I always thought #Android would make the perfect #Plan9 / #9Front terminal, but the existing #Drawterm port won't install on modern Android anymore.
I have no Android dev experience, so I let an A(lgor)I(thm) loose on the problem. The result:
https://github.com/leukoplast1980/android_drawterm
A pre-release build is here:
https://github.com/leukoplast1980/android_drawterm/actions/runs/43631128449
I broke my 9Front install and haven't had time to reinstall it yet, so I can't test it myself rn. Any feedback is very welcome!

Passwort - der Podcast von heise security: Bunte Tüte für 4 Miliarden Euro: Binance, x.cpe, Kühlschränke & Co.

Diesmal geht es um einen #iOS- #Jailbreak, der sogar Updates und den Lockdown-Modus überlebt und um eine #Linux- #TCP-Lücke, die sich zur Remote Code Execution ausbauen lässt.

Außerdem erzählen die Hosts, wie eine präparierte Mailadresse Angreifern Zugriff auf die #GNU-Infrastruktur verschafft hat.

Richtig teuer wurde es bei #Binance: Dort haben Angreifer Kryptowährungen im Milliardenwert erbeutet.

Und wer dachte, der #Kühlschrank sei ein eher harmloses Haushaltsgerät, wird nach den jüngsten Angriffen auf #Supermärkte vielleicht anders darüber denken.

Dazu gibt es ein #Android-Botnetz mit 1,3 Millionen infizierten Geräten und ein paar kurze Neuigkeiten aus der Welt der Zertifikate.

On Android 12 and later, the only warning that an app read your clipboard is a brief toast. Researcher Toni Noble says an app that is open can trigger two of its own toasts right after the read so the warning never shows, and that the Android Security Team rated the issue Moderate and marked it Won't Fix. The post includes proof-of-concept code.

can you recommend a simple ebook reader app for #android-based #eink devices?

all i need is:

• browse my library at ~/Books
• open epub and pdf files
• remember reading position
• navigate page by page
• close a book and switch to another one

QUESTION

i get that @organicmaps started as an alternative to Garmin and other proprietary navigation maps. i get that forks like @CoMaps are still catering to the mostly car & transport audience.

but why is it that neither has the most basic subdivision of a country ―like the basic map of the 48 contiguous USA states i’ve included.

do i have to download 18 gigabytes of maps into a phone to get those subdivisions rendered; or am i missing something?

My Google Play developer account deletion nightmare

🧵 1/3

Lately, I've been trying to close my google developer account since #google will now stop making Android openly able to install apps (https://keepandroidopen.org #keepandroidopen @keepandroidopen ), and my dev account has all of my personal info registered on it.. But for some reason I can't delete the account unless all of my apps have 100 or less active devices as per google's terms of service (I had 1 free app with no inapp purchases). I delisted it a few years ago, and it was steadily decreasing but it was far from ideal yet. I did release the app on #fdroid though, to let users keep installing it even after it's off the #playstore !

Do you know what I had to do to close my account :

🕶️ A view of the in-game UI (v. 0.69.0, on my Linux PC), with my cat on the roof of a house in a charming little Japanese village near Tokyo, with single-family homes and flower-filled neighborhoods. 📚️ Komorebi is an adventure game in which the player takes on the role of a cat. The cat’s adventures take him through neighborhoods inspired by Japan, Turkey, France, and Brazil, where he completes story-driven missions in the streets and on rooftops, meets his neighbors (cats and dogs—which, by the way, leads to a few arcade-style battles), hunts mice... and doesn’t hesitate to get petted every now and then… the life of a cat, in short… The game features 11 beautiful neighborhoods, 6 cats, and is available in 9 languages.

Bought #Android app #mcpro24fps after testing (had balance left over from a gift card a relative got me years ago and I rarely buy apps)

Successfully got #Blackview BV6200 Pro ruggedised phone (plus BV7800 I use as my main device) recording 1080p #video at 25fps *and* as a bonus my old Sony Xperia XZ3 (which is about 8 years old) and even older Samsung T820 tablet.

*All* of these devices can produce decent 1080p video, I managed to lock the frame rate and they seem to be keeping audio sync.

