I'm glad that we're finally realizing that we need open source alternatives for the desktop and our apps, but can we also focus on mobile devices now?

It's ridiculous that we basically have two mobile 'options', both with restrictive, proprietary app stores (see also https://keepandroidopen.org/).

If Europe values digital sovereignty, then it needs to invest more in open hardware, open source OS's, and alternative app stores. 🇪🇺

Ppl here might want to cast an eye on Democratic:Tech:Fund #dtf
https://matrix.to/#/#democratictechfund:matrix.org
In that matrix space this room (jointly with Co-op Cloud Federation) seems to be the chattiest
https://matrix.to/#/#dtf2026:matrix.org

d:t:f is a pre-launch initiative aimed at cultivating capability in the grassroots, to resist Big Tech thro digital contra-infrastructure(ing) at community level. The Special Sauce will be a novel gift-funding recipe embracing foundations, municipalities and crowdfunding. This is not a pitch for EU 'digital sovereignty' budgets, per se.

Its not so much about new code, more about solid rollout of existing FLOSS. But the focus on the phone, and escaping the duopoly of phone OS, is very underdeveloped.

If this is interesting reply here, so we know to foster the connection? And join us in matrix. There will be a focus, too, at Dweb Camp👀
