The logo of the "Keep Android Open" campaign is an Android robot dressed as Darth Vader. Across the top it says "I AM ALTERING THE DEAL" in all caps, and below the robot it says "Pray I don't alter it further". This is a reference to how Android acquired a massive catalog of apps be making access open to the platform back in the day, and Google assuring it would remain open, as opposed to the iOS platform which was (and still is) very restricted. And, of course, Star Wars.

KDE supports the "Keep Android Open" campaign

#Google will cut off independent developers to #Android if they do not register with Google first. This will kill independent platforms like @fdroidorg.bsky.social and severely impede FLOSS devs from creating apps for Android.

Wikidata's data powers amazing apps. I showcased a few of them at #Wikimania last week. Dive into what @wikidatacommunity.bsky.social makes possible in the slides here: commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wi...

#Wikidata

How Wikidata is Coding for Humanity Lydia Pintscher explains how this little-known project powers Wikipedia, AI tools, and civic tech around the globe.

I had a great conversation with @stephenharrison.com about how #Wikidata is quietly powering much of the digital infrastructure that we use every day. And the coolest part: you don't need to be a programmer to contribute. Small contributions can spread further than you might imagine.