Also was able to remove excessive soundprocessing on Blackview mic which is only good for speech (it mangles any other sounds)

They are all set up to auto upload with DropBox and I can see the files appear on my desktop and laptop.

I happen to have a literal box full of these older #Xiaomi / #Redmi mobiles in the office they are being decomissioned as the Android version is EOL and not considered safe for Cyberessentials, batteries are goosed on some (others have cracked screens), the field staff have trouble with them in low signal areas and they are generally slow and subpar with the app we use - but they still work.

So I have plenty of older #Android devices for experiments..

This is my thread on my experiments with #videomaking using various cheap #Android phones - feel free to use any tips from it if you are making guides for DIY media production

As I'm in Europe there was an extra stage with getting 25fps frame rate, but also in USA you will likely end up with variable frame rate video from mobile phones to a constant one and have to conform that to avoid strangeness/glitches with NLE software - I found various ways of doing it as well as a very good Android app (paid, but not too expensive as you can load it on multiple devices if they are on same Google account)

RE: https://mastodon.social/@lumiworx/117576733459464501

I find this post a bit misleading. Motorola has a partnership with Google to provide its own OS with Google Mobile Services, but it also has a separate partnership with GrapheneOS to offer GrapheneOS as an officially supported alternative to the device’s primary OS.

Text being quoted only applies to the Google Mobile Services option, not to GrapheneOS. The hardware and firmware themselves do not include AI to my knowledge.

Some people seem unable to grasp the distinction between software, firmware and hardware. Gemini AI is software, not something inherently built into the hardware or firmware. I’m running GrapheneOS on my Pixel 9a, and I don’t have any AI features on my device.

On peut aussi utiliser les modèles #Parakeet et #moonshine en anglais aussi.

Pour le français c'est le modèle Nemotron Multilingue-600 qui apparaît, il permet de faire de l'ASR mais nécessite un téléphone un peu plus puissant que les autres modèles de base.

🚨 #Google is collecting phone numbers /SIM from your phone by default now without asking for consent, here is how to disable it

I have a test phone with stock Android (and hence Google services) to test how the apps I develop behave there etc.

The other day I woke up with a notification in that phone, out of the blue Google was telling me they "verified my phone number" basically they stole/collected my phone number from my phone and sent it to their servers without any consent.

I know the trust bar is very low, but even then I didn't expect Google to do this.

Here is how you can disable the collecting of your phone numbers which is on by default:

Go to Settings -> Google -> All services -> Privacy & security -> Phone number verification. See attached screenshot.

Or even better: switch to #GrapheneOS #LineageOS or other #degoogled systems

Please boost and spread with your not-so-techie friends that might be using stock Google phones

EDIT: corrected typo: it is "all services" not "all devices"

#LineageOS : « La vie d’un appareil ne s'arrête pas forcément quand son constructeur stoppe les mises à jour »
Basée sur #Android 17, la version 24.0 de LineageOS est arrivée en environ quatre mois, contre six auparavant.

So setting up #Waydroid has gotten much easier than the first time I tinkered with it a couple of years ago. It's now included in #Debian backports so no third party installation scripts or repos or anything. You can just "apt install waydroid/trixie-backports", add a couple of firewall rules and then launch the graphical setup tool to get going. Aside from manually adding the firewall rules, it really was just as simple as installing the package and hitting the go button.

Hello les libristes 😁
Existe-t-il un équivalent open source des applications de gestion bancaire/financière/budget type Linxo/Bankin ?

Any #Android devs able to explain app file sizes to me?
The Firefox APK is about 70MB - but #GrapheneOS reports an install size of 447MB. Why?

I get that the browser cache will be large - and I can clear that in the app. But what's the 4GB of "User Data"? There's nothing in downloads.

Any suggestions, friends?

La vidéo de mon test /e/OS est sortie.
Voici ce que je retiens en sytnhèse :

1/ Murena Workspace

J'adore le fait qu'il y ait un écosystème Murena, avec tout ce dont on a besoin au quotidien.
Car quand on quitte Google ou Apple, on s'attend à retrouver le même périmètre ailleurs.
En tout cas pour le "grand public", je trouve ça super pratique.

