CalyxOS<p>So there is a lack of accessibility to folks in the <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/GlobalSouth" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>GlobalSouth</span></a> in particular.

Paul Rohr<p>At the time, it was easy to just read Jack's essay as an explanation for why he'd chosen to make $1M <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/StartSmall" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>StartSmall</span></a> grants to four privacy-focused projects (Signal, Calyx, Tor, + GrapheneOS) in response to the <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/TwitterFiles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TwitterFiles</span></a> disclosure:</p><p><a href="https://startsmall.llc/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">startsmall.llc/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>Yet when I now compare his essay to bsky's proposed one-way dataflow (PDS --&gt; BGS --&gt; labeller --&gt; AppView/FeedGen --&gt; PDS), then a different question arises ...</p>
