The EU currently has yet another public consultation (request for feedback and comments) open on its Digital Markets Act (DMA). The DMA is a law that is supposed to stop owners of big platforms (IE Google for Android, Microsoft for Windows etc) from abusing their power. Given Google’s latest proposal to require all apps to be registered by verified developers in order to be installed on certified Android devices, it would be great if as many people could respond as possible, pushing back against Google’s proposal and calling for the DMA to address it.

Here’s a link to this consultation.

We’ve also promoted another DMA consultation, last week, so it seems that these issues are looked upon from different angles too.

Food You - Calorie Tracker & Food Diary was updated to 3.0.0 and adds a lot of nice things like in-app search, food sources and history, ounces support and much more.

@shuvashish76 has good and bad news:

Exodus Privacy, long time partner of F-Droid in this journey, has posted news (in French) about their current situation and how you can help. They also have some sad news, as they announced the disappearance of Lovis IX, co-founder of Exodus Privacy and the current president of the association.

Syncthing-Fork, Wrapper for Syncthing - Open and decentralized file synchronization, brings Syncthing 2 on Android. The old app was renamed to Syncthing-Fork v1 (in Client and Website, your launcher icons will be confusing though) and in order to switch you need to backup in the old and import in the new app. Here’s the full guide. For users of the old archived app, the one not named “fork”, you’ll need to make this jump in two steps, from Syncthing to Fork v1 and then to the new app.
