Universities should strike any app mandates from their existing student commitments, and should pledge to not include them in future student commitments. https://act.eff.org/action/end-university-app-mandates
#Cuba's #ElPaqueteSemanal is well known for providing access to digital media where there is no Internet. It should also be recognized for a system with decentralized, built-in, human-powered curation. Thanks @SujathaTF for highlighting that.

Starting this week, I want to try something new in the #fdroid weekly meeting slot (Thursdays @ 11:30 UTC): I'll have "office hours" so anyone can come and ask any question, either via the regular chat channels, or realtime voice in https://meet.jit.si/fdroid

#NPR your "Data Protection Choices" screen is really disingenuous. The "Decline" button does not take you to the article even!

You should follow Distributed Denial of Secrets on here. They've been draconianly suspended from Twitter for publishing BlueLeaks, an 270gb archive of leaked police documents @ddosecrets

After months of work, we have a new stable release series! This series improves our guard selection algorithms, adds v3 onion balance support, improves the amount of code that can be disabled when running without relay support, and small bug fixes.

We'd quickly like to explain why we have to build the DDoS mitigation ourselves, how the progress is so far, and what you can expect as next steps. While improving anti DDoS measures, you'll be happy to know that we've also much reduced loading time. Thank you very much for your continuous support! 🙂

Still hosting data at a US firm and worried about the recent ECJ ruling that deems those incompatible with EU #privacy law? There is NO GRACE period! In a lawsuit you have to show you took timely action. Here's help from NOYB on what to do:

new in-depth analysis of #GoogleApple #ContactTracing apps: "[The #Google part]... seems to call home every ~20 minutes and shares the handset IMEI, SIM serial, phone number, email address and WiFi MAC address and lots of still-to-be-decoded data with Google. (Presumably more detailed app telemetry.)" https://www.scss.tcd.ie/Doug.Leith/pubs/contact_tracing_app_traffic.pdf
The governments and organizations that built their #COVID19 #ContactTracing apps on #Google/Apple Bluetooth tech are now waking up to the fact that Google requires sending them a constant stream of location data in order to use that API https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/20/technology/google-covid-tracker-app.html
@gradle now offers complete verification of all the artifacts it downloads and uses, as of v6.2. gradle-witness and others were always limited to a small subset. It is time to switch to the built-in verification: https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/dependency_verification.html
Proprietary software companies and anti-end-to-end-crypto politicians are working to shutdown #OpenTechFund, the #FreeSoftware org who funded #LetsEncrypt, #CertBot, #TorProject, #NoScript, TLS ESNI/ECH, #DNSPrivacy, #ReproducibleBuilds, #Wireguard, #DeltaChat, #OpenKeychain, #pypi, #GuardianProject, #Signal Please sign to help stop it: https://saveinternetfreedom.tech
Back in 2011, @eighthave and @n8fr8 had a crazy idea to turn #Android SQLite guts into a standalone wrapper for #SQLCipher, funded by #USGovt #InternetFreedom money. #Zetetic made it a well-engineered product. Latest user: German gov's Corona Warn App. Technical projects with high risk of failure, without paths to massive profits rarely get developed in the private sector. This project highlights mixing public grants and private enterprise to deliver security and privacy in essential software.
