’s Open Source Lab has a shortfall of funding ($250k) that if they don’t raise, means the lab will be shutdown. Federal grants are a cluster right now and big donors might come through but in the interim, if you can donate or appeal to your company to donate, plz do! h/t @Mulderc osuosl.org/blog/osl-future/

          @fdroidorg I am the founder of @yaleprivacylab , where we have investigated and issues in apps since 2017. I can say without hesitation that this change makes Android users less safe.

          Android is based upon free and software () and that has always been defined by user choice. Blocking the capability to install apps directly from trusted sources outside Play is not a small tweak. It removes a core freedom...
