@micr0 I only just found out about it. That's great! Technological sovereignty is a worthy goal.

@EUCommission It wasn't mentioned in the toot, but there's a call for feedback, open until 30 September 2025. For details, click the link.

@eff Most of the listed features make it seem like a GrapheneOS wannabe. To which I reply: "look what they need to mimic a fraction of our power".

@noelreports "If you keep saying that we might attack Europe, we will attack Europe and put you in a Siberian gulag!"

Does he even think for a second before clicking "send"?

@GrapheneOS I agree with you that F-Droid is being silly, as that toast is not actionable and as you say, stock OS permission additions/splits will trigger it.

But I am surprised by how you handled it. You wrote a highly valuable technical comment on their GitLab, but for some reason added unrelated grievances to it and then copy-pasted it many times all over this GitLab issue. This is rude and unprofessional. Many projects would delete these comments and warn you, or even ban you.

@etam @madargon @davidrevoy Kill me plz.

@tomtrottel @noelreports It says "basic" training, so probably not. I'd expect it to be followed by specialized training for the soldier's particular role (like machine gunner). Likely the units where new soldiers join also train them a bit.

Still, the problem is quality of the training (which varies from really good to sub-par), and most importantly, amount of soldiers that can be trained. The latter is a bottleneck, which is why European countries are helping train more Ukrainian soldiers.

@TotalSonic @fdroidorg @brave @torproject You can allow screenshots in the settings.

@EUCommission Spying on communications on behest of a company selling sofware for "scanning" those comunications is not "safer Europe".

@TotalSonic @fdroidorg @brave @torproject IDK what you did, but for me, Tor Browser for Android shows Yes/Yes/Your browser has a nearly-unique fingerprint.

Most of the fingerprint data stems from the fact that Tor Browser is hiding info or providing placeholders, and from the fact that it's based on Firefox (which is very rare on Android). Still, the point of Tor Browser is to be indistinguishable from other users of Tor Browser, not from everyone else.

@desirable_dialogue @eighthave @fdroidorg
F-Droid doesn't allow proprietary dependencies and lists non-free servers as a misfeature. Graphene devs consider this silly or even bizarre.

In general, the criticism of F-Droid is valid from the viewpoint of maximum security. However not everyone's threat model is the same, and not all of the criticism is important for everyone. I can ignore the part about displayed permissions being misleading, for example.

2/2

@desirable_dialogue @eighthave @fdroidorg GrapheneOS focuses on security first and foremost. Meanwhile F-Droid approaches things from a Free Software (free as in freedom) mindset.

For F-Droid devs, installing an old and insecure game on an old and insecure smartphone is a valid use case. You should be free to do so. For Graphene devs, it's terrifying and should not be allowed by default.

@TotalSonic @fdroidorg @brave "Brave seems to be the only Android browser that strongly resists fingerprinting."

Let me introduce the Tor Browser. @torproject

@madargon @davidrevoy 50%‽ That's way more than I thought. I wonder what was the exact question that was asked?

@echo_pbreyer Please, just let it die. Politicians can spy on their own communications if they want to. Leave ours alone.
