Hello, following last 25th-october Linux day in Turin (Italy), I made a presentation regarding LINEAGE OS, F-DROID and XMPP, in front of 60 peoples. Here is the 59-min registration of the show (in Italian).

I can share here the slides: LINUX DAY TORINO 2025 LINEAGE OS.pdf - Zaclys Nextcloud

In the pdf, you shall find the QR codes with the answers to these polls:
what is the brand of your phone?
what message client do you use?

Please let me know if the links arent working me to fix that.

Looking for your comments,

Living in a Dystopia

Many Android apps scan the list of apps installed on your phone to profile you.

Everyone knows all the apps on your phone - by peabee

This needs to stop.

Apps are checking for other apps to decide which part of which social strata you belong and treat you accordingly.

This underscores the need for FOSS apps.

. Google will require developer verification to install Android apps, including sideloading - #245 by vdbhb59 .

But yeah worth pointing out in TWIF to gain momentum on the foogle nonsense.
@marcprux see the linked comments I made and probably worth adding to your keepandroid and our fight against foogle, along with the pixel A16 stuff I sent last week.
