#Keyboard Switcher: Floating button to easily change the keyboard.

I'm a heavy user of the #Fleksy keyboard but one thing it misses is support for Indian languages (Marathi, Hindi for me), like the #AOSP keyboard. This handy little app provides a floating button for a quick keyboard switch. The perfect workaround for my use case.

I've been trying to install apps from #YalpStore and also #AuroraStore available on @fdroidorg. But alas, none of the apps get installed. Has anyone here ever faced a similar issue? Is there a workaround? Note that I've tried both the types of accounts for this.

P.S: My device runs on AOSP 8.1.0 custom ROM.

Our plan to bring the Tutanota app to @fdroidorg is making progress: https://tutanota.com/blog/posts/secure-mail-open-source

We have just removed GCM for push from the app, the main requirement to realize the F-Droid publication! 😀 Here are details: https://github.com/tutao/tutanota/commit/449c36eac5755571f4c5d28a74dfdc13c3cdc6df

Microsoft is showing how much they love open source by encouraging projects to host their own infrastructure again ❤️

Also, please if you do move your code away from Github:
Be sure that your package maintainers are aware of this change, for example by filling an issue.

#GitLab is quite under load currently, pages are slow – while its #Github Importer munches up to ~8k repos per hour: https://monitor.gitlab.net/dashboard/db/github-importer?orgId=1

How many days until Github is emptied? On an average of 5k/h it would be 120k/day or close to 1M/week. So 80 weeks? Hm...

Android devs: if your app is in my repo, and you're going to leave #Github – please let me know where you're going so we can check how I can pick up future updates!

(please boost or copy if you know any affected project)

The drama around #ForkOff only reinforces my theory that the only healthy way to handle FOSS projects is via multi-stakeholder cooperatives where both devs and users have their say. The amount of bitterness I'm seeing right now is the most eminent byproduct of the "benevolent dictatorship" model which has been the scourge of the open source world since the beginning of times.

Turn Mastodon into a cooperative NOW!

Some #GnomeTips:

Sometimes you may need a tool that is not available on your distro. Multiboot? Well, that's possible but very annoying for just one tool.

Maybe just use one of the default tools in #Fedora to run it: Gnome boxes.

It's a easy UI to create and use VMs. It keeps things simple and integrates well with the #Gnome Desktop environment.

On Fedora Magazine you can see how you get your OS in the box:

So it appears #microsoft bought #GitHub.

Will that be the start of a #deletecode movement on Github?

And looking into federates git instances???

And thinking that as hard as federated or self hosting your project instance is. Having milions of projects centralized in one single intance however convinient, can end up in shit like this
