⚡ Meta’s toxic, profiling-based content feeds are affecting our lives and well-being – and today, @edri, @Freiheitsrechte, @bitsoffreedom, and Convocation Research + Design (CoRD Labs) filed a #DSA complaint against it.

Meta is violating the #DigitalServicesAct by making it hard for people to choose news feeds that are not based on #profiling.

We deserve to take back control over our own online experiences! ✊🏾

Very excited to have filed a formal complaint against #Facebook & #Instagram today under the #DigitalServicesAct.

Together with @bitsoffreedom, @Freiheitsrechte & Convocation Design+Research, @edri represents an Irish user and found that #Meta uses #DeceptiveDesign patterns to discourage people from choosing the #newsfeed that's not based on #profiling.

That newsfeeds option is a key requirement under the DSA and deceptive design is prohibited. So there you go.

Sovereign Tech Agency  

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.

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.

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.

The EU is paying a fortune for broken commercial software, criticizes Michiel Leenaars of the Dutch NLnet Foundation in an interview with netzpolitik.org. Together with his team, he supports open-source, free solutions — funded by the EU. But that could soon come to an end.

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:
