More than 70 organisations signed a letter saying NO!

#FDroid wrote posts on why NOT!

We've talked with you and your representatives, around the world.

We've made the #KeepAndroidOpen website to explain it.

If you read the #Android tech news, you saw it.

If you use a search engine, you found it.

If you've asked their own #Gemini, you got the summary.

But who didn't see, hear or read anything from above? Yes, #Google

I don't understand why there's not a single Wireguard client on F-Droid. I really don't want to start adding a bunch of random third party repositories.

Not even the official client is there? Why?

Ooo, a native #FOSS #Bookwyrm client for #Android!

My Supernote Nomad is an excellent offline e-ink note taking device. I want to have something similar for ebooks that's also privacy respecting.

I wish there was a GrapheneOS device that had an eInk display, I'd use that with a FOSS eBook reader and Calibre.

I like some of what Boox is putting out, but IDK how private it is. Any suggestions?

Zerion is live on Product Hunt today.

A messenger with no servers, no accounts, no phone number. Everything over Tor, post-quantum encryption on every message.

If you believe privacy should be the default, a quick upvote genuinely helps us reach more people who need this.

LastPass breached again. Today. Via a third-party supplier.

This is not a one-off. It’s the architecture. Every centralized service, password manager, messenger, or platform is a target because it holds data worth stealing.

SecurityWeek’s headline today: “Attackers are no longer breaking in ; they’re logging in.”

No account means nothing to log into.

GrapheneOS, the mobile Android OS geared towards security and privacy without consessions, is at Android 17. It is now in the beta channel, there will likely follow another build shortly that makes it to the stable channel.

The team did a fantastic job porting over so quickly and meticously.

I have been running the experimental releases on a Pixel 9 Pro and a Pixel 7 and it has been smooth sailing.

Three things today, June 23rd.

WhatsApp DMs are being used to deliver malware via fake documents, actively exploited right now. 24 billion credentials leaked from centralized platforms, accounts, passwords, identities. And the US government just signed an executive order requiring all federal agencies to complete post-quantum cryptography by 2031.

Zerion has no accounts to steal, no DMs from strangers, and post-quantum encryption on every message since day one.

Zerion 2.0.5 is live on Google Play.

A serverless messenger has a hard problem: no server holds your account, so how do you move to a new phone?

Zerion's answer: back up your whole account to an encrypted file (Argon2id + AES-256-GCM), or pass it straight to your new phone over Tor with a safety-number check. Only you ever hold the key.

No phone number. No metadata. Post-quantum encryption on every message, all over Tor.
