RE: https://grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/116200110686604617 This is a hard problem of major importance to us all. In this heavily interconnected world your bad security choices compromise *my* security. If ever there was an issue needing governmental leadership, this is it. And handing the problem over to major commercial players to solve is definitely not the right answer!

@KimSJ Plaase keep government well away from GrapheneOS. The OSA is bad enough as it is.

@KimSJ as a former government employee who was honored to work for the public i am so conflicted about the role of government (and particularly my government, the warmonger). the US NIST was trusted worldwide for cryptographic standards, and with DUAL_EC_DRBG by the NSA we lost that trust. i hoped very much to work with the FTC—they demonstrated the government has real power. lina khan in particular is a rare genius who bent the law back into shape after decades of weakening. but we see now with the NSF (the science funding that powers the nation) it can all be lost in the blink of an eye.

@KimSJ The Nostr based app store called "Zapstore" has already solved this problem. Zapstore empowers developers to sign and release apps over the Nostr protocol without needing to get permission from any app store or from any governnent or any other entity. The Zapstore already has most of the useful F-Droid apps, and anyone can release more apps. Zapstore.dev
