framework and all (see https://gitlab.com/IzzyOnDroid/repo/). There were some contributions, and I got some help on questions – but for the most part (95%?) it's just me… Same with the companion site at https://android.izzysoft.de/ and my eBook server at https://ebooks.qumran.org/ (see my profile here). Glad to read you find it helpful! 😍 @aaribaud @SylvieLorxu @LenticularCloud

@aaribaud No. As the "Readme's" say, my repo serves the APKs built by the developers. Just follow the "details" link at the top of the list 😉 Or go directly to the question you raised via this link:

https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/info#how_enter

@aaribaud Well, their APK is close to 0 MB. My repo runs on my personal space and thus has a size limit: 30 MB per app. Which means, their mail app simply does not fit in, or it would be there 🤷♂️

@ilumium How fitting: the @EU_Commission uses SurveilanceAds to promote its planned surveillance tool. This makes it even clearer what the real purpose of ChatControl is – and that the official arguments are nothing but "wrapping it to make it look nice". Despicable.

Ylva should have her chats controlled – and then step down. I don't see how else the commission can be salvaged; this shows the commission as it is now cannot be trusted.

@aral fuck walled gardens.
fuck intransparency.

(I'm currently adding "AntiFeature reasons" to F-Droid apps having AntiFeatures such as NonFreeNet to make clear why. Currently running: Batch 19. Next build cycle will lift the latest F-Droid client to "recommended"; that one is already available and able to display those reasons. I'd say "try it out", but it's Android and you're on iOS 😉)

#callingOut to my fellow fedizens:

Does anyone know where to find some decent, usefule SVG title screens for video creation? For the "intro screen"?

Ideally public domain, but must allow for use with publicly shared videos. And I don't want a © mark on the opening picture, obviously.

To give you an idea of the intended use, here's the link to my travel channel https://libre.video/video-channels/travel_izzy and my scuba channel https://libre.video/video-channels/scuba_izzy New videos in the make for the former currently…

#help

What a day! Two more apps got all their AntiFeatures stripped and are libre now. For one of them that means not only the return to my repo at a quarter of its size (85 MB => 24 MB for the "fat APK" with all ABIs), but also (spoiler) its going for the next goal and entering F-Droid soon™. Stay tuned!
