Making ourselves dependent on Big Tech has been a fatal mistake.
The Post Office scandal didn't come from nowhere. Outsourcing our systems to the exclusive product of a single provider means we're locked-in to using it and them.
This leads to over-charging that costs in failure and extracts value.

Hey y'all
The #XeroLinux Package Manager is ready for testing. I removed hard dependency on our Distro making it work on any Arch-based Distro (with limitations).
Feel free to test and report any issues via Github. Will try my best.

🎉 50 Million Downloads — still can't believe it.
Honestly, I never imagined that the libraries I build in my spare time would reach this milestone. MahApps.Metro, gong-wpf-dragdrop, IconPacks, ControlzEx and all the others — they started as passion projects, and they still are.
Thank you to everyone who uses them, reports issues, sends PRs, or just drops a kind message. You're the reason I keep going. 🙏

Ab September 2026 müssen sich alle Android-App-Entwickler bei Google zentral registrieren, einen amtlichen Ausweis vorlegen und Signaturschlüssel einreichen. Apps nicht registrierter Entwickler werden auf allen zertifizierten Geräten weltweit blockiert. Dies gefährdet F-Droid, die Open-Source-Distribution und die Autonomie der Nutzer. @keepandroidopen
