Sovereign Tech Agency’s Technology Lead @tarakiyee wird nächsten Montag auf dem "Public Money? Public Code!" Fachtag, veranstaltet von @fsfe in Essen sprechen!

Taras Vortrag erörtert, wie öffentliche Investitionen, wie die der Sovereign Tech Agency, in essenzielle FOSS-Infrastruktur dazu beitragen, Vendor Lock-ins durch offene Standards und Interoperabilität zu vermeiden – ein Problem für viele öffentliche Verwaltungen und KMU.

Time flies when you're busy building apps, but not all #FDroid contributors need to wrangle Python, escape YAML or restart Gitlab pipelines.

If you want to have a saying in the betterment of F-Droid, from the inside, you are welcomed to nominate yourself or somebody else you find worthy for a Board of Directors seat.

You have time until April 14th, so head to: f-droid.org/2025/03/30/board-o

It is important to understand that the personal data you give to a company becomes their "property". Even if a company that currently runs a service keeps the data private, it can be put up for sale. The new owners are then free to operate differently, especially when there is no GDPR like in the US.

@Erklaerbaer @fdroidorg It is up now. We wanted to give warning before adding it, so people were not surprised to see it pop as a featured app in F-Droid.

I can’t overstate how excited I am that @sovtechfund is investing in the core technology powering OpenStreetMap. Throughout my years in open source, OSM and its incredible global community of volunteers have always been close to me. It was one of the first profound examples of the power of openness and its impact on digital sovereignty and personal autonomy.

@Erklaerbaer @fdroidorg We specifically chose Firefox Klar over Firefox Focus because in Klar, the analytics are opt-in, while in Focus they are opt-out. Firefox Klar should show up by tomorrow.

We have just added Klar to our repository of apps. Firefox Klar is a browser with a unique approach to privacy: it is designed around the idea that the user does not want to keep any personal info around. It makes it really easy to just wipe everything and start from zero. In the past, Firefox Klar was included in @fdroidorg but it has become too hard to maintain the free fork that strips out the Google proprietary bits. Hopefully will make a build possible again.

We're starting to implement support for split APKs in . wants to gather as much data about its users as possible, so trying to hide info about language, country, device specs was not a design concern for them. It is central for us. We want the official client to leak as little data as possible to any server, be it ours, mirrors, or custom repos. We welcome input:

@knitter The core goal is to push Signal towards free software, and to make Signal available via channels that users already trust. The ideal outcome would be if Signal Foundation maintained Signal on @fdroidorg via reproducible builds.
