I'm here because I believe in software as a force for good in a not-so-good world. Most toots in English, with occasional gobs of German.

Last Notes npub1khs8aq3jsl8l8rq3whkhpumegsyw3gzr64gp9mnj43kzdnquzhcq388xzd tastyraspberry now that you've allowed a category of apps to work more seamlessly and securely on the dominating mobile OS, prevent the mobile OS from becoming a dictatorship where Google has the final say on who is allowed to make apps: @npub1ter…7hd9 And while we're at it, get rid of DRM and take @npub1fdr…lvhs up on his idea to make Europe the disenshittifying hub for the world's technology. @npub1ry0…c8st npub1khs8aq3jsl8l8rq3whkhpumegsyw3gzr64gp9mnj43kzdnquzhcq388xzd tastyraspberry Excuse me wtf? "We were thrilled to discover an impressively precise and technically accurate decision from the EU. [...] The report went down to details we only figured out by reading Android's source code ourselves." They anticipated Google would make people give up on their current voice assistant and mandated concurrent use of two different wake words? They even mandated sand boxing? You're telling me bureaucratic institutions can be competent and serve the people?! @npub1ry0…c8st npub1khs8aq3jsl8l8rq3whkhpumegsyw3gzr64gp9mnj43kzdnquzhcq388xzd tastyraspberry Hey @npub164g…k0lj, I heard the FP4 is getting software updates until 2028. I was wondering if you know whether the software updates will include an update to a modern kernel at some point? Looks like @npub1xwa…75q9 might not be able to support it for much longer, as the EoL 4.19 kernel may not be upgradable to Android 17. npub1khs8aq3jsl8l8rq3whkhpumegsyw3gzr64gp9mnj43kzdnquzhcq388xzd tastyraspberry Most other organizations (Wikipedia, Signal..) respond to FUD or backlash by making a blog post. This is then shared by the org a few times on their socials, and community members will of course also use it to counter FUD/backlash in the relevant threads. npub1khs8aq3jsl8l8rq3whkhpumegsyw3gzr64gp9mnj43kzdnquzhcq388xzd tastyraspberry > We're aware it results in /e/ and Murena doubling down on attacks. We're also aware that it results in their supporters doubling down on attacks. These will be addressed with additional posts. I.. don't know if attempting to fight fire with fire is a reasonable investment of the team's time. It's not your goal to find every instance of a false claim to debunk it, right? npub1khs8aq3jsl8l8rq3whkhpumegsyw3gzr64gp9mnj43kzdnquzhcq388xzd tastyraspberry It's great you're taking time to clear up factually incorrect claims, whether they're made out of maliciousness or naivety. Constructive community engagement is great! But please, for the love of god, this information only belongs A) in the threads where factually incorrect claims are being made and B) on your website in the FAQ section. I know it's not intuitive, but pushing conflict into everyone's face again and again makes your project seem *less* trustworthy, not more. npub1khs8aq3jsl8l8rq3whkhpumegsyw3gzr64gp9mnj43kzdnquzhcq388xzd tastyraspberry Thanks for the heads up. Some users are relying on OpenVPN for advanced censorship circumvention, see for example: https://mullvad.net/en/help/shadowsocks-android https://mullvad.net/en/help/shadowsocks-with-v2ray#using-android Would appreciate updated posts with instructions for Wireguard. npub1khs8aq3jsl8l8rq3whkhpumegsyw3gzr64gp9mnj43kzdnquzhcq388xzd tastyraspberry this is probably the best "enshittification crash course" I've seen so far. Would love an English version of this to share with friends! npub1khs8aq3jsl8l8rq3whkhpumegsyw3gzr64gp9mnj43kzdnquzhcq388xzd tastyraspberry Think the above statement from GrapheneOS doesn't attribute the "sock puppet" accounts to the SimpleX team, but rather a group of users of SimpleX. npub1khs8aq3jsl8l8rq3whkhpumegsyw3gzr64gp9mnj43kzdnquzhcq388xzd tastyraspberry hm got someone to make their document public (https://support.google.com/docs/answer/2494822?hl=en#zippy=%2Cshare-a-file-or-folder-publicly), I think they just changed the default setting? npub1khs8aq3jsl8l8rq3whkhpumegsyw3gzr64gp9mnj43kzdnquzhcq388xzd tastyraspberry by "Google Play Location Service" are you referring to the Fused location provider as described here? https://developers.google.com/location-context/fused-location-provider Until now I didn't get the impression that it matters whether an app uses fused or not, as long as Google Play Services isn't present (or hasn't been granted the necessary privileges). Can we now expect more accurate location data with apps irrespective of whether they use fused? Or will only apps using fused benefit?
