aves

I checked on my phone. I don't have Google Photos so maybe I uninstalled it or the phone came without it. It's a Samsung so it has Samsung Gallery but I'm not logged in into a Samsung account. Photos are local. I installed Aves Gallery [1] and that's my main photo app. Backups are through Syncthing which of course is not a mass market app, but I'm a software developer and being able to use niche alternatives is one of our privileges.

Some other FOSS apps I use daily: Aegis - 2FA (https://github.com/beemdevelopment/Aegis) Breezy Weather - A very good looking weather app (https://github.com/breezy-weather/breezy-weather) OnlyOffice Documents - MS Office suite replacement (https://github.com/ONLYOFFICE/documents-app-android) Fossify Calendar (https://github.com/FossifyOrg/Calendar) Fossify Messages (https://github.com/FossifyOrg/Messages) Aves - Local gallery with great organization (https://github.com/deckerst/aves) Termux - Terminal emulator (https://github.com/termux/termux-app/) Unexpected Keyboard - A unique keyboard that pairs nicely with Termux (https://github.com/Julow/Unexpected-Keyboard) WG Tunnel - WireGuard client (https://github.com/wgtunnel/wgtunnel) These are all easily installed through Obtainium: https://obtainium.imranr.dev/

https://github.com/deckerst/aves/issues/1802 and google is surreptitiously flagging several of the top alternatives to their spyware bloatware on android, as a prelude to the change. this is clearly an action that can be easily attributed to incompetence, but is a thinly veiled way to ensure a flood of verified open source joining early on the ransom for signing whitelist.

i use aves[1] which has many features. especially useful if you travel and take pictures a lot. [1]: https://github.com/deckerst/aves

I love Aves, I switched to it from simple gallery https://github.com/deckerst/aves

For your information, your suggestion has been the solution https://github.com/deckerst/aves/pull/519

Your childish spamming [1] backfired so you went and edited it into an even more irrelevant nonsense? Impressive. [1] https://github.com/deckerst/aves/issues/517#issuecomment-142...

Here is the TOS: https://github.com/deckerst/aves/blob/main/assets/terms.md

FDroid can remove the app if they want, but it's annoying that folks decided to show up and harass the developer on his Github repo. https://github.com/deckerst/aves/issues/517

The author's position is that they are "not interested in this kind of issues"[1]. They aren't willing to do anything to address this at all. [1] https://github.com/deckerst/aves/issues/517#issuecomment-142...
