Etter å ha prøvd 8(!) forskjellige Linux-baserte operativsytemer, fant eg endelig en som fungerte uten problemer på dataen min (Linux Mint 22.2 💚)

🚨 Google is killing Android freedom.

Starting 2027, unverified apps can’t be side-loaded.

➡️ F-Droid harder to install
➡️ Custom APKs blocked
➡️ Google decides what runs on YOUR phone

Google’s Android is becoming Apple: Your device, their rules.

It’s time to switch to open alternatives: Graphene, Calyx, Lineage. ✊

Also the link to this app is not working 😋

Shops are following Google's and Facebook's example with their own tracking apps so we must say: "No, I'm not installing your app to order food!"

@mullvadnet Are the Oslo OpenVPN servers still under maintenance 😅
@protonmail Proton has already commented on the European Commissions legislative proposal called "Chat Control", and why this is a bad idea. If this proposal were ever to become an enforced law, how would this affect EU based Proton users?
@Tutanota How would the proposed "Chat Control" law, which the European Commission is currently working on, affect EU based Tutanota users?
