gm @privacysafe . Today is a good day πŸ€“

Amazing day for our team at @privacysafe ! While the world segments into disconnected camps, we are building a multi-polar strategy for #hardware that will run our apps and get them in the hands of people on every continent.

Sound interesting? Please be #social and reach out 😎

Hell Yeah we've got @privacysafe apps running on the #PinePhone #smartphone

Thanks @mikalai for the photos. We'll get more website-ready ones up soon but I had to share with our #social community!!!!!!111 πŸ₯³

🚨 Boosting this appropriate warning by @evangreer of @fightforthefuture.org (originally posted on @bsky.app ) . β€œDon’t bring your phone” isn’t always good advice at a #protest. In many cases, it’s the opposite. Your phone is a tool: for documentation, safety, communication. Let’s talk about how to use it wisely. πŸ§΅πŸ‘‡
A great event that could not have been more appropriate, or in a more appropriate location, with US academic freedom increasingly in the political crosshairs.
My main takeaway: defending free expression today requires more than just legal theory β€” it demands real-world strategies that respond to new and evolving threats.
As someone working at the intersection of digital rights, #privacy, and #cybersecurity, I found the conversations energizing and directly relevant to the work I do.
