I urge all developers of #Android apps to NOT pre-emptively obey the new terms of #Google requiring you to sign up for the Android Developer Console.

It looks like Google is attempting a power grab and wants to prevent ALL installations of Android apps without official Google approval; even those installed outside Google Play.

This is an attack on both developer and user freedom and unacceptable.

This is absolutely awesome! The @leavex campaign now has their website up an running, so we can see exactly which members of the EU parliament still support Musk's disinformation platform X, and avoid voting for them.

I hope @leavex expands to add every national parliament — the disinformation has to end.

Se their excellent overview here:

Please boost this to support the campaign.

Bravo! Der Bayerische Digitalminister Dr. Fabian Mehring stellt sich gegen die Pläne der Landesregierung, einen neuen Milliardenvertrag mit Microsoft abzuschließen.

Während andere Landesregierungen wie Schleswig-Holstein oder Thüringen konsequent auf Open Source umstellen, um ihre digitale Souveränität zu stärken, legt sich „Bayern weiterhin selbst die Microsoft-Ketten an“ (Carolin Wagner, Bundestagsabgeordnete der SPD aus Regensburg).

Extremely cool concept from #Wero: use the #DMA to roll out a alternative contactless payment solution based on Wero instant SEPA transfers, with fallback to card payments for incompatible terminals.

An entirely independent, European payment solution.
