Thundermail and various FOSS tools as Pro services coming from Thunderbird.
They’ve mentioned that

“All of these new services are (or soon will be) open source software under true open source licenses…It is our goal to eventually have a similar (such as Gmail and Office365) offering so that a 100% open source, freedom-respecting alternative ecosystem is available for those who want it. We don’t even care if you use our services with Thunderbird apps, go use them with any mail client. No lock-in, no restrictions – all open standards. That is freedom.”

Summary

The point of 100% and no lock-in, is usually used by airstrips to render the carriers. I guess it is a good point though, and hope they too do not change this like everyone else.

Key Mapper 3.0 is here! :tada:

:bubbles: Floating Buttons: you can create custom on-screen buttons to trigger key maps.

:card_index_dividers: Grouping key maps into folders with shared constraints.

:flashlight: Change the flashlight brightness. Tip: use the constraint for when the flashlight is showing to remap your volume buttons to change the brightness.

🛜 Send HTTP requests with a new action.

:heart: Many improvements to make your key mapping experience more enjoyable.

Gitnex for Forgejo & Gitea had the final bug fix on 8.0.3, and now it is moving for 9.0.0.
8.0.0+ caused few regression issues, especially for the offline cache & token fetching, which created major gaps between offline & online content.

Another fix was the login token issue as a regression from Frontport hotfix logins under #1433.

Fixed under: #1444 via Fix token fetch

EtchDroid stable release v2 updated after 2years (not yet uploaded to GH releases :man_shrugging:).
Though we already have their rc/pre-releases at F-Droid.

Major rewrite of EtchDroid!

• New Material You UI, much more intuitive and easier to use!
• EtchDroid will now recover from most write failures and ask you to unplug and reconnect your USB drive
• After writing the image, it will also be verified to ensure it didn't get corrupted
• The DMG functionality has been removed; use an older version if you still need it

Recently git turned 20, maybe mention about that while mentioning Gitnex.

ToS;DR

One more to add. I like this application, recently got added to F-Droid repo.
Their catch phrase is what I really liked to start seeing about it.

Terms of Service; Didn’t Read; “I have read and agree to the Terms” is the biggest lie on the web. We aim to fix that.

Their first F-Droid release, and originally released for Android in 2022 December, is now up with FOSS releases since February 2024, so almost after a hiatus of 2 years.

It allows you to look up the ToS;DR ratings, and take a step for yourself to get out of the mess of an ecosystem out there.

Now archived versions can also be accessed via /repo url so you can share a url to an apk and it will keep working after the version is archived.
