My #fosdem learning today: #Linux on phones has made huge progress since I last checked.
The fact that non-techy people can buy Linux phones off the shelve that just work *and* are really slick devices is 馃ぉ馃ぉ
It's crucial for us to be ready as a community when #Google finally takes away #AOSP from us.

Earlier, in June 2025, we took part in the workshop organised by the Commission on #Google's #DMA compliance, where we raised issues related to #interoperability.
In particular, similar problems #FreeSoftware developers are facing with #Apple, like discretionary power to deny interoperability, the lack of transparency, and anti-competitive practices.
In the period of August-November 2025, the FSFE took part in a comprehensive study regarding #Google鈥檚 control over #interoperability in #AOSP.
In particular, the study focused on how the company's limiting access to critical interoperability can hinder Free Software projects.
The study was discussed in the @article19 #DMA Symposium and reviewed by the @EUCommission
A summary of the discussions conducted at the Symposium was later published at https://www.techpolicy.press/making-the-digital-markets-act-developer-friendly/
