Here goes a minor rant after listening to the last few episodes of the IT-security podcast by @karlemilnikka

Writing this in English even though the podcast is in Swedish, as the issues are really not specific to Sweden.

A question to @Mer__edith and @signalapp : when will Signal Desktop be available for aarch64 (arm64) CPUs so that it becomes straightforward to install on devices such as and ?

If that is not happening, then why, what is stopping you?

The (wrong and silly) assumption that everyone must use Google/Apple phones is expected from Big Tech these days but you are supposed to be among the good guys. Please help us be free from Google/Apple 🙂

Missa inte hackträffen imorgon lördag med Uppsala Linux User Group @ulug när @samuel från @konstellationen ska berätta om bland annat "plattformar, verktyg och sociala rum på nätet där det är användarna som har makten och inte företagen"!

So... there's a free software conference (#FOSSY [1]) in #pdx (Portland, OR) this year, and I was thinking of applying to have a table there where folks could bring (supported) devices they want to flash with #postmarketOS, or just to hang out and chat about pmOS or #linuxmobile.

Does this sound like a good idea?

"This war is brutal. This war is disproportionate. This war is without precaution.

It also demonstrates the flagrant disregard of the ruling on the prevention of genocide from the International Court of Justice on 26 January and again two months later on 28 March."
