#F-Droid

[wayfire-official]

Shout-out to Pocket-Paint on fdroid btw.

It's like a little gimp on your phone. It doesn't have all the tools and stuff, but a lot more than I've seen of any other imp tool on android so far.

Like, I get to work with layers and put multiple pictures over another.

The UI looks a little dated, but it's still pretty good.

If you want to quickly make a funni edit/meme and don't have a laptop or PC near you, then I highly recommend it

Hey so um. Download F-droid if you have an android. 👍

Süchtig nach (a)-sozialen Medien?

Gegen die Lobbymacht von Google, Amazon, Meta & Co !

... versuchen wir seit Jahren aufzuklären und kämpfen mit Flyern und Veranstaltungen gegen die Vertrauensseeligkeit der Menschen, mit der sie ihre Daten diesen Heuschrecken zum Weiterverkauf übergeben. Die Konzerne werden dabei reicher als manche Staatshaushalte und einige ihrer Chefs befinden sich auf einem gefährlichen "Rechtsweg" und nutzen ihre Macht, um unsere Demokratie abzuschaffen. LobbyControl.de warnt uns in ihrem aktuellen Newsletter noch vor einem weiteren möglichen Szenario:

Digitaler Blackout: Wie abhängig sind wir von Google und Co.?

Stellen Sie sich vor: Sie wachen auf, greifen nach Ihrem Smartphone und – nichts funktioniert mehr. Keine Nachrichten von Freunden, keine Navigation zum Restaurant, in dem Sie verabredet sind, kein Zugriff auf Ihr Bankkonto.

Diese Gefahr ist real. Unser digitales Leben hängt mehr denn je von Microsoft, Meta, Google & Co. ab. Ein Blackout droht, wenn sie morgen entscheiden, dass wir ihnen nicht mehr nützen. Nachdem sich die Tech-Konzerne mit Donald Trump verbündet haben, ist es höchste Zeit, sich aus der einseitigen Abhängigkeit von US-Technologiekonzernen zu befreien und europäische Alternativen aufzubauen. ...

Um uns vor der Macht der Tech-Konzerne zu schützen, hat die EU in den letzten Jahren wichtige Gesetze verabschiedet. Diese sehen weitreichende Maßnahmen und wirksame Strafen vor. Einzelne Plattformen wie X könnten sogar verboten werden. Doch die Durchsetzung der Regeln wackelt. Die Abhängigkeiten werden von der US-Regierung und den Konzernen gegen uns in Europa ausgespielt. Das muss ein Weckruf sein: Wir müssen die Abhängigkeiten abbauen und unsere digitale Unabhängigkeit stärken. Nur so schützen wir unsere Demokratie.

LobbyControl.de deckt zum Start einer neuen Bundesregierung "mit einer Kurzstudie auf, wie die US-Tech-Lobby in Deutschland die Politik beeinflusst. Wir enthüllen, was die Digitalriesen verbergen möchten und bauen so öffentlichen Druck für Veränderung auf.

Der Digital Markets Act (DMA) schränkt die Macht großer Konzerne ein. Wir haben hart dafür gekämpft, dass dieses gute Regelwerk in Gesetze gegossen wurde. Im Mai überreichen wir unseren aktuellen Appell für eine wirksame Durchsetzung des DMA an die EU-Kommission. 15.000 Menschen unterstützen uns dabei – wir zeigen so, dass die Zivilgesellschaft hinter strengen Regeln für die Tech-Konzerne steht."

Das Wichtigste ist jedoch, dass sich so viele Menschen wie möglich freie Open Source Alternativen für ihre Kommunikation suchen und sich von den Tech-Giganten lösen. Nur so können wir dem oben beschriebenen Szenario entgehen.  Außerdem müssen wir uns in Europa mit Initiativen in anderen Ländern vernetzen und eine gemeinsame Strategie entwickeln.

Ein Leben ohne WhatsApp und Co. ist nicht nur möglich, sondern sinnvoll. Sichere Messenger gibt es viele und schon sind unsere Daten wieder sicher(er).

Ed eccoci arrivati all��ultima parte della serie dedicata a Syncthing, questa volta incentrata sull’uso del programma con i dispositivi mobili (qui potete trovare la prima, la seconda e la terza parte).

Bed Chem - Pezzy x Reader

Summary: Reader is a famous musician performing their hit song, Bed Chem, with a special surprise at the end.

cw: f!reader, suggestive material

AN: Heavily inspired by @chaos-chloe's fic Juno! Thought I'd try my hand at one of my favorite songs from Sabrina Carpenter, ending pose inspired from the Nashville show!

-

As I was finishing laying my heart on stage during “Lie To Girls”, I caught a glimpse of the security guard at the end of the stage signal to Pezzy with a discreet thumbs up which he returned.

The lights go down low as we all get in our spots for one of my favorite numbers, “Bed Chem”. It’s all about love, sultriness, and embodying the sexiest part of ourselves. My outfit, with the little see-through shawl, is so cute and adds the perfect amount of sexy coverage.

