Technology@lemmy.world•Fairphone Is Finally Selling Its Repairable Phone in the USEnglish
2·2 months agoThis is news to me, how were they hostile?
I would think they’d be happy if others also implement security features

5·2 months agoWhile that is true yes, their whole brand is built on being secure.
If they release to Fairphone it won’t be long before the news is flooded with “Police easily bypass supposedly secure GraphoneOS”
And that’s not a look they’d want.
I like their stance on All or Nothing.
Motorola is shipping with GraphineOS soon.

Linux@lemmy.ml•FSF on OnlyOffice/EuroOffice: You cannot use the GNU (A)GPL to take software freedom awayEnglish
2·6 months agoThey aren’t forking US tech because the US tech doesn’t pretend to be open source, so they can’t fork them.
The are building Euro-Office specifically to stop reliance on US tech though, it’s not targeted at once nation, it’s targeted at all nations that try to control tech. Which is mostly the US.
IDK what tangent you’re going on with the other things you’ve said, that’s off topic.
But yea India, like all nations, shouldn’t rely on foreign tech for infrastructure.

3·6 months agoI don’t think people are discriminating against Russians. They just recognize that we can’t depend on Russian tech.
Most people don’t have issues with Russians, Americans, Chinese etc.
But fuck all three those countries, and we should not rely on either of their tech, and cut out dependencies on their tech, especially in the government sector.

Russian isn’t a race, just like South-African isn’t a race.

181·6 months agoIf all they do is force OnlyOffice to no longer use the AGPL3 liscence (or remove those restrictions)
That would damage their brand permanently, they main reason people use OO is because the pretend to be FOSS.
Many of their customers would start looking for alternatives

Technology@lemmy.world•EU Commission bans top officials from using Signal groupsEnglish
7·6 months agoSounds like a decentralized encrypted messaging platform is needed.
And when you need the highest trust, you just need to make sure you and the people you are talking to are all on trusted servers.
so governments would use their own gov.eu server or something, and only communicate sensitive info to others on that network so the info never leaves that server
