@MediaActivist @GrapheneOS This is a toxic community lead by a super toxic guy who is into permanent destruction. We just want to have nothing to do with them. We have different product goals anyhow so no problem (we are not into any competition with them)

@glynmoody Shame shame shame

Given the current context, I am afraid we have to become much more radical.

@ploum Ce n'est pas le comportement attendu, merci de rapporter ce bug avec des details sur notre gitlab ou sur community

Chromium as a whole could one day move out of Google entirely and into an independent foundation, and while that's not happening now, it's another step toward larger organization outside of the web's dominant browser and advertising provider.

Hello Mastodon, anyone knows where I could can find copies of the following Google agreements?

- Mobile application distribution agreements
- Android Compatibility Commitments (ACC)
- Revenue sharing agreements

? 🤔

Pavel Durov, Telegram @telegram Founder has been arrested in France. He is apparently being charged for not being able to take enough actions against criminal uses of Telegram.

The surprising part is why he took the risk to land in France while he knew he was under arrest warrant.

Without judging about the charges, this day is probably not good for freedom.
