Looking for somthing on android preferably something on fdroid.
That was such an awesome movie
Shaq’s best performance.
Audile should do the trick
I saw this: https://flathub.org/apps/io.github.seadve.Mousai
Haven’t tried it
I love FOSS but honestly why does this need to be FOSS?
Why does it need to be proprietary?
If they have nothing to hide, they have nothing to fear. Just publish the code.
They have nothing to hide but they have IP to protect to stay in business. What a ridiculous thing to say.
whatsapp doesn’t have the best app. It doesn’t look the best, it’s not the fastest. It was just very great back in the days. But not anymore. Whatsapp could easily publish the code. It’s not the client, it’s the server. They could even publish the server code. It’s not the code itself. It’s the people using it.
Cos id like to get my phone as close to pure foss as possible
It is an app that has access to both your microphone and the internet.
Becoss
Audile is on F-droid, though it uses AudD for the actual music recognition backend. I’m not sure it’s possible to have a FOSS backend for this kind of service.
If you ever feel limited by F-Droid, consider Obtainium. Supports F-Droid repos, and many others including straight from GitHub releases.
Note that the clients being FOSS is of little relevance because all they do is forward a recording to a blackbox proprietary service run by a for-profit company.
The code that has access to your audio and does the actual task at hand is not FOSS in the slightest.
Seconding Audile, it’s great
They’re free for now because the API they use is in beta… We don’t know if it’ll remain free.
It insists it need to send notifications for it to work. I get it needs the microphone, but it won’t work without notification permissions.
I don’t get this at all
Like most things in life theres no free cpu cycles. They all have a cost somehow
Free software can make money and be sustainable.
So someone is paying - theres allways a cost
Yes, exactly - The assumption that FOSS means that there is no financial support is practically archaic. I pay for any software that is useful to me, and many other people do too. There’s donations, perks, exclusive content that subsidizes the core work, there are grants, etc.
There’s Ambient Music Mod, “Port of Now Playing from Pixels to other Android devices”. It’s not the same, but it allows for your device to recognise popular music even while offline, possibly on a regular basis. It requires Shizuku, though.
Wow looks great doesnt seem to be on fdroid tho
