The #FDroid website has a new banner on top to remind visitors that #Google did not change course and #Android will be locked-down in under 200 days.

If you care about the freedom to control your devices and care about the privacy of you data, please contact your representative and make your voice heard.

https://keepandroidopen.org/ (thanks @marcprux) has the resources to guide you.

We know users will rarely visit the site so the Client(s) will get a banner soon too.

Thank you for your support!

I'm really trying to make sense of the new @mozillaofficial privacy policy.

Here's where I'm getting tripped up:

> Mozilla doesn’t sell data about you (in the way that most people think about ‘selling data’)

OK, sure. But if Moz isn't "selling my data in the way that most people think about selling data" then how *is* Moz selling my data?

Mozilla's new direction of Firefox is scary. They seem to forget that the core audience is using Firefox for privacy and security and not for AI features. It is so stupid that they are following big tech. It is time to fork out FF and sponsor the development using donations. No AI or anything else was added to the FF.

If you have an official website, you can use it to verify your Mastodon account as official too. It's easy to do, you basically just insert a special bit of code into your website's front page or header.

Here is a complete guide to how to do it, and the guide also includes a troubleshooting section in case it doesn't work:

This verification will also work on platforms that allow custom HTML or which support the rel=me standard for account links.

Fuck #Meta 

I've seen a lot of doomposting about the state of web etc. and while I kinda agree...

...the web is still open and we can change things.

especially: self-publishing.

nowadays, with social media turning worse, and platforms trying to become the one-size-fits-all-solution, undermining websites etc. it's the most important thing to go back and make your own websites.

you don't need to chase users, if you publish valuable info, the users will come to you.
