Mastodawn

The mandatory developer registration Google is imposing on Android raises concerns for developers in sanctioned countries, anonymous open-source contributors, and anyone building privacy or security tools. Google has a documented history of complying with government demands to remove apps. @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.

Ich verstehe einfach nicht, wie Leute, die ständig von „Wirtschaft“ und „Wachstum“ reden, so standhaft ignorieren können, was GLOBAL wirklich wächst. Warum wollen Sie unbedingt auf fallende Kurven setzen? Ich verstehe es wirklich nicht. Es muss Ideologie sein.

I have said this before and I will say it again, it is time that taxpayers, who are the majority of regular folks in every country, should not pay a single penny to the likes of Microsoft. Taxpayer money should only go to FLOSS. Enough is enough with these big corporations. They have failed to protect user privacy and safety and obsessed with AI like teenagers.

#Melania wants you all to know that she never had anything to do with #Epstein, never been friends with him, never even met the guy. And hasn't even ever met Ghislaine Maxwell.

So please don't boost this photo, as that would make her sad.

⚠️ Important headsup if you are on the server mastodon.cloud:

Mastodon.cloud no longer seems to be moderated. Its admin account hasn't posted since Feb 2023, its code of conduct is blank and there are vile racists posting from there. The racists have been reported many times but their accounts are still active.

Because of this, other server admins are starting to block mastodon.cloud completely.

If you're on mastodon.cloud you might want to move to another server ASAP: https://fedi.tips/transferring-your-mastodon-account-to-another-server
