Dat Zwitserland is zeker goed bezig, ook al deze volgende grote stap om #Microsoft te dumpen:

@Gina@fosstodon.org @fdroidorg@floss.social definitively a step into the correct direction. That said, I would prefer that they offer the same service/product also as website or webapp so that we are not forced to decide between Apple and google but could move towards open source linux. That would make us independent from us tech companies.

@Gina@fosstodon.org @fdroidorg@floss.social I hope the German authorities are taking note of this too. So far, the only response you get is: ‘We only support the official stores,’ or something along those lines.

Saispa Suomeenkin. :(

Hope Finland would get this too...

@Gina@fosstodon.org @fdroidorg@floss.social does it mean they also ban forced id verification by gplay?

Otherwise many devs declares stopping publishing apps for android, and alt stores may simply dry out anyway

@Gina@fosstodon.org @fdroidorg@floss.social Unfortunatelly it is at the time when some crucial decisions make the usage of alternative app stores harder for ordinary users: keepandroidopen.org/en/

@Gina@fosstodon.org @fdroidorg@floss.social It makes sense that the government issued phones to government employees would be locked down to the government app library. That way only government-approved apps could easily be installed. The more I think about it, the more I think that more governments should do that!

@Gina@fosstodon.org @fdroidorg@floss.social Indeed nice! Also not surprised to see that Gerhard Andrey is the initiate. He is one of the few national politicians that deals with digital sovereignity.
