This Week in F-DroidTWIF curated on Friday, 26 Sep 2025, Week 39Community NewsWe often talk about what we look at when we choose our apps, we want: freedom, privacy, security, transparency and more. With FLOSS apps we get most of those, or at least we can check, fix and redistribute the apps that fit our wishes, from the technology perspective. We want the freedom that F-Droid provides to not only help us now, but set the stage for future generations well beyond our time.When you are a child other people would bare the responsibility of your well being, your freedom, privacy and security will be the subject of their judgment. Based on their own childhood experiences and technology knowledge, parents and guardians will vary a lot in how they treat the relation of children with technology. From laxed attitudes where they pass the smart device to a child as a new-age pacifier (only to be later surprised that said children appear easily distracted or inattentive) to helicopter parenting behavior where every minute of screen time is controlled and predetermined (wonder what happens when the shackles are gone?).From “The Privacy Dad” comes a post about teenagers and how they can and do manage their own time in front if the screens, when the parent teaches them about the good, the bad and the odd stuff technology can bring. The 10 minute post presents the point of view of the child themselves, acting even as a first hand review of the app used for parental controls (yes, from F-Droid).The site is full of interesting posts about the subject, feel free to roam.Godot Engine 4 was updated to 4.5.0.stable adding a lot of glitter and fun stuff for all your gaming dev life style.Jami was updated to 20250917-01.

It’s not like a bunch of Apple dollars you got by spending so much time on your phone, giving your data very freely and willingly to any place that asks, like whenever they say, “Are cookies okay?” you say, “Yes, yes, yes” because you think that’s how you get prizes, rewards, and Apple dollars.Memes aside, Apple Pay is a powerful service that Apple uses as a gatekeeper. The Taler team wrote a post about ecosystem users freedoms and monopolies not dogfooding their own rules when it comes to payment services.Removed Apps1 apps were removed Circles, Secure social sharing for friends and families, had its source archived a while ago.
