Pachli

Do you use #obtainium to install Android apps?

If so, good news:

1. #Pachli Current now has its own release page on GitHub, which means you can install it using Obtainium. pachli.app/2025/04/03/obtainiu has details, with screenshots.
2. The Pachli download page (pachli.app/download/) includes Obtainium links for both Pachli and Pachli Current.

Pachli · Pachli Current releases on GitHub / ObtainiumPachli Current is now available on a dedicated GitHub release page. If you don’t use Google Play you can still install, test, and report bugs with Pachli Current. Pachli Current is the pre-release variant, with new features and bug fixes that benefit from wider testing. Installing Pachli Current and reporting any bugs you find is a very useful way to contribute to the project. You can install Pachli Current from GitHub manually, or you can install Pachli Current using Obtainium.

Installing FOSS apps on your phone sometimes certainly feels like an eternal XKCD 927 purgatory.

- Apps by GrapheneOS for some GrapheneOS apps (and assorted ✨other✨ apps).
- Obtainium for installing apps directly from source/repos.
- Neo Store for installing apps who cannot be arsed to have .apk files in their repos (#AntennaPod), yet without dealing with the typical F-Droid shenanigans.
- Accrescent, because hell, why not! The more, the merrier!
- And, of course, Google Play Store for the corporate goblins.

I'm gonna list out my interests, and there's a ton of 'em. Classic autism move, getting obsessed with weird topics that stick with you forever.

Heads up, #Fediverse, you might lose it when I drop 100+ hashtags in one post. That's just how autism rolls I guess.

Yeah, I know it's a lot. But that's the beauty of an autistic brain I guess, we go deep on what fascinates us.

Fully #degoogle'd my #android phone! That was a tough one! The default android encryption definitely get on my nerves too much. But its actually nice to see that android is somehow resistent to malicious stuff with recovery and flashing!

Now I'm fully using #obtainium and #fdroid to get my apps! 100% worth it, because my phone feels much faster and cleaner. Bonus points for privacy :)

Happy I Love Free Software Day! 💕

Unfortunately, this year I could not join nor organize any in-person celebration, BUT of course I want to share my gratitude to the many, countless #FreeSoftware services I don’t merely use, but actually depend on.

Last year, I decided to focus only on #YunoHost, because it would have been crazy to list all the projects I use and I love.

This time, even if I will most certainly forget someone, I am challenging myself to mention all the #LibreSoftware my life is powered by.

Without further ado, THANK YOU to:

  • @yunohost, for powering Nebuchadnezzar
  • @fedora, for running my beloved #Framework laptop
  • @frameworkcomputer, for designing and building repairable, #Linux-friendly and truly open hardware
  • @gnome and @GTK, for being just gorgeous
  • @calyxos (thus @LineageOS), for powering my #Fairphone5
  • #Obtainium, for making me directly download apps on my phone, and @fdroidorg for distributing them
  • #AuroraStore, for proxying the download of apps I am doomed to get from Google Play
  • @element, for developing #Synapse, even though the new proprietary Synapse Pro is VERY PROBLEMATIC AND DISAPPOINTING
  • #Fractal, for being the most beautiful and awesome #Matrix client ever
  • @signalapp, for keeping me connected with the people I love
  • @Mastodon, for also maintaining a feature-packed experimental fork (#GlitchSoc), that is what Pan runs
  • #Tuba and #Moshidon, for being the most beautiful and awesome #Mastodon clients ever
  • #Firefox, for still remaining the best possible #browser choice, despite #Mozilla’s governance messiness
  • @openstreetmap, for allowing us to find the right path, both literally and metaphorically!
  • @organicmaps, for being the simplest, cleanest, yet feature-rich #OSM client and navigation app
  • @protonvpn, for making me browse safely from/to anywhere in the planet and @protonprivacy #ProtonMail, for hosting my email, despite the latest alarming political statements…
  • @libreoffice, for allowing me to draft documents with ease, the last of which was my #CV
  • #LanguageTool, for preventing me from making embarassing spelling mistakes
  • @photoprism, for safely storing and indexing all my photographic memories, on Aby, and for providing stellar and friendly support too!
  • #Actual, for moderating the very likely risk of ending up completely broke, since it forces me to manage my finances consciously and coherently
  • @readeck, for storing and sorting ALL my varied and overwhelming inputs
  • @nextcloud, for storing and synchronizing my data, for its #calendar, its #tasks, and all its awesome apps
  • #Rustdesk, for preventing my friends and family members from going crazy, by allowing me to remotely connect to their devices and directly address the issues they have
  • #Listmonk, for sending out my newsletter
  • @eleventy, for powering all the websites I maintain, above all the virtual representation of my mind, and for being the only reason why I resist and try to continue learning #JavaScript
  • @forgejo, for giving us a chance to truly control and collectively develop the sources of our software, but most importantly @Codeberg, for RESISTING, RESISTING, RESISTING, despite the hatred and attacks nazi assholes throw at them
  • @musicbrainz for keeping music knowledge open and free, and @ListenBrainz for scrobbling the crazy music I listen to
  • The @fsfe, for promoting this celebration and fighting the good fight!

Lastly, but most importantly, the biggest thank you goes to all the free software libraries and dependencies the above mentioned #software are made of/built with, including #C, #JavaScript, #Python, #Rust, and all community-maintained programming languages.

I am super sorry if I forgot someone!

Ojo con lo que leí justo ayer sobre #Fdroid:

grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/

Por Ahora he estado probando el #obtainium cómo alternativa

GrapheneOS MastodonGrapheneOS (@GrapheneOS@grapheneos.social)A post from the developer of WireGuard on the severe security flaws and lack of trustworthiness of F-Droid: https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-/issues/3110#note_1613430404 This led to them including a self-update system which was openly implemented and documented. F-Droid was unaware they'd shipped it for half a year, and by then WireGuard had essentially escaped from in their words being held hostage by F-Droid. This was a rare case where an app used developer signing keys via their flawed reproducible builds system. Most don't.

Sobre instalación segura de aplicaciones en #Android

1. Instalar apps prioritariamente desde google play utilizando una cuenta de google exclusiva para ese menester.

2. Si la app no se encuentra allí, traten de buscarla es @accrescent una tienda con una seguridad equivalente a la de gplay.

3. Accrescent tiene, de momento, muy pocas apps. Si no estuviese allí, la siguiente opción es utilizar #Obtainium, algo más difícil pero preferible a f-droid.

4. Huyan de #fdroid mstdn.social/@GrapheneOS@graph

@GrapheneOS While I appreciate bringing up the security concerns the existence of alternatives to #FDroid I do not think we have those when it comes to pure FOSS apps without the usual big corporate trackers/libs. #Accrescent lists a few apps and fails to provide relevant information about them (such as requested permissions). E.g. #Qlango includes multiple tracking libraries by #Meta / #Facebook and doesn't look like it is FOSS to any degree. Even while the #FDroid repo is not carefully curated I don't run into traps like these. 🤷

There is a need for a curated and maintained FOSS app repo and currently there is nobody but @fdroidorg providing it. #Obtainium, #Accrescent are mostly option for expert users who exactly know who to trust and what they are looking for. @Kulei @newhinton
