#Android is dead and we’d better all leave the ship before it sinks entirely.

Earlier this year #Google already took bold steps in moving the development of several AOSP components behind closed doors, removing the open-source foundations of the project one component at the time.

Options to unlock bootloaders on Android devices are also narrowing down. Xiaomi removed the ability to unlock the bootloader entirely in MIUI in August (after months spent making it ridiculously difficult), same for OnePlus, Samsung did so in July, and probably Google devices will soon follow suit.

And let’s not mention the nightmare of the Play Integrity API that forces all Android developers to register through the Play Store and use Google’s signing keys, even if they don’t intend to distribute their apps through it.

Sure, officially Google has taken a step back and has pledged to provide a way for developers and power-users to bypass those restrictions. But we can all expect it to be a cumbersome and change-prone process filled with ridiculous amounts of frictions at every step - and I wouldn’t even expect such a morally bankrupt company to keep maintaining this “sideloading” option.

Google once competed with Apple for customers. But in a world where Google walks away from the biggest antitrust trial since 1998 with yet another slap on the wrist, competition is dead, and Google is taking notes from Apple about what they can legally get away with. And the EU, the biggest opposer of its anti-competitive acts, is also becoming softer with Big Tech - both because Vestager has left the job, and because being soft with trillion-dollar monopolist tech titans is seen as a sign of being “technologically competitive”.

Your best bet is to purchase a Pixel 9a now, before more manufacturers decide to block bootloaders, and immediately flash it with #GrapheneOS.

The long term plan would instead be to throw all of our efforts and energies on Linux phones. The folks at GrapheneOS are doing an amazing job and fighting against all kind of pressures, but at some point we should probably all just acknowledge that anything that is tainted with Android, or runs on a device intended only to run Android, is a liability, and we should no longer build solutions on top of hardware and software that we can no longer trust.

Sailfish, PostmarketOS, UBPorts, MeeGo or whatever comes next must succeed. No matter the cost.

Google will develop Android OS entirely behind closed doors starting next week

Google is adjusting how Android is made, with the AOSP branch moving behind closed doors, leaving the entire OS to be privately developed.

Gibt's eigentlich schon ne chaos-flohmarkt Instanz?

Ich stelle mir das gerade so ein wenig wie ne Server resterampe vor. Einfach Chaos Wesen die alte/gebrauchte IT verscherbeln oder auch einfach verschenken damit sie nicht im. Schrott landet.

End-to-end Encryption (E2EE) over ActivityPub

Encrypted direct messages supply the confidence that people need to connect with family, friends and colleagues privately over a social network. As part of the Summer of Protocols 2024, we explore the integration of end-to-end encryption (E2EE) into the ActivityPub protocol.

내란의 밤, ‘범죄 현장’ 대통령실을 지킨 기자들 www.mediatoday.co.kr/news/article... "기자들에 따르면 비상계엄 선포 이후 대통령실 직원들이 텔레그램에 가입하기 시작했다. B기자는 혹시 기자들이 끌려갈지 모른다는 생각에 회사 단체대화방을 포함해 모든 대화방에서 나왔다. 같은 대화방에 있다는 이유만으로 피해를 받을 수 있다고 생각하던 시기였다. 실제 포고령에는 모든 정치활동을 금지하고 언론과 출판은 계엄사의 통제를 받으며 포고령 위반자는 체포·구금·압수수색을 할 수 있다는 내용이 담겼다."

내란의 밤, ‘범죄 현장’ 대통령실을 지킨 기자들

장슬기 기자 · 2024년 12월3일, A기자 용산 대통령실에 첫 출근 날이었다. 이날 오전 출입증을 발급받아 처음 대통령실 건물에 들어갔다. 이날은 당시 대통령 윤석열씨와 사디르 자파로프 키르기즈공화국 대통령의 정상회담이 있는데 비공개 일정이니 일단 자리 정리하고 주변을 둘러보면서 적응하고 내일부터 본격 업무를 하면 된다는 대통령실 직원 안내가 있었다. A기자에게는 대통령실과 제대로 소통한 첫 직원이자 마지막 직원이었다. A기자는 짐을 풀고 주변 기자들에게 인사를 하고 점심도 먹었다. 오후에 양국 정상회담에 대한 사후 보도자료가 나왔다. A기자는

