                Does this only 'download' over cell (not WiFi)? We have nonexistent service most days. Thoughts?

                  RE: mastodon.social/@lumiworx/1175

                  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.

                          🚨 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 or other 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"

                              It’s your weekly curation of the essential news in the Open Media Network and Open Social development communities with a focus on devastating big tech via Techno Anarchism.

                              As usual, we aim to provide actionable content you can use to destroy Techno Feudalism each week. It has the additional benefit of weakening authoritarianism.

                              IMHO, the best way to do that is to use tools from the Techno Anarchist Manifesto to build your own site(s) to participate in the Open Media Network. Then you should share it (them) via Real Simple Syndication (RSS), Open Social, and possibly a newsletter or podcast. This approach is similar to what some call the IndieWeb and its POSSE philosophy.

                              The second best strategy is to have accounts on open social and use the hell out of them. And do the same with a RSS feed reader.

                              The moment that we in the tech industry are going through bears similarity, in a bunch of very important ways, to what people went through during the First World War.

                              Looking at it like that, it’s not so hard to see the parallels with our situation. Our industry’s always had that optimistic attitude that’s willfully ignorant of any sign that it could ever be harmful, or that anything other than continuous forward progress could ever happen. (We are incapable of seeing evil for what it is.)

                              We find ourselves at the precipice before the break. There’s enough (techcunt induced) instability to see how things are going: things are breaking, vital things are ceasing to work, the bulk of the population hates what the industry is doing to them. The best are exhausted and isolated, while the worst are creating yet another vibe-coded pile of crap.

                              In such circumstances, at the very least, we have to acknowledge that fracture, obscenity and the shattering of the way we see the world is what we’re facing: it does no good for us to pretend that it is anything other than something that we simply can’t put into words or symbols.

                              We have no words for what LLMs are doing to our profession, nor for why we find them so viscerally unacceptable, but we know that they are, only to find that the words we have for that are inadequate to our experience.

                              We don’t know what would make sense of everything that’s happening to us now or if there’s even some sense to be had. But we need to remain open to the possibility that there could be, that with the right knowledge or the right perspective, we will be able to make some sense of this, and we can, one way or the other, move on with our lives. (That there may be a revelation coming.)

                              Developing a keen sense of patience is… an important discipline. A revelation may well come, and we can watch in hope for one. But it may tarry… Being able to wait without frustration and keep doing things while we’re waiting is important to stay sane…

                              Finally, in times like these, one of the best things we can do is witness and record it.

                              Personally, I find that strong doses of Taoism, Stoicism, and doing things for people you don’t know keep me sane and moving forward (albeit in a crooked line).

                              Ten years ago, I wrote about a problem that was already undermining the open web, that nobody was linking to anybody, and that the incentives were all moving in the wrong direction. Mainstreaming platforms had little reason to send people towards alternative sources, while grassroots projects were left struggling to build connections with each other. Even when people wanted to cooperate, there were plenty of reasons to avoid linking, sharing audiences or giving another project visibility.

                              The result was an increasingly fragmented web. Lots of websites, lots of content, lots of people doing useful work, but fewer if any meaningful connections between them. Ten years later, the technology has changed, the underlying problem has not gone away.

                              Permanent aside here (unfortunately)

                              This is a perpetual pet peeve because many people aren’t able to comprehend ⬇️:

                              • The Fediverse is for communities (private, semi-private, formal, informal, or otherwise)
                              • and the Atmosphere is for the masses (unwashed, washed, or otherwise).
                              • and corporate social media is for naive fools and intentional techcunts.

                              So, recognize their natures and don’t ask the two protocols to go against them. This is also why we have accounts on both platforms and use them differently.

                                        The Firefox APK is about 70MB - but 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?

                                          @404mediaco This is the part that should worry everyone who carries a phone across a border. The officers gave Samuel Tunick one reason for searching his device, an accusation designed to make anyone look away, while their own alert said something else entirely. When the stated reason for a search can simply be invented on the spot, consent and "routine inspection" stop meaning much. What he is charged with is not hiding a crime but refusing to hand over his private life, and the feature he allegedly used exists precisely for moments of coercion like this one. Where I live, people learn early that a phone can be taken at a checkpoint and turned against them, so it is sobering to watch the same logic being tested in a US court. I hope the judge sees this for what it is and suppresses the evidence.

                                                Une partie des applis bancaires ne fonctionnent pas sur GrapheneOS, /e/OS, Lineage, etc.

                                                Et c'est pas de la faute des OS alternatifs, ni la faute de Google (pas tout à fait, on verra plus bas).

                                                C'est de la faute des banques, qui font reposer leur système d'authentification sur le service de Google qui s'appelle "play integrity".

                                                Elles le font par commodité, parce qu'elles pourraient largement faire autrement.
                                                (Clé matérielle du device, fido2, liste d'OS autorisées).

                                                Rien ne les oblige à utiliser le système actuel, mais c'est plus simple à maintenir.
                                                "Google a dit que c'était sécurisée, on est ok, sinon on bloque".

                                                Sauf que Google ne dit Ok que pour les Android certifiés.
                                                Du coup les autres OS sont bloqués.

