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 and severely impede FLOSS devs from creating apps for Android.
Many KDE apps are deployed for Android: KDE Connect, Itinerary, Tokodon, and there's even a test version of Krita for Android.
KDE calls on Google to reverse course and @keepandroidopen.
"“It’s extremely hurtful, frankly,” said Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang...OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has concurred, lamenting pushback... “Looking at what’s possible, it does feel sort of surprisingly slow"
We're making the AI broligarchs sad, friends, but we can do better.
MOAR SADDNESS FOR SAM AND JENSEN

We have published an open letter to Google opposing the Android Developer Verification Program with over 30 organizations as signatories: https://keepandroidopen.org/open-letter/
In 2024, France counted 13,335 millionaires who paid ZERO income tax.
This is yet another example of why we need a UN Tax Convention to fix global tax rules and finally make the super-rich pay their fair share, so there is real money for public services, climate action, and a green transition, instead of more loopholes for extreme wealth.
No, I don’t want an AI assisted experience
I want clean air, forests, and a future for the next generation

Congrats to "THE REALITY ENGINEER" by Konstantin, an Honorable Mention, Internet Archive’s 2026 Public Domain Film Remix Contest 🏅
A comedic short about a scientist who attempts to improve human life by altering reality, only to find that each well-intentioned fix deepens the chaos.
