If you want to see ECH in nginx sooner rather than later, please jump in and review, give feedback, thumbs up, etc.

@funkylab @fdroidorg we are always looking for qualified help running these secure servers, if you know anyone that might be interested. Also, donations of hosting, hardware and money are always appreciated. gitlab.com/fdroid/wiki/-/wikis

Oh dear, the Belgian government's #cybersecurity centre manages to write an entire page about the #EndOf10 without mentioning any other operating system than #Microsoft #Windows. Instead of telling people they might want switch to e.g. #Linux, they suggest to:

* pay Microsoft for #ESU, or
* buy a new computer. 😤

@fdroidorg helps a lot here, that is our long term plan. Then we do not have to trust the buildserver as much. The majority of apps on F-Droid can now be built reproducibly, but many important ones still cannot. So we still need the same setup with high security requirements.

@fdroidorg We have to put a lot of trust in a couple of systems: the signing server and the production buildserver. That is why they are not easy to upgrade. That provides key benefits down the line, like knowing that the client app will always receive uncompromised files, no matter where it downloads the files from (e.g. verification via the signed index). Thanks for your patience while we work in getting new hardware into our trusted setup. 1/2

Washington DC is always full of slightly surreal surprises. This time the US' only military was occupying its own capital for no apparent reason. Note the bored National Guard soldiers just leaning against their truck. There were a handful of these scattered around the city.

@rl_dane thank you for , this is still worth discussing! Is there some mechanism with that enforces which implementations are allowed to interoperate? If it is a standard protocol, it seems that should work just fine. Google's implementation is just an app, isn't it?

Europe has a unicorn obsession, and frankly it needs to stop. 🦄

The EU is pouring €43 billion through the CHIPS act into creating "European champions," but we're missing the bigger picture: why are we treating essential tech infrastructure as private property instead of public commons?

We need a different approach. One that serves public benefit over private extraction. Read my thoughts here: tarakiyee.com/the-hardware-inn

@agosto182 What are the unexpected errors? If that info was here, perhaps people could jump in to help fix it?

#Economics today resembles Catholic theology in medieval Europe: a rigid doctrine guarded by a modern priesthood who claim to possess the sole truth. Dissenters are shunned. Non-economists are told to “think like an economist” or not think at all… It’s indoctrination.’ on.ft.com/4o3TSGf

📣 Is "disable" the same as "uninstall"? We do not believe it. Google does.

Under the DMA, the FSFE with a coalition of civil-society organisations prompts the @EUCommission to open proceedings to investigate Alphabet's (#Google) regarding the uninstallation of pre-installed apps in Android.

Uninstalling is completely removing the app, not just disabling it! This is key for #DeviceNeutrality!

#SoftwareFreedom #DMA

It felt like kindergarten to do it but this week we @edri +others filed a complaint against #Google with the @EUCommission for breach of the #DigitalMarketsAct.

Despite the #DMA's clear obligation for #gatekeepers to allow you to uninstall pre-installed apps, #Alphabet claims this can also mean disabling. Yes seriously.

So we wrote a 7-page explanation why disable ≠ uninstall.

The complaint was filed together with @article19, @fsfe, @Freiheitsrechte, @HomoDigitalisGR and @vrijschrift 🙏

"Hey Google, what is Android?"

* "Android is... quarterly source-code over the wall called AOSP"
* "Android is... not GMS or Play Integrity"
* "Android is... not the device trees or driver binaries of Pixel phones"
* "Android is... not part of the monthly security reports"

And today, we discover, "Android is... not `system-images;android-36;default`" per issuetracker.google.com/issues

The F in #FDroid stands for "freedom", but there's no "F" in Android... nor any promises.

The #EU #DMA compliance workshops exist to regulate gatekeepers powers, yet both #Apple and #Google treat them like "product launches" where non-engineers show slides and can never answer questions.

The Android play-field, instead of taking steps to respect the DMA, Google shrinks what Android even is. If Apple can own its closed iOS, Google figured they can privatize Android?

Maybe it being #FOSS for 17 years was just a glitch and now Android is out of the famous Google betas?

Proud to be able to support the excellent #DSA complaint drafted by @aiforensics_org against the illegal use of personal data by #X to target people with #SurveillanceAds.

In case you missed it: Last week we released a new interview with Sovereign Tech Fellow @hugovk.

Hugo is a leading voice in the Python community. The projects he maintains are downloaded over 280 million times a month, including libraries used in NASA missions. The interview shows how Hugo's passion for contributions has developed into future-proofing the entire Python ecosystem.

Well my employer has decided to partner with Palantir, which means it's time for me to find a new job. I was a lot more willing to make 40% less than market rate when I knew my employer wasn't funding concentration camps because they want AI coding tools.

Anyway of you need a UX designer/researcher who knows his way around government regulations, healthcare, enterprise software I'm looking!
