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:

Copyright law affects everything we do on the internet. So why do some lawmakers and powerful companies still think they can write new copyright law behind closed doors, with ordinary internet users on the outside? eff.org/deeplinks/2025/01/dont

We want to draw attention to one of the new Administration's Executive Orders that directly impacts the freedom tools that people around the world depend on to fight censorship, and protect their security and anonymity.

@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.

The Debian Publicity Team will no longer post on X/Twitter. We took this decision since we feel X doesn't reflect Debian shared values as stated in our social contract, code of conduct and diversity statement. X evolved into a place where people we care about don't feel safe. You are very much invited to follow us on bits.debian.org , on micronews.debian.org/ , or any media as listed on wiki.debian.org/Teams/Publicit #debian

@pettter We would much prefer if Signal Foundation made Signal available via its own fdroid-compatible repository, and would assist them in getting that setup. Since they have not, we want to ensure that F-Droid users have a trusted and resilient channel for getting initial installs and updates.

Meta tracks your activity across millions of websites and apps, regardless of whether you use its platforms, and profits from that data through targeted ads.

The court’s decision “would be front-and-center in any argument that Congress needs to impose a warrant requirement for these backdoor searches,” EFF’s Andrew Crocker told @theintercept. “That tends to be the kind of thing that Congress takes note of.” theintercept.com/2025/01/27/fb

These are the same APKs that Signal Foundation makes available for direct download. They include the ability to self-update, so even if Signal is no longer included in our repo, it has a built-in update channel.

We have launched a trial of shipping the official Signal releases in our F-Droid-compatible repository. We believe we can reliably ship them, using multiple layers of verification on top of the built-in APK signature Signal Foundation ships. This is the same setup that ships Tor Browser. We welcome feedback.

Michiel Leenaars (our director of strategy) speaks at #FOSDEM about Europe's ambition to increase its digital sovereignty in relation to the #NextGenerationInternet. Despite its contribution to tech sovereignty with over 1300 Free and Open technologies supported, so far #NGI is not in the EU's future plans. Michiel addresses the question: What should our new EU Commissioner for Tech Sovereignty be working on for the next 5 years from the the vantage point of NGI?
