Piccadilly Circus, London.
Keir Starmer now demands state spyware on every mobile device, always watching the screen, scanning everything, looking for things the government disapproves of.

I'm also perplexed about the device blocking social media, email, etc. It feels like a restriction to your freedom, at least on paper, since they claim Android app compatibility, so how can they restrict you from installing a niche web browser from an APK? I'd also argue email is an important communication tool, even more than WhatsApp, but that's debatable.

The FAQ also says they only allow "AI" apps that aren't trained on copyrighted work, but I doubt their slop images are free of that.

Didn't know #Flatpak apps can have internal updaters interacting with Flatpak directly so that they can update without the need for a graphical store like Discover or touching the command line. Handling things in Discover or the command line is probably more intuitive, but it's neat that apps can do this rather than trying to do their own thing only and possibly messing up files and introducing conflicts.

KDE supports the "Keep Android Open" campaign

#Google will cut off independent developers to #Android if they do not register with Google first. This will kill independent platforms like @fdroidorg and severely impede FLOSS devs from creating apps for Android.

Many KDE apps are deployed for Android: KDE Connect, Itinerary, Tokodon, and there's even a test version of Krita for Android.

KDE calls on Google to reverse course and @keepandroidopen.
