IzzyOnDroid can publish updates even if it's not reproducible, this is not an "app publishing" issue at all. IzzyOnDroid can deal with AGP 8.12 fine.
Also "not necessarily your fault" means "probably not your fault", the opposite of "your fault"

That's being worked on actually and is already available in the F-Droid Basic Alpha: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.fdroid.basic/
Do note that the new APIs from Google require apps to take "ownership" of the update process of another app so if you update from another app then F-Droid Basic Alpha loses its ability to automatically update it until you manually update is from F-Droid Basic Alpha.
As you'd guess from the name, it's still an alpha, but from my experience it works pretty well. Bug reports are helpful, of course :)

Update: LibreOffice has prepended the blog post with a note that they decided to abandon any Blockchain plans and deleted the tweet on https://twitter.com/LibreOffice/status/1592462972575952898.

Was this the "free speech" dude?
Same dude as this? https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/feb/03/elon-musk...

> that was otherwise abandoned
What are you talking about? It was never abandoned. That UI redesign took them multiple years and they released several betas over that time period. Just almost nobody bothered to chime in during any of the betas and then everyone started to complain when it got to stable.

I see SimpleLogin mentioned in the replies several times, but I haven't seen anyone mention that you can use your own domain name with them to prevent vendor lock-in.
You can also export your setup through their API so you can very easily migrate to a self-hosted instance if ever necessary:
wget --header "Authentication: YOUR_API_KEY" https://app.simplelogin.io/api/export/aliases -o simplelogin-export-$(date +%s).csv
And given the author talks about Have I Been Pwned, I feel I should mention that SimpleLogin has built-in HIBP integration (contributed by me in https://github.com/simple-login/app/pull/472)

To all Android users: there is an Open Source app to detect AirTags.
Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.seemoo.at_t... F-Droid: https://f-droid.org/packages/de.seemoo.at_tracking_detection... Source code: https://github.com/seemoo-lab/AirGuard

Okay, so the title is not 100% correct, but I had to make it fit.
It is specifically about unambiguous translations of the word Libre, like the Dutch "vrije". These are translations that cannot be mistaken for "free as in no cost".
The term "Open Source" is allowed without issue.

Why is Matomo not in the Analytics category but listed below "Check out alternatives to popular commercial products"? Matomo is Open Source too?
(Also, "Open Source" is not the opposite of "commercial")

>Data export has changed from “export all data via CSV” to “export CSV of the last 7 days” with anything else meaning “upgrade to PRO” which, by the way, costs EUR 0.99 monthly or EUR 8.99 per annum.
As a German, you can luckily still request your data using the GDPR. I'd suggest finding an alternative (preferably Open Source) app and giving them your export file to ask if they can add support to import this other format.
I am doing this with my app too, just supporting importing from other apps' GDPR-extracted data. An example: https://github.com/TheLastProject/Catima/issues/168

I love this clause too. It's been making it possible to help people migrate to my app: https://github.com/TheLastProject/Catima/issues?q=is%3Aissue...
Of course I document my export format too so others can do the same with data from my app: https://github.com/TheLastProject/Catima/wiki/Export-format :)
The sad part is the allowed 30 days timeframe. Stocard really abuses this to make you wait as long for your data as they legally can make you wait: https://twitter.com/SylvieLorxu/status/1389343401435439112

It just crashes for me when getting my final score (on Firefox). Guess my taste is so bad I broke the AI...
Although they do have build servers for the purpose of confirming upstream APKs match the source code using reproducible builds, but those are separate processes that don't block each other (unlike F-Droid's rather monolithic structure).
IzzyOnDroid has been faster with updates than F-Droid for years, releasing app updates within 24 hours for most cases.