오늘의 필사~ 갑자기 주어진 글이 길어져서 당황함
잉크는 좋아하는 빈타의 바이올렛 마스카라! 처음엔 파란데 점점 보라색으로 변해서 여러 문장을 쓰고 있으면 위쪽은 보라색이고 내가 쓰고 있는 부분은 파란색인 점이 재밌음

長いこと :vivaldi_red: デスクトップでは

* 下部のステータスバーにアドレスバーの機能をマージ
* アドレスバーは下部に配置&基本非表示（メールの時だけ表示される）

という設定にしてたけど、
タブバーもアドレスバーも上部にない状態だと、

* デフォルトでは デフォルトのウインドウに表示されるタイトルバーが表示されてしまう
* それを で隠したとしても左上の信号ボタン 🔴🟡🟢 だけは消せない

という状態になっちゃうので、

* 左サイドに置いたタブバーの上部に 🔴🟡🟢 を表示するためのスペースを空ける
* 左サイドにタブバーがない時（自分はタブバーをけっこうな頻度で隠す）は Web ページ領域に 🔴🟡🟢 が重なることを許容する

と言う工夫・妥協が必要だったので、思いきって逆にステータスバーを非表示にして、上部に表示したアドレスバーにステータスバーの機能もマージする、という感じにしてみた。

こうすることで

* 基本的にはアドレスバーは非表示にすることはないので 🔴🟡🟢 がWeb ページとかに重なることが少なくなる

ので、不自然な見え方になるケースが減るのではないかという仮説を検証していく生活にこれから入っていく。

macOS の Vivaldi のウインドウのキャプチャ画像。 上にアドレスバー、左にタブバー、右にサイドバーが表示されていて、下部にはステータスバーはなく、通常ステータスバーに表示されているいくつかのボタン類は上部のアドレスバーに配置されている。

Favorite Photo: Reflejos otoñales. by Pedro Mena Urrutia flic.kr/p/2rJbzVD

Reflejos otoñales.

Reto Otoño/25. El Nacedero del Urederra, en la Sierra de Urbasa (Navarra), es uno de esos lugares que parecen diseñados para la fotografía de paisaje: luz tamizada, contrastes suaves y una paleta de colores que, incluso sin edición, roza lo irreal. El rasgo más icónico del Nacedero es el color azul turquesa intenso de sus pozas y cascadas. Esta tonalidad se debe a una combinación de factores: sedimentos carbonatados y partículas de caliza en suspensión, que reflejan selectivamente las longitudes de onda azuladas. Aguas extremadamente puras que actúan casi como un filtro óptico natural. Fondos blanquecinos formados por depósitos de travertino, que potencian la luminosidad y saturación del color. Poca profundidad en ciertos tramos, lo que permite que el turquesa se perciba aún más vibrante. Para fotografía, esto significa que con luz suave —especialmente en días nublados— el color se intensifica, y se evita el exceso de brillos. El valle está cubierto por un hayedo atlántico que, dependiendo de la época del año, aporta texturas, filtros de luz y atmósferas completamente distintas. En otoño, el contraste entre el oro y el cobre de las hojas con el turquesa del agua es una de las combinaciones cromáticas más fotogénicas de la península. La transparencia visual del bosque —sobre todo cuando la humedad es alta— permite captar capas en la fotografía: el arroyo, el musgo, la hojarasca y las laderas del valle, todo con un suave efecto atmosférico.

Favorite Photo: Aletsch Glacier by aivar.mikko flic.kr/p/2rJnexg

Aletsch Glacier

The Aletsch Glacier or Great Aletsch Glacier is the largest glacier in the Alps. It has a length of about 23 km,] has about a volume of 15.4 km3, and covers about 81.7 km2 in the eastern Bernese Alps in the Swiss canton of Valais. The Aletsch Glacier is composed of four smaller glaciers converging at Konkordiaplatz, where its thickness was measured by the ETH to be still near 1 km. It then continues towards the Rh ne valley before giving birth to the Massa. The whole area, including other glaciers is part of the Jungfrau-Aletsch Protected Area, which was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2001.
