I've said it before and I'll say it again: the EU should reserve some serious money, fork Mozilla and make regulations that governmental websites need to work on their fork (and Big Tech gatekeeper websites as well).

This is one of the items to stay independent from Google's, Apple's and the US's whims.

(The other item is a mobile OS like @jolla's #SailfishOS.)

So, after about a month of slow and gradual changes to my phone ecosystem (and after accepting the quite unfortunate limitation of having to rely on my work phone for the national eID in Sweden: "BankID", due to missing NFC): I'm now ready to try out the actual switch from iPhone to #sailfishos #linuxPhone from #jolla as my 'main driver' phone.

Let's see how it goes! 😄

What an amazing year for Pixelfed and our other projects like https://loops.video and https://fedidb.com

I started this year as the solo dev, and now we have a team of designers, developers and project managers.

June will bring a fresh new experience to Pixelfed, a stable/self-hostable and newly federated Loops and early access to Sup for our Kickstarter backers.

This wouldn’t be possible without the support from our amazing community, so thank you ❤️

How Many Qubits Will It Take to Break Secure Public Key Cryptography Algorithms? - Slashdot

Wednesday Google security researchers published a preprint demonstrating that 2048-bit RSA encryption "could theoretically be broken by a quantum computer with 1 million noisy qubits running for one week," writes Google's security blog. "This is a 20-fold decrease in the number of qubits from our ...

The new @pixelfed webUI is amazing, and I didn't even mention the new photography features 👀

We'll be testing the beta on a pixelfed.social subdomain next week, and yes, you can too.

Unfortunately I’ve been unable to install the national e-ID on the phone due to a combination of lack of NFC on the #jolla phone - and a lack of what seems to be sufficient Bluetooth support for Android apps that are running on #sailfishos (based on the forums that I’ve found). Any suggestions on how to proceed here?

The national e-ID is kind of a basic requirement for a main driver phone here in Sweden.

Feels like tripping just before the finishing line!

All right, with my goal being to fully replace my iPhone with this #jolla #linuxphone I knew I would have to install some Android apps as well. So far it’s been a quite smooth journey, albeit quite some steps, since ”full” Android support is not the default.

Now I’ve successfully managed to install all my main communication apps: Protonmail & Signal; As well as local commute e-tickets: ”Skånetrafiken”; And music: Spotify

All good and work like a charm! Now to the real test: national e-id (BankId), mobile payments (Swish) and e-banking. So far everything seem to be working, but I’m not able to fully test without also setting up a new e-ID on the phone.

… and that requires NFC - something that #jolla does not have. I think I’ve found a workaround, but will have to try it out a bit later.

Overall, very promising!
