It seems that on Android you cannot set DND to a holiday calendar that is sourced by Google Calendar (!) Edit: not to mention setting it per app, as I **really** don't need notifications from fucking Linkedin, today, or before I go to bed.
Can automation software, as Tasker be allowed to do that?… No, fuck you.
Edit 2: of course it can be done with rooting. All the things to make Android less shitty are behind the “rootwall”. Edit 3: or behind a freemium app… #Google#Android#Tasker#LinkedIn
As #Android is becoming more and more locked down, trying to become #iOS, I see fewer and fewer reasons to use it. #Tasker (the best ever case for Android) getting nerfed over the years, #SyncThing canceling their official Android app due to Google's shenanigans regarding Play rules etc. Why use "spying af iOS" when I can use the original "a bit less spying iOS"? Please for the sake of humanity, can proper #Linux mobile become a viable thing already?
Procedures are the bread-and-butter of Platypush customizations. They allow you to specify some custom logic that can run within the application, either from structured requests or code snippets - both #Python and #YAML scripts are supported. They are akin to recipes in #IFTTT and tasks in #Tasker.
You can call them from an event hook when a certain condition is met, from a cronjob or an alarm, from stand-alone scripts, from other procedures, and so on.
This release improves the integration of procedures into the UI, turning them into entities that can be controlled from the entities panel - and, soon, embedded into custom dashboards.
It also introduces a new powerful procedure editor, which allows you to visually create your automation routines through an intuitive UI with drag-and-drop support (a big part of this release has been about getting drag-and-drop to work nicely on mobile too). The new UI supports nested if/for/while blocks, break/continue/return, setting context variables, variable name autocompletion, export to YAML (if you prefer to have your procedures stored in the configuration rather than the db), and more.
This UI has been inspired by the job done by Joao Dias on Tasker (I’ve always wanted to have a similarly powerful block-based UI to create custom routines also on desktop/server), and in part by IFTTT’s recipe editor.
Python procedures can also be easily managed through a new file editor component that allows you to precisely navigate to their definition.
This release also includes a new file browser component. You can now browse your files on the Platypush instance, create/edit/delete/upload/download them directly from the Platypush UI, even if you don’t have SSH access to the machine.
#askfedi Are there any working #MQTT integrations for #Android? Either the apps are old, broken, too busy pinging doubleclick instead of my broker. I wanted to integrate #Tasker, but it seems like a luxury now.
@kuketzblog ich kann jedem nur empfehlen außerhalb des eigenen WLAN ein VPN nach Hause aufzubauen und allen Verkehr da durch zu Tunneln. #fritzbox#wireguard
Das Ganze kann man gut mit #tasker automatisieren.
Allerdings ist das alles nichts für dein normalen Nutzer
Android Tasker routine to warn if home WiFi is not functioning correctly
Been experiencing a bit of an issue the last month with everything seemingly on and connected, but my Chromecast device would not connect across Wi-Fi today, and sometimes my wife says her phone is not connecting, and I’d have to reboot the home rou ...continues
Besides: with Android apps like #Tasker I get so much value from my otherwise not so smart phone.
For purely political and financial reasons, #Apple forbids to offer and run such applications in its #walledgarden and an Apple "owner" can't do nothing about this.
Furthermore, there are many stories where Apple used their total power to get companies out of the Apple market in a very dubious way. They're not the people you want to absolutely depend on.
If that #Tasker is what I think it is, I have a similar app that I use, #Macrodroid. I like it. Actually paid for the premium version. But I don't use it for call screening. Should I?
