Third party apps and app-stores are coming to iOS. Maybe one day users will actually own their smartphone.
Hot take: #ransomware developers are the most successful proponents of digital #privacy

Scroll a bit here to read arguments made by numerous editors:

F-droid is an open AppStore for Android.
It is awesome and allows anyone to develop and publish an App without permission from google.
Is something similar available for iOS?
Feature I would not use on Mastodon: direct messages. Administrators of the instance have access. How many regular Mastodon users realize this? Given the number of instances, all with different administrators, there’s no guarantee (ZERO) that they won’t be read.
When I was doing investigative journalism at uni, I pitched a story of #darkweb hitmen. My tutor (a highly respected journo) said there wasn’t enough in it for a meaty investigative feature.
Two #books, a load of articles, two #documentary appearances and countless #podcasts later, I’m glad I didn’t listen
A good story is a good story. Don't give up on it if the person you're pitching doesn't recognise it

@brodriguesco Yes, with ‘guix time-machine’ you can jump back to a whole software stack as it was defined in Guix at a given point in time.
Thanks to #SoftwareHeritage integration, you get an unequaled level of confidence that you can indeed recreate that environment, building from source if necessary (hmm that sounds like a marketing sentence but I do mean it’s the most reliable way to do that).
We've made air-gapped transactions with QR scan standard on #BlockstreamJade.

Good about the cyber-reslience act by nlnetlabs.
A lot of compliance work might be put on voluntary open-source developers which are often volunteers.
There is a real risk that some contributors will stop because they don't want to do compliance work or face any legal risk as a hobby.
This will not improve cyber resilience.