2/ App lounge

C'est le magasin d'application disponible en natif.
On peut télécharger des apps commerciales et des apps open source au même endroit.
Si on veut filtrer les apps commerciales, on peut.
Si on veut connecter son compte Google, on peut (mais on peut aussi être anonyme).

Je trouve que le compromis est super intéressant.

3/ Advanced privacy

Je ne m'attendais pas à trouver un tel niveau de profondeur (et de praticité).
- Bloquage de la télémetrie
- Position GPS fictive
- IP masquée (avec tor)

Le tout filtrable par application.

Pas de menu compliqué, tout est clair et accessible.
(même quand on n'y connait rien).

4/ Compatibilité des smartphones

La liste de compatibilité des mobiles est très très longue.
Ce qui est super pratique quand on a déjà un smartphone et qu'on veut quitter Android.

5/ MicroG

Les apps commerciales qui s'appuient sur des services Google pour fonctionner, fonctionnent avec MicroG (emulation des services google sans télémetrie).

6/ /e/OS VS GrapheneOS

Je ne pense pas qu'il faille les opposer.
GrapheneOS sera plus poussé sur la sécurité, là ou /e/OS fait un compromis intelligent sur la praticité et la confidentialité.

7/ Conclusion

Si on a envie de sortir des Gafam, sans se prendre la tête à bidouiller, /e/OS est parfait.

8/ Ma vidéo review de /e/OS

A couple months ago I posted a clip of an app I made just for myself, and a bunch of you said “please release this.” So I did!

Cava Reader is an ebook + audiobook reader for Android. You load an EPUB and its audiobook, and it highlights each word as the narrator says it, karaoke style. The speech recognition runs on your phone, so it all works offline.

I made it because my brain wanders. When the words light up I never lose my place, and if I zone out for a second I just look back and the highlight is right there. (Same reason I always record my blog posts and post them next to the text. Friends with ADHD got me into that habit.)

also I made this video myself, and I’m way too proud of the little piano sync at the end lol

No account, no ads, your books never leave your device. There’s also a built-in library of 37 public domain classics you can read along with for free.

Reading and listening are free, read along on the classics is free, and read along on your own books is free for the first 4 hours. After that it’s a one-time $9.99 for the Full app. No subscription.

This is my first closed-source project and the first thing I’ve ever charged for. It’s the most effort I’ve ever put into anything, and it might be what finally stops me from dipping into my savings to keep Altbot running. If you do buy Full, thank you :)

Google Play, or APK / Obtainium: https://cavareader.app

Android only for now (sorry iOS folks, I don’t own a single Apple device to test on 😅 (for now… coming soon TM??))

A video of Cava Reader, a eBook+audiobook synced reader app. A phone screen appears on the right with large text on the left. Upbeat instrumental music plays throughout, with narration. The video opens with “Read or listen? Why choose?” The phone shows Pride and Prejudice with words highlighted one at a time as they’re read aloud. Next, “Read along. Every word, right on cue.” continues the highlighting. “Listen. Just the narration.” shows the book cover and an audio waveform. “Read. Just you and the words.” shows plain scrolling text. “37 classics. Yours, free. Read along included.” shows a scrolling grid of classic book covers. “Bring your own books. Your EPUB. Your audiobook. Together.” shows a book being added to the shelf. “Fullscreen. Nothing else. Just your book.” shows text filling the whole screen, as the phone frame fades out. “Your fonts. Your themes.” shows the reading screen switching between light, dark, and colored themes and different fonts, with each change cut on the beat of the piano in the music. The video ends on the Cava Reader logo with “Read, listen, or both at once. Free to start. Full: $9.99 once. Read along on your own books. cavareader.app.”

Currently reading about another petition to keep #Android open... don't get me wrong - I want a truly open platform as much as you do, but this ship has sailed a looong time ago.

Android may not be as locked down as the Apple ecosystem yet, but that doesn't make it good, either. Trying to get rid of something preinstalled or using a 3rd-party version of a core application is a fiddly mess that can and will break any time. Unlocking the boot loader or disabling Play services will likely prevent you from running the apps you need to function in everyday situations (banking, deliveries, transport, etc.).

Having 3rd-party APKs is not enough. We need legislation to enforce an unbundling of hardware and software, and we probably need legislation to guarantee access to digital services on the same conditions with or without an "app". We will not get this by asking Google kindly to do so.

