European Parliament just decided that Chat Control 1.0 must stop (For now at least - the fight will continue) https://bsky.app/profile/tuta.com/post/3mhxkfowv322c

Good Idea: Get active against Chat control IMPORTANT IF YOU LIVE IN THE EU 🇪🇺 A NEW CHATCONTROL VOTE HAS BEEN FORCED FOR TOMORROW, meaning that if this law passes, we are going to see ACTUAL MASS AI SURVEILLANCE FOR MESSAGING eu-wide yes, this means that NOT ONLY the government could get access to EVERYTHING you say in private, BUT THAT E2E ENCRYPTION MIGHT BE PARTIALLY OR COMPLETELY OUTLAWED IN THE PROCESS, MEANING THE COMPLETE DEATH OF PRIVACY THANKFULLY, we have a weapon: breaking their balls and making them understand this will fuck up everything and THEY will FOREVER be responsible for it How do you do that? Easy Go here: https://fightchatcontrol.eu Find a politician in your country that is approving this surveillance law And either send them an e-mail at the address reported there OR !!! WAY BETTER, AND THIS IS WHAT I AM DOING MYSELF WITH GREAT SUCCESS https://www.europarl.europa.eu/ SEARCH THEIR PHONE NUMBER HERE AND CALL THEIR SECRETARY THESE NUMBERS ARE THE MOST UP TO DATE, THEY WORKED 85% OF THE TIME FOR ME you can make your own point to be passed to your rep, but the basic thing you have to say goes along the lines of: "Hello, I’m calling about the Chat Control vote.” “Please vote in favor of amendments 30 and 35.” "It does not work effectively, as criminals can easily evade detection while false positives mean 2 in 10 innocent people will be accused of crimes they did not commit" "State actors can exploit the backdoor you are opening to monitor private communications and spy on our industry secrets" “And vote against any mass scanning of private messages as that is mass surveillance.” 🙏 to our oddly motivational friends #privacy #chatcontrol #citizens #espionage #backdoor #masssurveillance #surveillance #thisisinsane https://ieji.de/@MinistryOfGoodIdeas/116294655968648977

Android's "Advanced Useflow" to install apps from outside of Play Store... https://chaos.social/@grote/116257002625921666 A manipulative corporate talk for "you're not allowed to have control of your device"

Dear Neo commmunity, today is Neo Collective's fourth anniversary, and a great time to reflect on the progress we made last year and announcing our new website. Last year we had the chance to re-stabilize our development process with Neo Store and Neo Backup receiving monthly and bi-monthly regular updates respectively, while Neo Launcher is finally on the way for the stable v1 and Neo Feed is being developed to be more of an independent RSS-feed reader rather than just a launcher-coupled feed. Neo Wellbeing is still in dormant development stage for now. Furthermore, we're working on Neo Learn a open-formatted local-first learning platform. More importantly, we'd like to announce our new website, where we'd post documentation and all related information on our projects and eventually blog posts when seen fitting. Currently it only includes a landing page for each of the projects. https://neoapplications.gitlab.io/ And as always, we're always open for people to join us. If you're a developer/maintainer of a FOSS project that fits with our principles and would like to cooperate with sustainability in mind, you're welcome to write us. A blog post on this will follow soon on the website. Cheers! Nick, Saul & Antonios

As you'll possibly see, in the latest release we have included an information banner to notify you of what's Google planning to do, making Android a closed system, under its full control: https://keepandroidopen.org/ You can help against this by contacting regulators, resisting as a developer to be part of this or just by spreading the word!