As I hear the opening beats, I get into position laying on the round bed cornered on the stage. My dancers, strutting along with the screen curtains, closing them as we get a little steamy for this next song.

I smile at the camera hidden above me while my picture blooms on the screens to my adoring audience. 

If Pezzy’s jaw could drop any farther, it would be on the floor like a cartoon character. He looks to the guys, eyes almost bulging out, in adoration for his girlfriend. The guys were wearing big smiles in support of their best friend, Grizzy patting his back hard out of excitement.

“Bro, look at your girl!” Grizzy says.

“I was expecting a lot but this is even better,” Pezzy said, turning into the widest smile he could muster.

Feeling the energy from the crowd, I wink towards the camera as I began the first verse.

“I was in a sheer dress the day that we met

We were both in a rush, we talked for a sec”

I sang, switching my arm and leg positions to add some alluring energy to my performance.

“You're friendin' me up so we could connect

And what are the odds? You sent me a text”

I sang, thinking about how Pezzy and I first met. I was good friends with Grizzy for a few years due to our music connection, featuring on some of his unreleased beats he was working on. I ended up over their house for a party they were throwing and Pezzy immediately caught my eye. 

We talked for hours at that party and the next day, he added me on everything, including Discord, and we got to chatting. A lot.

“And now the next thing I know, I'm like

Manifest that you're oversized

I digress, got me scrollin' like

Out of breath, got me goin' like”

I can’t lie, the second he followed me I did a little deep dive on his Instagram. This line reigns true to exactly how I felt seeing his posts for the first time. How adorable his smile was, how big that mirror is…

As I continue the vocals, I turn to the opening on the bed as the curtains open up to reveal me to the audience for the first time. I am greeted by the roars of screams of my fans.

“Who's the cute boy with the white jacket

And the thick accent? Like

Ooh (ah)”

My brain immediately goes to my love for Pezzy’s fashion sense. His countless jackets, my favorite being his varsity ones, were my inspiration. He always shows up and out when planning his outfits; simple but stylish.

“Maybe it's all in my head

But I bet we'd have really good bed chem”

My dancers (aka best friends) joined me on the bed on stage, pulling off their choreography seamlessly. I join them in the movements, feeling like I’m floating with adrenaline, being able to do the job I love, performing for the love of my life.

“How you pick me up, pull 'em down, turn me 'round, oh, it just makes sense

How you talk so sweet when you're doin' bad things”

One of my favorite lines, I make eye contact with Pezzy right in front of me, signaling a spark between us that is only getting stronger. I hold the contact with him for the next few lines as I get on all fours, seeing a slight smirk on his face.

“That's bed (bed) chem (chem)

How you're lookin' at me, yeah, I know what that means and I'm obsessed

Are you free next week? I bet we'd have really good-”

My girls come file next to and behind me getting ready for the next verse, a cheeky play on words that seems to be in everyone’s head. 

“Come ride on me, I mean, camaraderie

Said you're not in my time zone but you wanna be

Where art thou? Why not upon-eth me?

See it in my mind, let's fulfill the prophecy”

The teasing choreography only added to the screams of the audience. Hearing the audience sing my lyrics back to me was even more fulfilling, bringing a sense of joy and fun to humans that want to let loose and embrace our connection of love.

“Who's the cute guy with the wide, blue eyes

And the big bad mm? Like”

I twirl my hair around my finger, finding Pezzy again in the audience, looking for his bright eyes. Every one of our movements are calculated and I especially needed that calculated look to be right on him for this song.

“I know it sound a bit redundant”

I sing, as I drop it low, legs spread, eyes on him. The audience is quite hard to see in this lighting but I think you could see his jaw drop from across the arena. His jaw drop turned into his cheeky smile he does, his tongue caught in his teeth, as he shakes his head at me in disbelief.

But I bet we'd have really good bed chem”

My male dancers joined me on stage, about to take their respective  partners of my girl dancers for the rest of the song, producing their own pretend “bed chem” on stage.

“How you pick me up, pull 'em down, turn me 'round, oh, it just makes sense (just makes sense)

How you talk so sweet when you're doin' bad things

That's bed (bed) chem (oh, that's bed chem)

How you're lookin' at me, yeah, I know what that means and I'm obsessed (so obsessed)

Are you free next week? I bet we'd have really good (bed chem)”

I look around at my girls on the bed with the biggest smiles on their faces as we roll around the bed, hitting the sexiest poses we could think of, hitting each beat as I deliver my next lines.

“And I bet we'd both arrive at the same time (bed chem)

And I bet the thermostat's set at six-nine (bed chem)

And I bet it's even better than in my head (my, ooh)”

During the interlude of the song, we do a little choreography laying on the bed as the camera comes back above us. 

Pezzy gives a goofy salute to the boys as he gets over the barricade they were standing at. They all look at him like he was crazy, Grizzy trying to grab his shoulder but decides against it because he knows what he’s doing. Right?

The security guard escorts him to the side of the stage quickly so he can make his big cue. Girls are screaming as they see him being escorted, wondering what was going on. 

As I deliver the vocals for the last chorus, we come back to the audience as my girls slowly slink off the bed to go to their stage partners. 

