they talk about alternative stores as well but fail to do a great reporting on the issue ... a alternative appstore that need's google approve it's simply not a real alternative.

From https://keepandroidopen.org/ In August 2025, Google announced ↗ that as of September 2026, it will no longer be possible to develop apps for the Android platform without first registering centrally with Google. This registration will involve:

  • Paying a fee to Google
  • Agreeing to Google’s Terms and Conditions
  • Providing government identification
  • Uploading evidence of the developer’s private signing key
  • Listing all current and future application identifiers
 

Deserved it! just watched and it was really good!

Mr Nobody against Putin follows Talankin in his job at a school in Karabash a poor mining town near the Ural Mountains. While recording his students, Talankin also documents the Putin administration movements to control public perception during the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian war.

I've got access to the beta of the Surf app. Some thoughts:

some stuff I really liked:

  • rss works (though no custom URLs yet, just what they already scraped)

  • you get lemmy, mastodon, bluesky, threads all together

  • you can make your own feeds and check what other people made (like a custom timeline, or topic-specific like “NBA”, “woodworking”, “retro gaming stuff”)

  • has different modes: you can switch between videos, articles, podcasts depending on the feed

but also...

  • can’t add your own RSS feeds (huge miss)

  • some feeds break and show no posts even when they’re active (ok, it's still a beta)

  • YouTube videos have ads (not into that—I support creators through patreon, affiliate links, whatever. not ads)

  • feeds you create are public by default unless you manually change it

  • not open source. built on open protocols, sure. but the app is locked up. (HUGE MISS)

all that said, I really believe: better feeds = better experience = better shot at the fediverse going mainstream.

anyone else tried it?

do you know anyone building an open source version of this? is that even realistic?

I’d love to hear what do you think :)

hi! i bought a MIYOO MINI V4  to play pico 8 games

i've followed these instructions:
Drag the app folder from the releases page into /mnt/SDCARD/App/ (so it becomes /mnt/SDCARD/App/pico). Warning: If you use FTP and Filezilla, you must set your transfer type to binary or it will corrupt binaries on transfer.

Drag your RASPBERRY PI pico8_dyn and pico8.dat into /mnt/SDCARD/App/pico/bin (If the directory doesn't exist, you can create it). You can purchase Pico-8 here.

and i cannot manage to see pico 8 in the apps menu as the tutorials say.
also instead of all the apps they show i only see 4. instead of multiple apps as in the tutorial i followed
