@beli3ver We plan to open source all of our applications, but before open sourcing each client, we are conducting a thorough third-party code audit. The audit for Android is still in progress at this time. iOS was prioritized because had received threat intelligence about a suspected Chinese malware targeting activists using iOS devices and we wanted to share potential countermeasures with the iOS developer community.
Today i have finally deleted and removed all google services and accounts associated with my business. As a long time recluse, who has lost touch with most friends and family through resistance to Facebook and social media, I now prepare to fade from Obscurity to “Complete and utter obscurity” #luddite-incoming
The world can go on without me, I’ll be over here amusing myself if anyone needs me. #i-don’t-want-to-play-so-I’m-packing-up-my-toys-and-going-back-home probably be whittlin
“Blah blah blah, blah blah blah, blah blah. San Francisco, CA”.
Uuhhp, there’s the problem.

If a mail from a user makes you angry, put it aside for a day or two, so you can calm down. Don't answer immediately out of anger, you'll probably feel sorry right after #codeofconduct

Backdoors into encrypted communications won't just be used by "good" governments. Authoritarian regimes will spy on dissidents, and say they're fighting terrorism. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2019/10/open-letter-governments-us-uk-and-australia-facebook-all-out-attack-encryption

It is one of the curiousities of the #fediverse, particularly #mastodon, that we tolerate (even encourage) #bots/botwriting, despite being quite intolerant on other issues. We have even spontaneously adopted an "it's okay if people can opt-out by adding the #nobots tag to their bio" justification.
Don't we rail about corporates who demand our privacy unless we follow obscure opt-out ceremonies?
Yes, the #Librem5 doesn't have have modern hardware, yes, it's expensive for now & yes, Purism has made missteps along the way, but I am still eagerly waiting for mine, because it's been 12 years since the original iPhone and I'd say that's enough of a head start for proprietary software. Once there's real hardware to target, free software will catch up quickly & that will make hardware OEMs consider it, springing up more compelling hardware, eventually, but for now we can't be very HW picky.
Even tech-savvy people can fall victim to spear phishing attacks. This cautionary tale by @RobJHeaton shows how creative hackers can be. The lesson here? Never click on a link from someone you don’t know unless you’re 100% sure it’s legitimate. https://robertheaton.com/2019/06/24/i-was-7-words-away-from-being-spear-phished/
