KeepAndroidOpen

FediLab just came out Swinging on one of my Androids. I opened it for the first time after a patch, the program flashed a warning

Android is becoming a closed platform

Then it points people to

Friend left behind on twitter Battlefield

This post of yours really hit home.

I have an internet friend who was Left behind on twitter because he wasn't ready to move (WTF why)

I've been congratulating him  on important anniversaries of his, through the internet for years like an Atomic Clock

It's the 4th or the 5th Year that I couldn't do it, because I refuse to re-open my Twitter accounts to see the battlefield, the horrific nukes of War, the destruction that Elon and his cohorts created.

I miss talking to him
He's a good man, a successful Bounty Hunter by Day, a great pappa at Night

SFC also signs open letter to Keep Android Open

Quote

Software Freedom Conservancy joins many other organizations in signing an open letter to Google asking that Android continue to allow people to install what they want on their phones. Recent policy changes within Google will restrict installation options by requiring developers to register their legal names, adding new gatekeeping that can arbitrarily deny app installation or delete existing apps from your phone. F-Droid has already written about the importance of this change. This invasion of privacy of developers is not just an overreach of Google's authority over Android, but also jeopardizes developer safety and restricts user freedom

https://sfconservancy.org/news/2026/feb/24/keep-android-open/

The more organizations join the better!

Individuals should also sign the letter!

Developer verification is an existential threat to free software distribution platforms like F-Droid as well as emergent commercial competitors to the Play Store. We are witnessing a groundswell of opposition to this attempt from both our user and developer communities, as well as the tech press and civil society groups, but public policymakers still need to be educated about the threat.

Google is not backing down

Android will be transformed into a closed platform worse than apple

Google lies about sideloading

Google’s message that “Sideloading is Not Going Away” is clear, concise, and false

It bears reminding that “sideload” is a made-up term. Putting software on your computer is simply called “installing”, regardless of whether that computer is in your pocket or on your desk

@nickbearded i really like the bootable nvme possibilities - gonna do that soon, may get another domain name. the nvme is just part of the productline but it is more scalable immediately, it just works but it leads into the clustering/portals/federated p2p/dist inference et al the new x870 amd has dual usb4 i believe #real men of genius #boot image #forensics-full #how bazaar #walled gardens

🍏🌳 Oh, the tragedy of being trapped in Apple's #walled #garden, where iPhones are like clingy exes who won't let you sideload apps without a fight! 🙄 This tale of woe reads like an emotional plea for freedom from a cult of shiny devices – warning, it might just kill your sense of tech independence. 😂🔐

#Whatsapp permetterà l'interoperabilità con altre piattaforme di #messaging

È anche questo un effetto del Digital Markets Act #DMA dell'#EU

È chiaro che un'operazione di questo tipo sia complessa (basta pensare alla gestione dell'#encryption), ma l'abbattimento dei #walled #garden e del predominio dei #gatekeeper è comunque un vantaggio per gli utenti

Sul tema #Wired ha un articolo fatto bene. Si trova qui: https://www.wired.com/story/whatsapp-interoperability-messaging/

That feeling when your phone won't install the latest update from its manufacturer, and they tell you to solve it by installing a program you don't use that's only available for operating systems you don't have...
