Do we need Google? no
Do we need Microsoft? no
Do we need Facebook? no
We had an Internet and Web life before them and it was great.
The whole situation with big techs today is totally artificial. It is a market incident. An historical singularity that won't last.

🚨 This is clearly pro-Big Techs. This is NOT the good direction for EU competitiveness and fair competition in tech.
Don't let the US big techs dictate EU regulation!

They are just seeking press and buzz, but they don't realize how bad press this is for us...

2025-11-21 13:26:57 UTC

I'd like to state *very clearly* that Murena and e Foundation are not related in case to this ridiculous and pseudo-drama.
What we seek is to totally ignore these guys, and have nothing to do with them.
And again, and again, despite what they are repeating, we are NOT competitors, as we are not in the hardened-security market spaces.

☁️The recent AWS outage showed how fragile “cloud-based security” can be.
When one datacenter faltered, global communication tools — including Signal — went dark 🌑
🕸️Matrix-based messaging systems kept running because they don’t rely on a single provider.
Resilience = decentralization
Let's invest in open, federated platforms.

/e/OS is not a security-hardened OS, we're focusing on Privacy improvements. But we still take security seriously, even doing some urgent OTA security updates: https://gitlab.e.foundation/e/os/releases/-/releases/v3.0.4-t
Not good timing for your lies @npub1kwa…e0nj

Once again Graphene is attacking /e/OS publicly with misleading or totally false claims.
That is so counter-productive and gives them a lot of discredit (but we know the problem is not Graphene, but his leader who is hiding behind various Graphene accounts and posts)

It's great that all the lawyers and several other business partners we are working with are transitioning to Murena smartphones with /e/OS.
This shift likely reflects a growing appreciation for privacy-focused technology and the unique features that Murena devices offer.

This is a toxic community lead by a super toxic guy who is into permanent destruction. We just want to have nothing to do with them. We have different product goals anyhow so no problem (we are not into any competition with them)

With the Mobifree project (mobifree.org), e Foundation [@e_mydata](https://mastodon.social/@e_mydata ) has raised 4.4M€ from the European Union to fuel Open Source projects accross the EU! 👊
This will help the development of more human FOSS software in the mobile area, like microG, DeltaChat, F-Droid, /e/OS...

ok... 😬
But the value is not in my post but in the judgment and injunction against Google, which is absolutely huge (if comfirmed)

2024-10-09 10:09:59 UTC

🚀 Huge news! A U.S. court ordered Google to open its Play Store to third-party app stores and alternative payments.
This could be a game-changer for privacy-focused platforms like /e/OS and Murena, boosting app options and digital freedom! 🌐🔓
What do you think? 🤔👇

Je sais bien tout ça. C'est d'ailleurs à moitié faux (les messages peuvent être chiffrés de bout en bout et les calls le sont par défaut).
Donc oui il y a sans doute plus secure pour ceux qui veulent avoir des activités criminelles, mais Telegram dérange, contrairement à Signal par exemple. Et la raison qui me semble la plus credible c'est qu'ils refusent de fournir les clés de déchiffrement pour le mainstream (que du coup seul TG est capable éventuellement de processer).

Following the EU' DMA application, Apple will soon offer iPhone and iPad EU users the opportunity to uninstall a number of default apps such as the App Store and Safari.
Now let's hope that Apple will allow this for non-EU users as well! 🤞
