    Back after a five-day Internet blockade in Uganda. Currently, most social media sites are still being restricted, but it's nice that my preferred - the #fediverse #mastodon and #signal are unaffected!#uganda #UgandaBlackout #UgandaElections @netblocks @ooni @techwerkers @robloblaw @menos @signalapp

    Meredith Whittaker (@Mer__edith) has been invited to speak at #39C3 later today. If you make it to the mic in time, here is an interesting question for her: "If I’m put on a boycott list by the Trump regime because I’m openly anti-fascist or oppose war crimes, will you adhere to US laws and block my access to #Signal?"#DigitalSovereignty #DIDit

    Oh, this is so f***ing gold. This post is a juice concentrate of the many reasons why Matrix sucks:https://yaky.dev/2025-11-30-self-hosting-matrix/Among others:Users cannot be deletedThis is simply not an option in the API. Server admin can perform a "deactivate" (disable login) and "erase" (remove related data, which claims to be GDPR-compliant) on user accounts, but the accounts themselves stay on the server forever.LOL.Here is my take on why you should trash Matrix and use XMPP, or ta least Signal instead:https://gagliardoni.net/#im_battle_2025#im #matrix #jabber #xmpp #signal #privacy #security #enshittification #cypherpunk

    I wonder how the current Epic Games v. Google court case factors in the new sideloading policies Google is signaling intent to enforce.Requiring all Android developers to go through them, including paying a fee, sure sounds like something that fails to comply with this:> the app-store-distribution remedy forbids Google from banning "third-party Android app distribution platforms or stores through the Google Play Store,” so that the same platforms can access Android smartphone users who are currently accustomed to downloading all their apps through the Play Store.I suppose you could argue e.g. F-Droid is not itself available in the Play Store, but the news around sideloading sure seem like Google creating another way to circumvent the court decision's intention to, as it continues, "allow other app stores to compete in this two-sided market by letting them offer the apps and reach the users on the Play Store platform".With the latest news[1], Google's next move should be appealing to the Supreme Court, and given its latest decisions I am not optimistic about that.[1]: https://courthousenews.com/ninth-circuit-upholds-fortnite-makers-antitrust-win-over-google/#Android #FDroid #Google
