I suspect it‘s only a matter of time until encrypted messengers and bitcoin wallets disappear from app stores.

I hope for push back on the policy front but I‘m not hopeful here. There are a growing number of boogymen to invoke, and there seems to be little to no political incentive with a lack of awareness and public discussion.

I suspect the only way to use Signal or wallet apps will be using open source mobile OSes and app stores. This is one area I‘d love to see more grants funding for.

Re PWAs … they are a nice short term backup to get your funds out in case of an app store ban of wallets. But they are not the answer longterm as they rely on trust of web servers and SSL CAs. nostr:note13m6sh5tggy6uk4gntnhfu6zkz45ekxq9c3qphw5pfurzy82j22gseu5lv4

I hope you‘re right

Where is Epsteins client list?

Android has Obtainium

Full agreement. I think we can assume that the terror from Brussels will lead to this. Donations for open source app stores are urgently needed.

Probably not necessarily a bad thing

You mean because it will drive open source OS use?

How about web apps?

You're not supposed to be storing Bitcoin in those in the first place.

Bevo, if you think this isn't happening everywhere, you're not paying attention.

True that

forget signal. backdoored and captured.

There are reproducible builds for Android. LineageOS can install these:

Don’t think so. They have things to hide. They need encryption themselves. It’s not going anywhere
