Google's Android Developer Verification program requires government ID, signing keys, and a fee for any developer who wants their software installable on Android. The EFF calls app gatekeeping "a pathway to censorship." over 67 organizations have signed an open letter opposing it. @keepandroidopen #KeepAndroidOpen https://keepandroidopen.org

Keep Android Open

Your phone is about to stop being yours. In September 2026, Google will block every Android app whose developer hasn't registered with them.

I watched the Louis Theroux documentary on the manosphere last night.

In a sane and rational society, these 'influencers' would be made to stay at least 100 yards away from any child.

If an adult is 'influencing' children to hate and victimise whole swathes of the human race, surely that's stochastic terrorism.

And their 'financial services' scams would make Donald Trump proud.

One day, a real rain will come...

Spain denies USA use certain bases for their Iran aggression, so Trump threatens to cut off *all trade with Spain*
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-03-03/trump-threatens-to-cut-off-trade-after-spain-denies-air-base-use

US their trade policy is just another tool of imperialist coercion and control.

That said, I wonder if that means that Spain will lose access to all the US-based Big Tech services and tools? Because it would seem to me as if that was the case.

And if that's the case… tech sovereignty becomes even more clear of a choice for EU. 🍿

On Linux forums I, a woman, would get ignored and disrespected. These days I ask my question, then switch to a fake account to give a completely wrong answer, then switch back again to thank them and praise their Linux knowledge. The experts show up right away. Sorted.

When the superwealthy and powerful warn, “the political and economic and diplomatic systems will come crashing down if we release all rhe unredacted Epstein files”, what they really mean is “I will lose my money, power, and reputation if the Epstein files are released.”

Release ALL the files.

George Washington would think little of Donald Trump and JD Vance's small-minded worldview.

“The bosom of America is open to receive not only the Opulent and respectable Stranger, but the oppressed and persecuted of all Nations And Religions..."
