Offi Plans was apparently removed from the Playstore one more time, apparently because there was a “donate button”. It’s now back on Google Play Store.
A link to an article in German: Nahverkehrs-App: Öffi ist zurück im Play Store | heise online
A lot of FLOSS apps have a donate button, even if they are on the Play Store. There is a risk for them be removed without any warning.
New Etar version:
@jspricke which version does this apply to? I just generated the list of apps, and Etar isn’t among them. In the best case, this is because it’s not live on F-Droid yet, so it’ll be in next week’s edition.
In other news: the submission deadline for 50 has passed.
Conducting submissions through twitter and generating exponentially growing interest via twitter !!

Anyone have some time to make a TWIF? I think people are missing it 
Oh, didn’t know there was no one available…I’ll try tomorrow…
New app:
llCrop (Loss-less jpg cropping) to remove unwanted outer areas from a jpg-photo without loosing quality or meta data (Exif/Iptc and Xmp).
While there are many apps that can crop images (and may have many more features and can process other image formats like png, gif) most of these apps cause quality-losses caused by jpg-re-encoding.
FYI I’ve started to make the list, some 270 apps were build, I’ve just parsed about 40…
Mike Kuketz featured FDroid in the latest part of his Take back control series:
(Post in German)
F-Droid: Freie und quelloffene Apps – Take back control! Teil5 - https://www.kuketz-blog.de/f-droid-freie-und-quelloffene-apps-take-back-control-teil5/
SuperFreezZ version 0.1 comes out tomorrow, so it is beta now. (was alpha)
Actually it is already a rather “stable” beta as there was one issue that kept me from calling it beta for a rather long time.
Changes:
New intro
Update translations
Rename Freeze mode “Auto” to “Intelligent” (#16)
Tapping an app in the list will freeze it. Do not try this if it is already frozen.
Possiblity to view the intro again from the settings
Add decent crash reporting
Other minor improvements and bugfixes
The (new) Warmshowers app does not work because WS has turned off the API temporarily for reasons. The WS board says security, other theories in https://gitter.im/warmshowers-wsandroid/Lobby?source=all-rooms-list
In any event the app should be listed as anti-feature, as WS is now closed source.
The Huawei controversy could be a good opportunity to explain why a centralized proprietary app store can be bad for users.
EDRi covered that: Google-Huawei case highlights the importance of free software - European Digital Rights (EDRi)
(This shouldn’t come as a surprise, since FSFE is a member of EDRi)
Sorry, I probably won’t have the time to do this 
The tables never turned
The Debacle of Huawei, news under a sun that should have illuminated it long ago.
Like any guest to this shameful party of politics will attest, you know less about what is
running on a Huawei phone than you could want. Insofar as there are any rational actors in all of this, not knowing, or wanting to know more, takes a bite out of ones appetite for more to come. Fear and fear not.
Stances are taken, for the great unknown, when essential basics are not on the very table we are sat at. Instead, reminiscent of being invited to the table, one wonders what goes on underneath, and how to position oneself to deal with it.
As unsuspecting a consumer can be, this is a raw deal.
There just isn’t a whole lot of edible things for a consumer on this menu.
It is hard to treat oneself to the even the smallest of delusion, when the language
coming from the kitchen, and bodies involved, is as clear as it is muffled.
An accusation of poignantly accrued propensity.
Huawei exerting engrossment, at the very least, leaves the consumer powerless.
In today’s dog eat dog world, Huawei has no business serving anything undercooked,
especially if it isn’t allowed to.
And here we are, questioning the machinations of how that unsure taste in our mouths came to be. If you care about as much for what it is that you are eating, as you are consumed at the peril of mobile computing, you will be dining on nothing but food for thought, till starved of options that could be good.
Unusual, business wise, but unwisely business as usual; Revolving doors, ejecting onto everyone’s plate–monstrosities of no eyeballs or insight, in-transparent in nature.
It makes for bad safety in what purports to be a distributional model of trust, in a presentation of no shame.
The fun stops when someone else has the knife, and you can’t even have a fork, in simple recipe of recourse:
Start with not being able to use someone else’s closed sourcery. Taste the irony.
Replace with reproducible builds, all parts source code available, and copyleft licensing, as you see fit.
Tip! If your humble pie tastes bad at this point, you can add F-Droid, it contains all the ingredients!
Season with schematics, open bootloaders, and avoid putting in any blobs.
This classic dish, best served as a starter, not cold, would have even the fine directors of Huawei dining on something other than camels.
Whether their outlook is that of being the biggest, or smaller than the smallest manufacturer, nobody needs look further than to the Librem 5, Fairphone, and the Dragonbox Pyra to get a taste of freedom.
Looking for feedback like:
I don’t know about putting in “and you find your operation is starting to look like insolvency, cure …”
It seems like (mostly not intentioned) schadenfreude when they are down, possibly reflecting badly on the prior premise of copyleft and reproducible builds in the text.
How about this food related pun you can work in thusly:
Possibly,
I didn’t understand, something was not clear ___
or "Maybe you should keep it simple with
The accusation is one poignantly centred around power. It is a dog eat dog world.
If Huawei has this power, at the very least, the consumer doesn’t.
In today’s world, Huawei has no business serving anything undercooked, especially if it
isn’t allowed to."
Edit:
0 Anything more to add to the recipe section? Like “trustworthy community infrastructure” maybe 
1 How about “when the use of language coming from the kitchen” instead of "when the language coming from the kitchen?
2 Also “from the kitchen and concerning authorities”?

Though it is unclear then whether the “it” denotes the consumer or Huawei, it saves some words later, and leaves out writing “Huawei” twice.

changed from good things on this menu to

@kingu I’m fairly literate in American English (my native tongue), so if you could translate to that, it’d help. 
I am unfairly unlitterate, littered in American English, fam.
British English is the toppest of hats 
Do you want “table we are seated at” instead of table we are sat at"?
Edit: If we knew what Huawei put in their devices, we would be a table of contents. 
Mupdf Viewer got updated, I think to fix one(multiple?) security bug(s)?
Nope. Update MuPDF to 1.15 - #2 by relan
