Un monde où l'on ne peut pas faire confiance à ses outils de communication, où l'on doit s'échanger entre initié des techniques pour juste désactiver une truc espion *de plus* dans son téléphone, n'est pas un futur souhaitable.
Android installe silencieusement un logiciel pour vous "protéger" à l'insu de votre plein gré

@arstechnica - the Pixel line's most appealing feature is certainly not surveillance tech like Gemini, but rather that you can flash a variety of privacy respecting Android ROMs over what Google ships.

Google-Apps empfehlen Update, das es nicht gibt
Manche Android-Handys nerven derzeit mit dem Ruf nach einem Update der Google Play Services, selbst wenn es nichts zu holen gibt.
Ein #Bug sorgt unter #Android für Verwirrung. So werden Nutzer immer wieder aufgefordert, die #Google Play Services auf ihrem #Smartphone zu aktualisieren. Ein entsprechendes #Update existiert jedoch nicht. https://winfuture.de/news,149679.html?utm_source=Mastodon&utm_medium=ManualStatus&utm_campaign=SocialMedia
Nachdem ich die letzten Jahre miniflux https://miniflux.app/ nur im Browser verwendet habe, habe ich es nun mit Capy Reader https://capyreader.com/ verbunden.
(In miniflux in den Einstellungen unter Integrations Google Reader API aktivieren und Benutzername und Passwort vergeben. In Capy Reader eigenen Server wählen und Daten eingeben. Fertig.) #rss #feeds #reader #android
@kuketzblog Auf der Suche nach einem anpassbarem, Chromium-basierten #Android #Browser bin ich aufgrund einer aus dem Google Store entfernten Erweiterung nun auf #Quetta gestoßen, welcher als "Privacy First" beworben wird ("Zero usage data collection") und Erweiterungen unterstützt. Integrierte Fingerprint-Verwischung, Synchronisierungskonto ohne E-Mail-Adresse, "KI-Werbeblocker".
Vielleicht mal was für den #Browsertest?

I'm glad that I have a Google Pixel 8a and not a older model. There have been many reports of Google Pixels exploding! It's horrendous. I would strongly recommend against buying anything older than the Pixel 8 series.
Disclaimer: I'm not a expert and haven't deeply researched this topic, but I considered it important enough to give everyone a warning.

I'll most certainly be adding this to my collection come Thursday morning!

@ct_Magazin Vor #android Tablets u. a. auch von der Marke #lenovo muss eindringlich gewarnt werden, denn Betriebssystem-Updates oder generell Sicherheitsupdates sind dort idR. Mangelware und die teure Hardware wird nach nur wenigen Jahren obsolet. Da ist Lenovo aber nicht alleine ...
For some odd reason people consider it to be normal to be very very violated when it comes down to their personal privacy.
* No one should point the camera at your face without your permission.
* No one should sell you a device which has a camera pointed at your face 24 hours a day and you just accept it
* No one should sell you a device with a battery permanently sealed in it but that's another story and another storyline
* No one should ever sell you the snake oil telling you that it's normal to have a camera pointed at your face 24/7
It's not normal!
Now go and protect your identity cover that lens!
When was the last time you've properly used the camera on your Android?
No I'm not talking about the camera which points at the scenery, I'm talking about the camera which points straight to your face 24 hours a day every time you pick your Android up.
¿Well? I'm waiting.
About 990 out of 1000 people will answer this wrong.
The only proper way of using that camera is making sure that it can only record images of your face when you absolutely want to
That means that you need to put a piece of electrical isolation tape in front of the lens of the camera and it should be like that for most of the day.
Any other manner means that you do not know anything about securing yourself and about protecting your identity.
Do you consider it normal to have a barrel of a firearm pointed at your face 24 hours a day?
The question is rhetorical
Now please follow suit and do like I have done it for decades;
The only time when the camera is pointed at me, is when I want to; if I don't I either cover it, or shove the person who puts the camera in my face in such a manner that they drop it immediately, or else!
#TIL about #FOSSDroid;
"... the project’s aim is to promote free and open source apps on the Android platform. Fossdroid takes its data from F-Droid and organizes the apps in an attractive Google Play-like arrangement, with the ability to view apps by what’s new / trending / most popular."
#Android phone: Human, a call is coming through!
Me: fumbles with phone
Phone: did you mean to pull down the notification shade?
Me: NOOOO!!!
Phone: Here are all of your notifications for you to peruse while listening to your ringtone becoming increasingly frantic!
Me: No, no, no! Just let me answer the phone!!! <swipes up frantically>
Phone: Yes, sir, I will let you scroll up to view more notifications! I know you certainly were not trying to dismiss the notification shade, considering how important that is at a time like this.
Me: NOOoOooOOooo!! Get away, let me answer the call! Ahhhhh!!!!
@seaotta : I just wrote https://infosec.exchange/@ErikvanStraten/114179498434270268 *three* times in Firefox for Android.
Switching to another browser or converting images causes Alzheimers in Firefox: my text and images (plus Alt text) are GONE.
I know that I should close more browser tabs, but loosing text I just entered is simply unacceptible. I'm now considering to switch to a dedicated Mastodon app, loathing the idea of having to read about and select a reasonable (privacy and security) Mastodon app.
AARRGGHH
