F-Droid is just an unnecessary middle man between you and your developer. It's true.
GrapheneOS@GrapheneOS

A post from the developer of WireGuard on the severe security flaws and lack of trustworthiness of F-Droid: #note_1613430404" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroidd… This led to them including a self-update system which was openly implemented and documented. F-Droid was unaware they'd shipped it for half a year, and by then WireGuard had essentially escaped from in their words being held hostage by F-Droid. This was a rare case where an app used developer signing keys via their flawed reproducible builds system. Most don't.

Totally irrespective of the arrest, the amount of people still saying #Telegram is "private/secure" despite 1) saving messages to the cloud and 2) owning the keys to decrypt user messages at any time all ***by default*** is wild. #privacy

@secretsofprivac This is on brand, considering Facebook and Meta Ads are consistently exploited to peddle AI scams (which may or may not include dropping malware like infostealers on victim devices.)

@DigitalT90 I think vendors need to "clean up" the routers they are putting out, first.

A Basic Guide to Router and Wireless Security for Regular People Updated post. Pretty much boils down to not enabling features you don't use, setting a strong admin password, and keeping the thing updated. Also, ISP router = bad. #security #privacy avoidthehack.com/router-wireles…

US border agents must get warrant before cell phone searches, federal court rules This can still get appealed in appellate court. For a while, #CBP has been able to pretty much search your phone when seeking entry or re-entry at US borders. #privacy techcrunch.com/2024/07/29/us-…