I look out at the audience and make out the figures of the guys, minus one, knowing my plan is in action. At this point, Pezzy is backstage, holding the camera that will cast his perspective of me to my enamoured fans.

I am the last one on the bed, getting out of the straddle position I was in. I look in the side mirror and catch the eyes of Pezzy, waiting for his turn with the most evil smile I have ever seen on him. It was one of pride, mischief, and love in his smile and eyes. 

I smirk back, milking the situation we are in as much as I can. Looking at myself in the back mirror, I get on all fours and push my butt out to the audience which was met with screams from everyone.

Pezzy sneaks out from behind the set with his camera, making sure to get some good angles (as I told him to do) which are shown on the big screens.

“Oh shit!” As if it couldn’t get more distinct in voices, we could tell it was Droid and Grizzy screaming for us. Puffer just stood astounded that 1) Pezzy is doing this and 2) he’s doing it in front of thousands of people. 

He’s in front of thousands of people on the daily for streams, but this? Never would’ve seen it coming.

I mouth ‘Hi baby’ and wave to the camera between my vocalizations before the camera cuts out and the curtains close on the bed.

Only left with our silhouettes, I grab his face and give him a quick but big kiss before doing our rehearsed ending sequence.

I grab the fuzzy handcuffs from under one of the pillows and wave them in his face. He grabs them from my hand and pushes me down on the bed and spreads my legs and moves closer on his knees to me.

Too quickly, the silhouette fades and is replaced by a kiss print to save the rest to imagination.

We ran backstage since I have to go do a quick change for the next segment of the show but not before I planted a big kiss and hug on him.

“You were so incredible,” Pezzy says, bear hugging me. 

“Thank you, I really am so happy you did this, you make me so happy,” I say, holding his cheeks.

He kisses me on the forehead as he goes back with the security guard back to their spots in the audience. He was met back with aggressive head rubs and pats on the back for their buddy, ready for whatever more the show has to offer.

Indeed I do. /genuine

Because I keep thinking about the absolute bloody cowards at Steam who decided "We need to keewp owor Androiwd app limited to ownly voice chat and Steam Guawwd so that meany meany Goowgle won't get angwy at us."

Epic Games Store are the ones (besides arguably F-Droid) who actually made any actual effort on any of this.

I genuinely don't like Steam as a whole regardless of platform, in part because it has far too many games with the word "Sakura" in their titles (People who've browsed Steam or eShop know why that is a huge problem), not to mention GalGun and other irredeemable weeb stuff.

As such I much prefer to buy PC games on EGS if available, which has landed me in beefs with Ars Technica (whose posts on EGS are roughly as "neutral" as Gateway Pundit) and previously Vinesauce fans (Vinny insisted on playing the vastly inferior 30fps PS4 version of Bugsnax because he didn't want to make his fans angwwy by playing the 60fps EGS version).

Everyone say thank you fortnite

Smartphone sicherer machen

Bedrohungen erkennen und stoppen

Wir sollten es wissen und wir sollten auch etwas dagegen tun: Mindestens die Big5 (GAFAM = Google, Amazon, Facebook, Apple, Microsoft), auch Kriminelle und eventuell staatliche Stellen beobachten, was wir im Netz tun, stehlen unsere persönlichen Daten oder erpressen unsere Zustimmung dazu.

Viele Beispiele zeigen, dass es nicht nur um lästiges und unbequemes geht, sondern dass es um unsere Privatsphäre und (informationelle) Selbstbestimmung geht und in vielen Fällen Menschen vor den Trümmern ihrer Lebensgestaltung stehen nachdem sie durch fehlerhafte Algorithmen zu False Positives gemacht wurden. Denn wie soll man beweisen, dass man etwas nicht getan hat ... (Fatale Folgen fehlerhafter Algorithmen , Angreifer können Tastenanschläge einschleusen )

... wissen und tätig werden

Also, wenn wir das wissen, dass müssen wir überlegen, was dagegen zu tun ist. In beiden Fällen kann uns die App Rethink helfen. Die Quellen für das Open Source Programm gibt es für Android auf Github https://github.com/celzero/rethink-app.

Rethink für Android kann Aktivitäten von Apps überwachen und sperren, Zensur umgehen, Apps mit einer Firewall schützen und auch Werbung blocken. Zudem erstellt es Statistiken über Zugriffe. Es kann keine Deep Packet Inspektion, es arbeitet vor allem mit DNS (Domain Name Service). Rethink gibt es in F-Droid und im PlayStore und benötigt keine Root Rechte - aber Android ab Version 10. Zum Trace baut es ein telefoninternes VPN auf und läuft stabil und im Hintergrund, lesen wir auf Mastodon.

Im ersten Schritt wird man sich also damit ansehen, welche anderen Apps uns wie oft und wie lange bespritzeln und dann kann man dazu übergehen, diese oder jene zeitweise oder dauerhaft zu sperren. Man sieht dann recht schnell wie umfassend die Macht der Big5 inzwischen geworden ist und muss sich im einen oder anderen Fall sicher von der Sucht zu irgendeiner App trennen ...
