The conversation with @josh and @matthew about @matrix on @FLOSS_Weekly was fascinating and for once I would have enjoyed more than an hour. Matthew's frustration with trying to explain to legislators why #ChatControl and #OnlineSafetyBill are so misguided was especially striking - I do hope @EUCommission listen.

We have been running an #FDroid-compatible repository since 2012! Since then, the free software ecosystem on Android has blossomed, meaning @fdroidorg can be properly strict about #FreeSoftware. A couple of our apps still have a couple #proprietary blobs that are requirements. F-Droid no longer includes any third party repos by default, that means our repo is no longer there by default. It is still easy and safe to add it! Read on for more info:

The future of our fdroid-compatible app repository
Guardian Project has been running its own fdroid-compatible app repository since 2012. Up until now, we worked to ensure that our repository had the same standards of free software as the official F-Droid repository.eighthave (https://guardianproject.info)
#ILoveFreeSoftware, you love #FreeSoftware. Let's get that down. Most of the time you don't even notice that you're using a device running a 
#Linux kernel, 
#GNUtils or services like 
#ApacheWebserver, 
#Matrix etc. as they just work and don't get in your way; don't bother you reading ancient 📜 #EULA; don't track you ...
But have you ever said thank you to all the 
contributors supporting the projects and sustaining #SoftwareFreedom?! If not, then today's your lucky day. 
Create a sharepic via @fsfe's sharepic.fsfe.org/#ilovefs tool and use the #ILoveFS hashtag to show your appreciation. Additionally, spend some time looking up the #Fediverse handle of your favorite projects and mentioned them.
Happy I 🧡 Free Software Day!
