I use Aurora Store that grabs apps from Google. Apkpure also does that.

Paris women were finally allowed to wear trousers ten years ago. Imagine that.
Evil Catholics
A catholic group spent millions on app data that tracked gay priests, and handed the data to church officials. This shows how anybody can buy and misuse commercially available data. And how important privacy is.

Kremlin tells officials to stop using iPhones as they fear these could be spying.
If you want to talk to someone on Mastodon without giving them your phone number, you might want to look at Timurs Web Call, which now supports calls using your (and their) Mastodon account names. It also supports Mastodon notification when someone calls.

HELP with MAPS ONLINE...

WHERE IS: "ADD A STOP HERE" or similar ?
Try see if you add more than 2 map points!
I have 2 but don't see how to add in a stop in the middle or after a stop...
I hope I'm being stupid!

Write a paper letter if you can afford the stamp. When we successfully challenged the 2015 VATMOSS system seasoned campaigners said sending paper letters to relevant govt depts was the most useful thing supporters could do. Legally, letters must be opened, logged, filed. Sacks of mail make an impact.

It's about opening / changing minds with consent and logic involved...
and defending it. #NoBot #NoSearch #NoIndex #NoArchive #NoBridge
FreeSchool helps Learn / Respect / Love things more to 'house' a better understanding in the mind.. even with disagreement building you mind better.
All is about progressing our mindset especially against bastards and short-cutters (this includes dev's that don't care) so that the underlying mindwork (and even love between the people) is there and not dangerously sold out / using underlying cold system, with cold people, who have near-0 people skills and only maintain a nicer looking reality which in practise shit on people on the while.
Serving anyone who wants to explore, develop themself and others. We have to improve communication (nothing can last without that). Without comms it's more nearly towards fascism / ultimatums / rug pulls / constant "oh gee it happened again, let is not do anything about it".
Rebuilding things like the mind again is hard but a component check is necessary and one gets better as time goes on (not the opposite in using quick-fixes that undo us over time).
Biggest help as small example of what I mean on the Fediverse which you can do now is:
1/ change your Google YouTube links to redirected links to eliminate the bad code and filter out the adverts!
https://redirect.invidious.io/
2/ follow me (take the best, ditch rest)
3/ Use non-google search https://www.searx.org/
THANKS FOR HELPING OUT!
We need to use Fediverse / Mastodon etc without direct links to BigTech sites so they get less revenue from us here clicking Fedi links and supplying data to them / tracking us remotely... so not YouTube direct links but Redirected links ! π ====> https://redirect.invidious.io/
(it's YouTube without the tracking + ads!)
I can help add #bestpractices and inspire what is best from what I know and have seen... If not UNFOLLOW (it's ok but do stick with one or two people more daily).
The participation of people is needed, else we give power away to others that do not care or care much less than we do for people around us directly or from distance.
#FreeSchool #Answers = Friendship as a Solution
On a basic level I would like to make friends because I think this is the way to solving everything eventually which the many can do, and at the same time solves everything else (solving without friendship or just donating isn't always good).
That's all for now. It's boring alone. Let's live this together!

Interact / Send a message! Life is about healthy communication and finding out why things don't work and fixing it!