                                                Alors que pour certains, ils sont encore plus sécurisés que la version originale (exemple graphene).

                                                Alors on pourrait se plaindre de Google qui devrait authentifier d'autres OS sur play integrity.
                                                Mais on pourrait surtout avoir des banques européennes qui se bousculent un peu pour proposer autre chose.

                                                Car je connais un grand nombre de personnes qui voudraient se casser d'Android et qui le font pas à cause de l'appli bancaire.

                                                  IMHO, the best way to do that is to use tools from the Techno Anarchist Manifesto to build your own site(s) to participate in the Open Media Network. Then you should share it (them) via Real Simple Syndication (RSS), Open Social, and possibly a newsletter or podcast. This approach is similar to what some call the IndieWeb and its POSSE philosophy.

                                                  The second best strategy is to have accounts on open social and use the hell out of them. And do the same with a RSS feed reader.

Much like many of the boomers and generation X (what’s in a name) could not be bothered to think through the geopolitical and economic implications of letting the Americans build our digital world, a big part of the younger generations seems to have thrown in the digital towel, accepting their lives as digital serfs.

                                                  Corporate surveillance, techno feudalist tech sucks and people want to leave it. But, some people have trouble with selecting individual tools that work well together. LESS is our very opinionated selection of a coherent stack. We want to make it easy for you to tell big tech to sod off.

                                                  Our Manade project will pivot into supporting and promoting this decentralized democratic tech stack.

                                                  With the new focus we aim to reduce decision paralysis and KISS for end users of tech. We want to help you escape the increasingly fascist techshit we are all stuck with.

                                                  The name is obviously inspired by KISS, the philosophy that “less is more”, and the ideals of the country where we live, France. Long live liberty, equality, and solidarity.

                                                  Torvalds said he is not trying to push non-chatbot users out of the project. But there’s already so much slop code and so many slop procedures that his actions don’t match these words.

                                                  I suggest the social action: shame. Shame these people. Their actions are shameful. AI bros hate being shamed and they try to make rules against shaming — because shame works.

                                                  None of these people doing shameful things deserve a place in polite company. They should be shamed for their shameful choices.

                                                  • The Fediverse is for communities (private, semi-private, formal, informal, or otherwise)
                                                  • and the Atmosphere is for the masses (unwashed, washed, or otherwise).
                                                  • and corporate social media is for naive fools and intentional techcunts.

                                                  So, recognize their natures and don’t ask the two protocols to go against them. This is also why we have accounts on both platforms and use them differently.

                                                      Chaque semaine on prend un usage du numérique et on propose des alternatives aux GAFAM.

                                                      On a fait un live + une vidéo récap' pour comprendre GrapheneOS.

                                                      - Basé sur Android
                                                      - Sans les services Google
                                                      - Les magasins d'applications (F-Droid, Obtainium...)
                                                      - Le principe du Shelter avec le profil pro d'Android
                                                      - Les autres alternatives comme Murena /e/OS, LineageOS, etc.

Then you should share it (them) via Real Simple Syndication (RSS), Open Social, and possibly a newsletter or podcast. This approach is similar to what some call the IndieWeb and its POSSE philosophy.

                                                                  The second best strategy is to have accounts on open social and use the hell out of them. And do the same with a RSS feed reader.

                                                                  We publish TPF on Fridays so you can enjoy it over your weekend.

                                                                  This week marks the beginning of the earliest incarnation of this site, Symfony Station. It also began our cross-posting to Dev.to. That was five years ago when mass enshittification and AI menacingly loomed just over the horizon. The reason I had gone to web development bootcamp was that I knew they were coming and needed some skills to fight them.

                                                                  Personally, I’m in a better place now. But, unfortunately tech isn’t despite our efforts here. So, let’s kick it up a notch.

Its loss should not send everyone searching for the next single service to replace it.

                                                                  Start as you are, with what you have, while you still have time to do so.

Some apps separately have ways to export/import settings to local or cloud, but many don't. If we are talking about just one or two apps, it is not a big deal. But if you want to change out your app source or move your apps to a different profile, it is manually very tedious to have to reconfigure everything. I understand why it is. I'm just complaining. I want dot files.

Free open-source software is a big part of it, but just not buying the latest and most expensive model also helps.

But (as mentioned in another post), I just ignore the reboot until I'm ready. So just make sure that the automatic reboot setting is turned off.

                                                                                                      In times where it's trying to update in the late evenings, I usually ignore the reboot until sometime in the morning so I have full confidence that my morning alarm will go off.

                                                                                                      So far, I haven't really had a bad update on Stable channel.

                                                                                                                                Tunick’s attorneys confirmed GrapheneOS was running on his phone.

                                                                                                                                The software feature allows the device owner to set a passcode that deliberately wipes the contents of that device if entered instead of the user’s unlock passcode.

                                                                                                                                Tunick’s case also raises ongoing questions about what constitutional rights can be invoked at the border,

                                                                                                                                The motion said U.S. border authorities took Tunick into a secondary inspection at Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson airport as he returned from overseas on January 24, 2025,

                                                                                                                                Tunick’s attorneys accused the government of demanding access to his phone under the pretext of searching for child exploitation imagery,
                                                                                                                                but without providing evidence to justify its suspicion.
