Von der Leyen must act or be humiliated.
My piece in @euractiv

๐Ÿšจ Google is killing Android freedom.

Starting 2027, unverified apps canโ€™t be side-loaded.

โžก๏ธ F-Droid harder to install
โžก๏ธ Custom APKs blocked
โžก๏ธ Google decides what runs on YOUR phone

Googleโ€™s Android is becoming Apple: Your device, their rules.

Itโ€™s time to switch to open alternatives: Graphene, Calyx, Lineage. โœŠ

Meta AI, the honest spokesperson for #WhatsApp ๐Ÿคฃ
There are now three days left before Trump's deadline to Putin expires on Friday, and Trump will have to come up with a new excuse for doing nothing to help free Ukraine.
RSS never tracked you.
Email never throttled you.
Blogs never begged for dopamine.
The old web wasnโ€™t perfect.
But it was yours.

White supremacy is when Donald Trump bans 1600+ vetted Afghan refugees who helped the USA against the Taliban, but proudly accepts white Afrikaaner South Africans as refugees to the USA for no apparent reason except they're white.

Reminder that Trump is pro-apartheid & racist.

I learned so much from Rose on Twitter, back in the before times.

NASA celebrated this employee's story of resilience, then tried to scrub it from the internet. Then fired her.

"It feels like everything that I worked for has been taken down little by little."
