When ZipoApps adds advertisements and telemetry to a future version of the Simple Mobile Tools apps, will my Google-Play-installed apps be automatically updated to the newer version with ads and telemetry? I don’t want ZipoApps to get any of my data.

People like giving recommendations like Super Tux Kart that haven’t aged well and don’t play well.

What’s the issue with SuperTuxKart? I thought that it was great fun when I played it.

LocalSend is not exactly an alternative to AirDrop. In LocalSend, two devices must be connected to the same LAN to share files with each other. In AirDrop, no LAN connection is necessary. Files are transferred directly between devices, similar to Bluetooth file sharing between devices.

WiFi and mobile data are activated all the time.

In our case, there are several problems with activating both WiFi and mobile data all the time:

• At home, if the WiFi is out of range, switched off, or temporarily out of service, Android would start to consume mobile data. This is highly relevant because, at her home, WiFi is unavailable from night time till early morning to enforce self-discipline.
• Outside home, there is no need for WiFi. Why should it be switched on when it will never be used outside home? It would just be a battery drain.

Using git it’s probably the most easy and lightweight method to VC plain text …

Really? I am currently using RCS for my simpler version control needs, and Git for larger and collaborative projects.

What are the advantages of using Borg instead of Duplicity?

If and when Signal is packaged for F-Droid, how is the British government going to stop people in the UK from using Signal?

There is Plexus which does this

Thank you. That is exactly the website that I was looking for.

What is meant by “non-free network service” in this context?

Geometric Weather gets its weather data from AccuWeather and OpenWeatherMap, which are not open source weather APIs. In contrast, omWeather gets its weather data from Open-Meteo, which is open source.

Jami seems to have problems with message delivery. I was not able to send a message between my two Android phones. I have tried several times. Is anyone experiencing the same problem?

EDIT: here is a similar complaint: https://old.reddit.com/r/jami/comments/101cq00/why_is_jami_still_not_working/

According to F-Droid:

Anti-Features

This app has features you may not like.

This app promotes or depends entirely on a non-free network service

Why would I use this “Geometric Weather” on Android instead of a completely free weather app such as omWeather?

In the version of Vim that I am using (Vim 8.1), the “advertisement” appears to be randomly chosen between “Help poor children in Uganda!” and “Sponsor Vim development!”.

Pharo is licensed under MIT hence most of my work needs to be licensed also under MIT.

I believe that this is not true. I thought that it is not mandatory for your work to be licensed under the MIT license in this case. Can anyone confirm this?

Linux phones

Will we be able to use messaging apps such as WhatsApp and Signal on Linux phones?

Looking forward to greater support for “driverless printing” in more Linux distributions, especially via IPP-over-USB. This would allow most consumer-level printers to be used directly from Linux without needing proprietary drivers and/or explicit Linux support from the printer vendor. This solves one of the common pain points when using desktop Linux at home.
