We signed https://keepandroidopen.org/open-letter/ ! We strongly believe open ecosystems are of paramount importance for user freedom, and that is currently in danger for Android.

As a free software project we can’t stand silent; we voice our support with other projects, and invite more to join us.

An Open Letter to Google regarding Mandatory Developer Registration for Android App Distribution

Open Letter to Google Regarding Mandatory Developer Registration for Third-Party App Distribution

Doing some clearing out and found my old #ubuntu phone. Not updated since 2017! Add that to the todo list :)

95% of people are idiots.

I'm glad I'm in the other 15%.

Right outside my house this afternoon.

KDE supports the "Keep Android Open" campaign

#Google will cut off independent developers to #Android if they do not register with Google first. This will kill independent platforms like @fdroidorg and severely impede FLOSS devs from creating apps for Android.

Many KDE apps are deployed for Android: KDE Connect, Itinerary, Tokodon, and there's even a test version of Krita for Android.

KDE calls on Google to reverse course and @keepandroidopen.

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!

Keep Android Open

Advocating for Android as a free, open platform for everyone to build apps on.

Tomorrow will mark three years since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

A day that will forever live in infamy.

Today we’re hoisting the Ukrainian flag at our headquarters.

It is flying high and proud at the heart of Europe.

Where it belongs.
