#EU wants to ask app (and app store) developers about their interactions with app stores (specially of the very big kind) in the context of the Digital Services Act #DSA The study aims to better understand content moderation practices, recommender systems, advertising mechanisms, and emerging challenges within the app ecosystem.If you have 15-20 minutes to share your experience, make sure you visit the link until Tuesday May 27th, 2025.Go: https://ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/runner/c7161c9d-9db5-c881-5f50-7faab4af7387

@vwbusguy We encourage users to seek and use apps that allow backup/export & restore/import and avoid apps that keep their data prisoner.

Did you enjoy the last #EU #DSA survey? We heard you did not, so how about a new one? 😜 This one is all about the privacy and security concerns, content moderation practices, algorithmic influences, complaint mechanisms, and the regulatory environment of app stores, and stuff.Ready? Go: https://ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/runner/b26da086-b942-499d-9e99-bac3bf4fc3bc/PS: No that we'd want to sway your vote, but... at 36 if you say Yes then 37 opens 🎆

While we don't promote non-#FOSS apps, we can salute #Brave for setting up their own #FDroid repository for #BraveBrowser. @brave how about a fully FOSS browser in f-droid.org next? 😉 How to add? Follow: https://brave.com/blog/f-droid/

@Tejas @brave Keep in mind that the system Webview (the one that all apps that are not Firefox use to show views and web content) can only be Chromium based, so even if you root your device and replace it (or your custom Android distro does it) it's a matter of picking the poison.

The #EU #DMA compliance workshops exist to regulate gatekeepers powers, yet both #Apple and #Google treat them like "product launches" where non-engineers show slides and can never answer questions.The Android play-field, instead of taking steps to respect the DMA, Google shrinks what Android even is. If Apple can own its closed iOS, Google figured they can privatize Android?Maybe it being #FOSS for 17 years was just a glitch and now Android is out of the famous Google betas?1/2

"Hey Google, what is Android?"* "Android is... quarterly source-code over the wall called AOSP"* "Android is... not GMS or Play Integrity"* "Android is... not the device trees or driver binaries of Pixel phones"* "Android is... not part of the monthly security reports"And today, we discover, "Android is... not `system-images;android-36;default`" per https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/432143095The F in #FDroid stands for "freedom", but there's no "F" in Android... nor any promises.2/2

Hey https://framapiaf.org/@Framasoft we love your openness, but our fans can't actually answer the forms. We seek feed-back from everyone, specially from regions that need some sort of proxy or VPN to elude their own troubled networks. Can restrictions be laxed a bit?/PS: Tor is not a "geographic zone", at least be honest about blocking it outright. 🙄

"F-Droid, started in 2010, still building on the same CPU" would be our anti-planned obsolescence imaginary campaign motto 😄 Jokes aside, #FDroid can't ask you to star https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/438515318 (and have its priority raised) but we can't stop you either. 😉
