@alsalahad and the Project Zero finding was communicated back in April, and either got rediscovered independently, leaked, or Bugzilla or a developer device got broken into. Ouch.

@Wetrix I've tried donating on Facebook, and I must say the UI for seeing your transactions is ... not great. So yeah. With PayPal and Visa now part of Libra too I might have to rethink how I actually pay for things. It depends on the level of integration

@Wetrix I don't take it in a bad way at all, don't worry! I work on infrastructure, not products, and we're probably not that typical anyway within the company.

@jonah two hours after the release! You rock!

Wow, when even #FinancialTimes post an anti #Libra article you know something is up.

@dazinism @jonah @privacytools @BurungHantu awesome, thanks! Meanwhile I'm checking out the KISS Launcher from @fdroidorg - damn, compared to this everything derived from the stock launcher is so sluggish.

@jonah @privacytools @BurungHantu as someone who cares both about privacy and about monopolies, Apple's vendor lock-in creeps me out too (though then again, with #Google increasingly enticing #Android developers to use Google Service Framework, maybe it's time I switch over to using @fdroidorg whenever possible.

Speaking of which, F-Droid, downloads seem slower from your app store than from Google Play, any way to help there? Chip in money for bandwith etc.

@jonah @privacytools @BurungHantu that's the ideal, yes, so privacy-friendly Android distros/forks (err what's the official term?) should be there too.

But it'd be nice to let people gradually secure themselves too. Some might not have the ability (technical or otherwise) to make a full-blown switch e.g. work-provided phone / phone too new / not tech-savvy

Dear @privacytools, @BurungHantu, @jonah - would it make sense for the site to have recommendations for replacing Android default components with privacy-friendly alternatives?

eg launchers, keyboards, search engine, weather app. Oh and navigation!

@greyor coming from a country where Islamic groups, both "moderate" and Islamists, as well as political parties have de facto militias, this does not trigger me (/s)

Ah, it's a PCA not a PCUSA church, no wonder. The evangelical right at it again.

@szbalint the stories about Facebook content moderators' plight seem to never end as well
