Maybe for you the answer is "no". For other users the answer might be different. People who don't use Google play store/services lose nothing. People who use it get a additionally feature without losing anything too, as they use the services already anyway. And all this is Free Software, as we always promised. No compromises.

@Billie @benediktg @megfault @Nuntius
Nextcloud don't has such a dependency and as far as I can say, will never have. It is just a functionality which is only there if you use this services _and_ the Google Play Store anyway and even then in a as privacy respecting way as possible.

@Billie
The proxy is very stupid and only has:
1. a hash of "username+server url" to verify the target
2. the public key to verify the signature of the message
3. the google push token

You can read more about this in the related docs: https://github.com/nextcloud/notifications/blob/master/docs/push-v2.md (5/5)

@Billie
Also we have a stupid proxy in place , which authenticates towards google instead of your Nextcloud server to:

1. hiding your server from google
2. protects our developer cert (which is needed to authenticate at google and otherwise everyone could do this)
3. verifies that the Server is allowed to push to that device. (4/5)

@hoergen @heluecht das letzte mal als ich es mir angesehen hatte konnte "Known" das, habe aber keine Ahnung wie sie das technisch machen. https://withknown.com/ AFAIK können die likes, re-shares, und comments von Facebook und Twitter exportieren.

@jz I use offlineimap with a local dovecot simply because it gives me the freedom to connect any mail client to it to access my mails.

@antonlopez I found this. Maybe you can try the suggested Url to follow my blog: https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/issues/789#issuecomment-294293908

@antonlopez I can reproduce the error and just opened a bug report at the Friendica repository, though I'm not sure if this is a #Friendica bug, a #Mastodon bug or a setup issue on my instance. I will let you know when I know more.

Thanks to the awesome #Friendica community you can now follow my blog here https://soc.schiessle.org/profile/blog comment, reshare and like my blog posts and everything will be visible in my blog like for example here: https://www.schiessle.org/articles/2017/09/22/freie-software-auf-den-fellbacher-weltwochen/

@vinzv habt ihr euch eigentlich schonmal überlegt ähnlich wie Purism ein Hardware Schalter für Kamera und Mikrofon einzubauen? Das wäre für mich auf dem deutschen Markt nochmal ein echtes Killer-Feature.

@antonlopez no, there was no recording.

@benediktg5
I read it but I don't really like the idea because it is (1) again centralized and everyone need a "git-something" account and (2) it feels odd to use a issues for comments. For git I would rather prefer something like https://staticman.net/ if it would work with Gitlab. But for now I will explore the Friendica way because I consider a social network for comments more natural and it is nicely federated and works with Friendica, GNU Social, Mastodon, Diaspora.

Had a great audience at the "Fellbacher Weltwochen" discussing how Free Software can help to foster education and grow the local economy. Slides can be found here: https://www.schiessle.org/articles/2017/09/22/freie-software-auf-den-fellbacher-weltwochen/ (de)

@nextcloud @kev another way to contribute is of course to join our community at help.nextcloud.com to help other people.