PS: can anybody explain the forced unbundling that happened in the mainframe era and why it doesn't apply today?

RE: https://mastodon.xyz/@nextcloud/117359711364631730

if you cannot root an #android device, your most basic form of degoogling is to:

1. download a browser from the GApps store
- in settings, allow download & software installation
2. go to the f-droid.org site and download & install their app
3. if you registered the device to a google account, remove & delete it from all applicable settings (they keep changing them)
4. disable & clear cache all GApps, ESPECIALLY the store ―it acts as a beacon pinging google constantly.
5. go FLOSS & be merry

Google finally managed to publish Conversations 2.20.2 last night, after apparently very thoroughly reviewing it for 16 days.

The current version, which has been available on F-Droid for multiple days, is 2.20.3 😂

This is unacceptable. The Google Play app review process now regularly takes longer than a week. I understand that the pipeline is clogged with AI slop, but #Google needs to prioritize #Android apps that have been around for 12+ years and push updates only once a month.

On #Android, FileObserver bypasses the FUSE layer's per-app storage view, letting an unprivileged app watch another app's private folder. We show this against WhatsApp, revealing exactly when photos, videos, and files arrive or get deleted - we don't see the file's contents, but we definitely can get user behavior (incoming photo? oh immediately deleting it? :sus:).

Besoin d'aide avec le télephone portable de ma maman !

Il dit que le stockage est plein alors qu'en réalité pas du tout. Y'a genre 11Go censés être vides, impossible de trouver quoi que ce soit qui pourrait expliquer d'où viennent ces 11Go. Quoique que l'on enlève, le stockage est toujours plein. Du coup pas de photos, pas de màj d'applis, son portable est quasi bloqué.

Est-ce qu'il existe des outils qui permettraient d'arranger ça ? Évidemment c'est l'outil de nettoyage du portable qui dit que c'est plein et qui est incapable de nous dire d'où il trouve ces 11Go utilisés 😅
Et pas d'applis à télécharger vu que impossible actuellement.

so, this is a fork. if #Google is forking #Android without telling consumers the consequences of that fork, then they are lying about the openness of the operating system.

this enters FCC, Trade Commission and Consumer Protection Bureau territory if we had a functional government… but we now know why Google is part of the #MAGA conspiracy: they’ve dismantled all the agencies that would have kept them from privatizing all their FLOSS.

There are clearly many reasons why people are switching to Vivaldi. Interestingly, my little survey shows that the top reasons have more to do with our values than particular features.

The #1 reason (77%) is the fact that we do not have built in AI. #2 is that we do not build profiles on our users (67%). #3 is that we are made in Europe. #4 and #5 is that we do not build in Crypto currencies and the built in ad and tracker blocker.

We will continue to listen to our users. We have chosen a different path to our competitors and we continue to try to do the right thing.

Après une pause de près d'un an, CalyxOS est de retour. Pour ceux qui ne connaissent pas, et pour citer Wikipedia, il s'agit d'un système d'exploitation pour téléphones basé sur Android avec des logiciels majoritairement libres et open source. Il est produit par le Calyx Institute, une organisation américaine à but non lucratif, qui s'est fixé pour mission la confidentialité et la sécurité numérique pour tous. CalyxOS est une de ses activités principales. Pour la petite histoire, Nicholas Merrill, le fondateur, était auparavant propriétaire d'un petit fournisseur d'accès Internet. En 2004, il a contesté devant les tribunaux américains le régime des National Security Letters du Patriot Act, qui permettait notamment aux autorités d'obtenir certaines informations auprès d'entreprises. Cette procédure a duré environ dix ans et a contribué à influencer les règles concernant l'accès du FBI aux informations personnelles. Merrill a par la suite fondé le Calyx Institute en 2010.

• lien nᵒ 1 : L'annonce officielle
• lien nᵒ 2 : La page Wikipedia

La compatibilité de CalyxOS avec les services Google est assurée par microG, qui envoie beaucoup moins de données à Google que les Play Services de ce dernier. En pratique, la compatibilité logicielle est très bonne. Pour ce qui est du matériel, une bonne vingtaine de téléphones sont compatibles, dont beaucoup qui ne sont plus maintenus par leurs constructeurs, et qui peuvent donc avec une deuxième vie, par exemple le Pixel 5 de 2020, qu'on trouve facilement à 150€ d'occasion.

