@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…

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!
