I really like the backup function in #GrapheneOS based on #Seedvault. I know it doesn't work 100%, some apps don't support it etc. But in my case >90% of apps get backed up and restored.
This is what all Androids should have. I understand #Google doesn't want to do it because for them #Android is just a gateway to their services and when you have all your data in their cloud, you don't need such backups. But other Android vendors should have it.

Yay I’m listening to my second favourite #WarMaster box set, “Killing Time” - i know that sounds like a backhanded compliment but #MasterOfCallous is practically a whole level to itself in excellence - my favourite aspect is the interplay with Calantha, but the guest appearances of Jo and Nyssa also work incredibly well. It doesn’t feel like the overplayed #BigFinish tactic of chucking random characters together.
I’ve said it before (I’ll definitely say it again) but I do love me the misery of the war master being a fiendish, machiavellan, magnificent bastard. #DoctorWho

Was looking forward to reading this article by @bemyeyes and, lo and behold, there is no heading markup for the title, no landmarks, no nothing to make it easy to get to the actual article. The first heading is some bottom menu thing and the only landmark is the navigation bar. Come on, guys. Your company literally exists to help with accessibility. Headings are as basic as it gets, at least for screenreader users.Do better.

📣 Make it public!
The call is getting louder for a public hearing of the appeal over the UK's order to break Apple encryption.
Alongside the joint letter from ORG, Big Brother Watch and Index on Censorship, UK MPs, US Congress Members and the BBC want the secrecy to end.

Civil liberties campaigners have joined US politicians and the BBC in saying Friday's hearing should not be secret.Tom Singleton (BBC News)
The message is clear across the political divide: let's hear it!
The UK government should argue in open court why they want to make us less secure by ordering a backdoor into Apple encryption.
A secret Tribunal would be an affront to the privacy and security issues at stake. It must be held in public.

📣 Break the silence: Save encryption!
The UK government wants to be able to access anything, anywhere, any time — from your pics to your docs.
It begins with Apple. Other services will be next. That's why we must take a stand NOW!

Great to be able to make @OpenForumEurope earlier this year. I couldn’t attend all the talks, so it is terrific that the videos are now available online.