Le projet est comparable à LineageOS, à la différence que CalyxOS essaie de conserver les propriétés de sécurité d'un téléphone Android "officiel". Des applications comme Signal ou Tor sont mises en avant, et le bootloader est reverrouillé après installation, les mises à jour sont régulières et installables automatiquement, et elles sont signées et vérifiées. C'était d'ailleurs une des raison de la pause de près d'un an dans le projet: suite au départ de Nicholas Merrill et de Chirayu Desai, responsable technique de CalyxOS, les nouveaux responsables ont décidé:

• du changement des clefs et du processus de signature
• de la modernisation de l’infrastructure de développement
• de la stabilisation des cycles de publication des mises à jour
• de la révision et la mise à jour de la documentation d’utilisation et de développement, du wiki et des guides utilisateur

Cela a pris plus longtemps que prévu à l'origine. La traversée du désert est donc terminée et la nouvelle version (7.2.2.0) est disponible sur le site.

I use fingerprint login for the @1password app on my #Android phone. It usually works fine. Except when it doesn’t.

This morning when I attempted to auto-fill a login username in Vivaldi, 1Password’s login screen refused to display the fingerprint login prompt, and instead informed me, “You need to enter your account password before you can use your biometric unlock”. So I did that and it correctly auto-filled the username.

Y’all… Soviet history is crazy.

Today I learned that because literature was so heavily censored, people would illegally print banned texts by typing them on home typewriter machines and then distribute them.

AND THE COOL PART is that to try and stop them, the Soviet government had restricted production of typewriters, assigning each machine a unique serial number AND a specific signature of defects (tilted letters, lighter or heavier pressure letters, etc.), the government would store the keys for which typographical signature corresponded to which machine and whom it was sold to.

So what did the people do in response? Split typing a single text up across multiple people’s machines and shuffling pages; OR fixing up some letters by hand with a pen.

Crazy cool!!!!

The #Google #pixel experience (and #android in general) seems increasingly driven by corporate committee, raising prices while underdelivering on stuff users actually care about while aggressively pitching more and more paid services. eg, just think about all the stuff that Google Assistant could do without a Gemini subscription 10 years ago. 12 years ago the phones shipped with universal remote controls and FM radio without a subscription required for either.

Latest thoughts on mobile devices...

* Done with Android. Google has killed any cachet it had with their recent developer registration and side loading BS. I won't waste any more time on Android messing around with embedded stuff for my projects.

* iOS phone that I currently own (13) will be my last. Apple is just as bad as Google, will leave this platform also, even if for the last 4-5 years it was a sort of pseudo-privacy respecting mobile safe space. It was all BS and is about to get worse.

* I really haven't used phone apps beyond Firefox (and now Waterfox and Librewolf since Firefox turned) in the set 10 years or so. Won't miss anything from this perspective. I've never trusted the platforms with my payment systems so I won't miss "tap phone to pay" either. CarPlay/AAuto is convenient but a huge privacy leak.

* My next phone will be something that takes calls/sms and can create a hotspot and does effectively nothing else; a decent camera that doesn't have AI BS ruining the images would be nice. Device suggestions appreciated.

* I'll probably start researching small, flip convertible, touchscreen laptops that can act as a tablet and pair it with the phone. The device needs to be able to run Linux and/or BSD (of course). The older Lenovo Tab 11 I have now is serviceable in the meantime until I find a decent lightweight convertible.

* Would consider a Linux phone but I don't care enough about this segment to put up with being a beta/gamma tester. Also, lot of money for an uneven and potentially bad experience.

* If we consider new cars a mobile device <wat!?> then I'm done with them as well. So much so that I recently bought a 2000 Volvo S70 5spd for my wife as a winter beater. No mobile telemetry there - unlike my son's new Toyota GR86.

* While navigating all this, boycotting U.S. tech/manufacturers.

* There's no fun/joy in any of this stuff any more. #RantyMcRantFace

Pretty tall order. Makes the further case for throwing the phone into the crusher and migrating from "digital man" to "analog man" and fleeing into the woods/workshop. Ha.
