An "Epic fail" - as @eighthave put it (DMA Vox Populi Podcast https://youtu.be/gDpOVo7seOo?feature=shared )? We'll know more tomorrow... https://x.com/vidushi_law/status/2028844551008653740?s=61&t=0QugWjaCheLcBNLsuiPn3w
Remarkable initiative by @wavesblog and Isa Stasi to give technologists a channel to talk about #DMA!
Pressing issues related to app stores in environments dominated by #Apple and #Google were discussed in details by @eighthave and @marcprux.
Take some minutes to hear it, it's worthy.
@jdelacueva @EUCommission @marcel_kolaja had managed to get a EU Pilot Project funded to have these apps distributed outside of Google and Apple. I don't understand this process, so I don't know what this means, but apparently the EC declined to move forward with it. At this point, I can provide the technical tools and even the hosting for such a thing. I'd just need an organization to be the legal home. I can't handle legal liability of reviewing and redistributing apps without FOSS licenses
Actions speak louder than words.
I am unable to install EU Login app in my phone because I use LineageOS and not the Google Spy Android. Thus, I cannot use the double factor authentication, mandatory from the 25-02-2026 on unless I tell Google.
Stupid, no?
