[00:24:21] Does anyone know why https://f-droid.org/packages/org.wikipedia/ is marked as using non-free network services? [00:24:41] it was apparently changed in https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-/merge_requests/12056 but I can't find the reason why [03:27:42] legoktm: if you're still trying to figure it out, it may be worth asking in the #fdroid channel on OFTC [05:55:07] legoktm: I'll ask dmitry later today [05:57:18] We do use some google services within the app here and there for things like crash support but we have in the past excluded f-droid users from having to use them [10:24:16] Hi, Is it now possible to rename only local accounts in Wikimedia project wiki's? [10:30:46] MdsShakil: no, since all accounts attached to a single global account must have the same name [12:03:15] MdsShakil: I'm curious, why do you ask about local account renames? while it's not done in 99.99% of cases, very very rarely, local renames happen, but it's not something that should be needed unless very special cases. [12:04:40] urbanecm: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Steward_requests/Username_changes#Changing_username_back [12:05:52] I wanted to be reconfirmed before answering this question. ষ [12:11:20] MdsShakil: i see, thanks. that's a "merge accs" request, as you mentioned on-wiki (at this point, wikisource has Andrew1 and Andrew1~enwiki). One could (theoretically) unmerge Andrew1~enwiki and Andrew1 (both at enwiki) from CentralAuth, do a round-robin local rename (Andrew1~enwiki -> Andrew1, Andrew1->Andrew1~enwiki) and re-attach both accounts to CentralAuth (to the other global account than they were assigned to previously), [12:11:20] to concencrate the edits. However, both accounts would continue to exist. [12:12:43] It's not that complex, fortunately, but I'm not sure a) if it'd make them happy b) if it would be worth the effort. [16:47:12] Seddon: thanks, and yeah, that was what I thought too, which is why I was surprised to see the label [18:33:44] legoktm: isn't it for the same reasons as always? https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org/thread/3F567CIORFPPE565FO6LITI2C7UM3QKS/ [18:56:50] Nemo_bis: that was tracking, not non-free network services [19:04:10] legoktm: but the various "tracking" things which the app back then can also be considered https://f-droid.org/docs/Anti-Features/#NonFreeNet afaict [19:06:07] As I read the two categories there isn't really a distinction, other than who is (un)able to disable the tracking. In the case of "tracking" it's about the lack of a user-option to disable it, while in the case of "NonFreeNet" it's about the impossibility for the app builders to replace it (which usually also implies it's outright impossible for the user to do it) [19:08:20] Ok, it's about the crash reports as discussed back in 2015. https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-/issues/2106#note_1195533300 Now fdroid has disabled it so it's "only" considered NonFreeNet rather than Tracking?
