@protonprivacy will lose all of if not most of there marketing material if this where to pass. It will also be a huge loss in privacy across the board.
With such a negative feedback and a rejection from all parties from left to right (this is rare in CH), that revision is unlikely to pass. Many CH organisations and companies are fighting against it, and Proton will leave Switzerland if it does somehow pass:
I definitely disagree with all of that. But how it makes sense, that I, as a local Internet Service Provider (in Czech republic), must do that - and VPN provider don't? It makes sense to allow anonymous access for all internet service providers - not only for VPN providers...

I’ve been a freelance software developer for over 15 years. My main interests lie in open standards and communication protocols, including instant messaging, email, and the fediverse. I’m the project lead for Conversations and Ltt.rs.
Could you please explain to me why Catima is marked as reproducible on verification.f-droid.org/packa…, despite you shipping a version you build and sign yourself to users? I also don't see anything in the metadata on gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/-… listing what upstream APK file to compare against.
#IzzyOnDroid correctly compares the APK files I put on GitHub with a local build, which is what I hope you're doing too but given I see no reference to the APK in the metadata... are you?
Note: This release is not reproducible, see #1781 for more details.

The page text should make it clear: "Successful entries show builds that were reproduced based on the APK signature from the release on f-droid.org". We make no statement on the signer. As usual we welcome contributions for a better text.
That's definitely very misleading text. The term "APK Signature" makes no sense in this context.
You could say something like "The APK file built by F-Droid was verified" but... verified by who? Compared to what? If you just rebuild it twice yourself that is not a proof of RB (you didn't confirm your build matches what upstream claims should be the result or building the source code), that is determinism of your own build at best.
sorry, but I had to boost this again now. @fdroidorg can you please make optically clear which APKs you reproduced? Developers knock our doors wondering why we say their app is not RB, while you claim it is – and checking, EACH SINGLE TIME we find the app is NOT set up RB at your end, and the JSON at your verification server clearly states you verified YOUR OWN build. Yes, that might show your build is deterministic – but not that theirs is RB. It's confusing.
@IzzyOnDroid So @fdroidorg is just ensuring, that builds are deterministic if made in the same environment? You're right, that isn't really the definition of reproducible. 🧐 @SylvieLorxu
Say, Joe provides you with the APK of his FOSS app. You have to believe him he built it from his FOSS source code, but you have no proof.
Now Joe builds it 50 times resulting in the same APK – what does that prove? That his build was deterministic. Maybe, as you still can't tell if it really was built from there.
Comes Jane, not related to Joe, builds from his source, and gets the same APK. Now you now: (1/2)
(2/2) both must have used the same code. You no longer have to trust Joe for that. Now Jerry confirms as well… we can prolong the line. That is RB.
Now, you certainly can trust @fdroidorg builds from the right source. But if they then build again with the same result, what does it prove? Only that it's deterministic. If they however get the same APK as Joe, that again is RB. This is the case for apps set up as RB there, AFAIK ~15%; but how to tell them apart?
(3/2) Joe, Jane, Jerry, Jake: that's the line we build at #IzzyOnDroid. We run our "Janes" here to confirm "Joe's" builds – and we have "Jerrys" like Ben: independent builders. A builder is set up within 5 minutes thanks to codeberg.org/IzzyOnDroid/rbuil… – so everyone who wants can become a Jake.
@fdroidorg provides their verification builder setup as well, but that depends on the original builder providing the proof – so it only works with "source repos" like theirs and Guardian. Not independently.
(4/2) so you can use codeberg.org/IzzyOnDroid/rbtlo… to confirm builds from anywhere: F-Droid, IzzyOnDroid, just some random Android app at Codeberg, GitLab, Github or self-hosted Forgejo, Gitea, GitLab. And you can use F-Droid's verification builder to confirm their builds, and Guardian's – and from other F-Droid repos using fdroidserver to build from source.
@IzzyOnDroid Thanks for the clarification, that's about how I already understood it might work. Hopefully they can clear up the matter and provide real reproducible builds in the future. @fdroidorg
@Fettlaus oh, @fdroidorg DOES provide real reproducible builds, covering about 15% of their apps. The problem shown here is that, at the verification server visualization, you cannot tell those apart from the "just deterministic ones". Does a green checkmark mean the APK of the developer was confirmed RB – or just the one F-Droid built themselves? You can figure out manually by checking the app's YAML file to see if RB was set up. But that requires some technical knowledge.
@IzzyOnDroid I understand. That is indeed a bit misleading. But I imagine that this is easily fixable, they "just" have to add an indicator (e.g. yellow checkmark) for projects that don't have an upstream apk configured. @fdroidorg
@Fettlaus that. Or draw a border around the checkmarks when it was "not just the own build" – to symbolize the "higher level". Or use a double-checkmark, as e.g. Conversation uses: 1 check = sent successfully, 2 checks = sent and read.
There are ways. But you need to go them. Not doing it and just say nothing, makes it look like you really want to pretend the higher numbers, for some reason.

Z mé zkušenosti, když jsem si dal do datovky mobilní telefonní číslo, začali mi téměř hned chodit SMS s nabídkami od Marionnaud, takže jsem telefon u datovky obratem vymazal 🤷🏻♂️. Naštěstí zůstalo jen u jednoho SMS spamera 😕.
V každé SMS mají sice: Odhlasit: info@marionnaud.cz ale nechtěl jsem jim posílat i svuj e-mail 🤔. Ale teď koukám, že od loňského srpna to změnili na: Pro odhlaseni volejte: 800100968 😳😊😁, tak možná zavolám, telefon už stejně maji 😬. @cynik_obecny

Maybe vulnerabilities should be handled as bets. The reporter puts as much money in the pot as he thinks it is worth it. If the report isn't handled, he gets his money back. If the report is handled and considered valid, they get it back double. If the report is handled but considered bullshit, the money is kept as compensation for wasted time.

#eurovision #esc actually I don't find it implausible that given the salience of this issue, and that a lot of anti Israel people were boycotting, that more voters favoured that country than any one of the other 15. This is why many real democracies have run offs, in a run off between 2 parties, Austria (or anyone actually in Europe) would have beat Israel by a wide margin. theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2…
Exactly! I mean, okay, even if recognize that #Israel lead a massive social media campaign and encouraged people to vote for Yuval, it's not prohibited. there are questions whether it's good, honest and so on, but it is not against the law. The same as voting twenty times for one country is not against the law. Like, I could have voted 20 times for my favorite, #Portugal. Or, as a Ukrainian, I could vote 20 times for #Ukraine because I have a French number and I live in France. Is that honest? Well… I won't judge. I think laws still need to be changed, but it's only my opinion. #Eurovision #ESC #ESC2025

@DavidGoldfield Yes! Serotek resold Talking Typing Teacher as an add-on for the original FreedomBox software back in 2002-2004, so I got to work with it as part of that integration. I'm surprised it's still being sold, but if that page is accurate, it looks like they've even updated it for Windows 10.
@DavidGoldfield Back in the day, TTT had a very comprehensive solution for grabbing all keystrokes, on both Windows 9x and XP. I hope they've been able to keep that. I'm tempted to shell out for a copy just to find out how it has evolved technically in the past two decades.
@DavidGoldfield Does that thing still work? At a previous job, it was crashing in some of the upper lessons when we were trying to use it on Windows11.
It's what I used and I absolutely loved using it. Learned to type well in the better part of a year on that thing and reenforced the skill through many hours on it as a kid. Yes, it's still good.
