This week in #FDroid (TWIF) is live, but boring. Yes, the cycles run and run, yes 9 new apps are now included, yes 138 more updated. But as things go, with unattended updates, it's all background noise.

What's special? It's the week of UI rewrites:
* #Auxio got #MaterialDesign
* #BadgeMagic is now #Flutter powered
* #Spotube is now #shadcn UI themed

Enjoy: f-droid.org/2025/03/13/twif.ht

I'm gonna list out my interests, and there's a ton of 'em. Classic autism move, getting obsessed with weird topics that stick with you forever.

Heads up, #Fediverse, you might lose it when I drop 100+ hashtags in one post. That's just how autism rolls I guess.

Yeah, I know it's a lot. But that's the beauty of an autistic brain I guess, we go deep on what fascinates us.

If you're running GrapheneOS and you want a FAST wireless way to get files onto your device, then try out Warpinator.

The apk is available on GitHub directly, or F-DROID.

github.com/slowscript/warpinat

For Linux, it's available as a Flatpak (if not on Linux Mint).

I use it a lot for pulling my map projects over for Q-Field, AND for copying my own legally purchased music collection for listening locally with Auxio!

I'm all in now. I decided to become a sponsor for this GitHub project because it's just so great.

Auxio works great as a standalone android app with music kept local on device.

So much thought went into making the UX useful, yet elegantly simple. Nothing feels out of place, and nothing is there as a gimmick. I could point out a few specifics in another post.

@hannesstein @jwildeboer Aim for a compromise: Use #Spotify to disover (some) new music, buy music on #Bandcamp fridays and physical media to support the artists. Even though I enjoy the convenience of streaming services I try to keep my favorite music stored free of DRM. Still using apps such as #Auxio on my #Android phone to play music. Setting up #Jellyfin on my new home is next, so I can stream all my stored music to any device.

I'm very much enjoying my upgraded iPod Classic now that I've fixed it (again!) but also want to give a shoutout to #Auxio.

I listen to music everywhere, including at the gym where I use my Android phone. At 4.7MB Auxio is the epitome of a small, useful, beautifully put-together FLOSS music app. Love it.
