There’s also Flare fwiw:

MicroOS (and its flavors) update the same way Android does; as a full image

They don’t. They update with regular packages. The updates are atomic though and are only applied at next boot, so there’s less of a risk of weird breakages.

This is the best FOSS keyboard that’s under active maintenance.

I assume that might be a reference to FlorisBoard? Because development on that one as actually picked up again, but that’s only visible so far if you’re using the Beta version. They’re opreparing for a new full release.

A lot of the mainstream apps definitely have privacy issues. They often sell data about their users menstrual cycles which can theoretically be bought by anti-abortion activists/authorities on the free market to track whether someone might be pregnant.

StreetComplete and its expert editions are definitely my favourite way to contribute to OpenStreetMaps on mobile. There’s also Vespucci which allows you to do more complex stuff like add paths and shape, but the UI isn’t super great imo. Organic Maps which I use for navigation actually allows you to edit and contribute quite a bit.

Which is at least less than all the other big platforms are taking.

Or maybe the original post was simply muted for a different reason.

There’s also been huge waves of spam account attacks on Mastodon recently.

“Weather chaos” is one hell of a euphemism.

Not inherently. But since both Mastodon and Bluesky use some sort of public protocol, it is possible that people will develop some bridging software that allows both protocols to talk to each other. I think some people are already trying to build something like that, but I have no idea how well it will work/what the trade-offs will be. Maybe not every feature can be easily translated between the protocols.

But they’re (allegedly soon) federated and say they want to give control of the protocol over to an independent standards body. So like, half of the stuff you’re saying might not even really apply here.

I’m curious what lesson learned from twitter easily also applies to bluesky, as that’s genuinely not very clear to me.

Video Transcoder on F-Droid allows you to convert and cut videos at least, but it hasn’t seen an update in ages and the cutting process isn’t 100% precise, so you might end up with ± a second of what you intended.

Women love him, fish fear him, fish women have conflicting feelings.

Huh, seems like you’re right or at least I couldn’t find anything like that. I feel like theoretically ot should be able to do that, so I’m gonna snoop around a bit more and maybe file an issue. Doesn’t help that kbin’s UI is still pretty atrocious at the moment, but the project is still fairly young and developing at a good pace at least.

You can follow people and do regular posts on kbin in case you didn’t know yet.
