MBCompass - FOSS Compass and Navigation App
https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1mlmiw5/mbcompass_foss_compass_and_navigation_app/

<!-- SC_OFF -->Hello everyone, I'm pleased to announce MBCompass, which is a modern, free, and open source Compass and Navigation app without Ads, IAP, or Tracking. That's support Compass and Navigation features with being lightweight and simple! I built MBCompass, not just another FOSS compass app; it bridges the gap between a compass and a full navigation app Features: Shows clear cardinal direction and magnetic azimuths. Displays magnetic strength in µT. Live GPS location tracking on OpenStreetMap. Sensor fusion for improved accuracy (accelerometer, magnetometer, gyroscope). Light and dark theme support is controlled via Settings. Keeps the screen on during navigation. Landscape orientation support. Built with Jetpack Compose and Material Design. No ads, no in-app purchases, no tracking. Runs on Android 5.0+ full list available on website Even with all these features, MBCompass was just 1.35MB APK size with no ads, no IAPs, and no trackers For more info: https://compassmb.github.io/MBCompass-site/ <!-- SC_ON --> submitted by /u/native-devs (https://www.reddit.com/user/native-devs)

Meta’s Project Ghostbusters HACKS MILLIONS OF PEOPLE: How Facebook Turned a “VPN” Into a Legalized Man-in-the-Middle Attack
https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1mlu746/metas_project_ghostbusters_hacks_millions_of/

<!-- SC_OFF -->Court documents just revealed something straight out of a cyber-thriller: Back in 2016, Facebook (now Meta) ran Project Ghostbusters — a scheme where they bought a “privacy” VPN service called Onavo, then used it to intercept and decrypt encrypted traffic from competing apps like Snapchat, YouTube, and Amazon. They literally had users install a root certificate so Meta could snoop on what they were doing inside other apps. This is the exact kind of man-in-the-middle attack that would get a regular person arrested under wiretapping and computer crime laws. But here’s the kicker: If you or I did this? FBI raid. Felony charges. Jail time. Meta does it? A few news articles, a court case that drags for years, and no executives in handcuffs. It’s a wild reminder that a VPN doesn’t magically make you “safe” — it just moves your trust from one potential snoop to another. <!-- SC_ON --> submitted by /u/Illphated336 (https://www.reddit.com/user/Illphated336)

[P] I accomplished 5000:1 compression by encoding meaning instead of data
https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1mm6t2s/p_i_accomplished_50001_compression_by_encoding/

<!-- SC_OFF -->I found a way to compress meaning (not data) that AI systems can decompress at ratios that should be impossible. Traditional compression: 10:1 maximum (Shannon's entropy limit)
Semantic compression: 5000:1 achieved (17,500:1 on some examples) I wrote up the full technical details, demo, and proof here (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1XCBMxiU1Rrsr0Itw-JU85B_LyxkVK4JU6R0AekOVTi8/edit?usp=drive_link) TL;DR: AI systems can expand semantic tokens into full implementations because they understand meaning, not just data patterns.

Rustroid - The Rust IDE that runs locally on your Android phone.
https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/1mmjt5i/rustroid_the_rust_ide_that_runs_locally_on_your/

<!-- SC_OFF -->Hello there. I'm Mohammed Khaled, and I'll just get straight to the point. I have just completed one of the biggest projects of my life. For about a year, I've been working on an IDE for Android (that runs on Android locally). By IDE, I truly mean an integrated development environment, one that offers features like syntax highlighting, auto-completion, diagnostics, signature help, go-to definition, declaration, implementation, show documentation, and more. Currently, it's for the Rust programming language. I chose Rust because it's consistently one of the most admired languages in the annual Stack Overflow surveys. A lot of the code in the IDE is shared, so it wouldn't be too difficult to adapt it for other languages in the future. The IDE does even allow the user to export APKs for graphical applications and games and also lets them run the app quickly without having to install it. The app actually uses a strange dynamic loading technique to load itself from the shared library it generates from your code. I've created a website for the app where I detail its features: https://rustroid.is-a.dev (https://rustroid.is-a.dev/) And I wrote about why and how I created the app in this article: https://rustroid.is-a.dev/story The application is available on Google Play.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mohammedkhc.ide.rust And yeah that's it. Disclaimer: The application is not open source and/or free, but it's super cheap. It's also on sale for three days for only $4.50. I explained why is that in detail in https://rustroid.is-a.dev/story#publishing-the-app For screenshots, check out the app on Google Play:
