We were busy last week!

In short:
- Our DNS entries were finally transferred to us as a legal entity: https://f-droid.org/2024/09/30/dns-security-and-bus-factor-improvements.html
- This week in #FDroid (TWIF) was published again with news about the next F-Droid client update with fixes for TetheredNet and many app news: https://f-droid.org/2024/10/03/twif.html
- And the website is now available in Czech: https://f-droid.org/cs/2024/10/04/czech-language.html

All the details are in the linked blog posts, so please feel free to read them ;)

@thisven We are exploring funding for litigation and lawyers, that is looking promising. Meetings like this require technical people to spend quality time reviewing documents and joining meetings. #FSFE @edri and other orgs like that do have lawyers and policy people, and are doing a good job engaging on these issues, especially given limited resources. If you're ready to donate now to support this specific work, I recommend giving money to FSFE and EDRi.

On my own time, I have to read a ~50 page document produced for the #EuropeanCommission in order to effectively participate in a two hour meeting where #FDroid is pitted against #BigTech on the #DigitalMarketsAct and its requirements around installing and allowing other #AppStore options.
Its all NDA'ed so I can't ask for help.
This game is really rigged for the megacorps. Wish me luck! Here's to fighting the good fight!

Looking to make a big impact? We are searching for a Grant Administrator to help us scale our operations. We are looking to fill the position in September 2024. Check out the job ad here: https://guardianproject.info/2024/08/05/seeking-part-time-grant-administrator/

"#FreeSoftware compete with big tech (gatekeepers) not in scale but in principle by providing to end-users curated solutions that respect their rights. #DMA is important for non-profit as well"

In short, it's a human-centered, ethical alternative, that champions privacy over profit and believes in collaboration, sustainability and inclusiveness.
