Vorschlag für den nächsten #DIday :
„Wie befreie ich ein Chromebook von #Google und installiert #linux stattdessen?"
Es gibt zwar diverse Anleitungen, doch wenn man kein computerafiner Mensch ist schrecken die eher ab. Da wären Präsentationen vor Ort für den 'normalen' User hilfreich.

More than 75% of software I run on my phone is FOSS from the fdroid store. Google will not be able to enforce their policy on me because I run #grapheneos, however the FOSS ecosystem will die. Maybe the time is right to accelerate vanilla Linux on mobile phones. Looking at #postmarketos

After nine years, it happened. I finally made the move to switch away from #Google for email to #ProtonMail #Proton #ProtonME

I was a bit hesitant about it, like, what will break, how hard will it be, and so on.

It was easier than I anticipated, I got more storage, I now have data in Europe and pay to a European actor rather than an American one.

Ich kann nur bestätigen das die Kameras der pro Serie das beste sind wo ich bisher am Handy erlebt habe.
Unter #GrapheneOS allerdings auch nur mit der #Google Kamera-App.
Was allerdings kein Problem darstellt - die gibt's auch im #aurora Store.

Wenn du mehr Infos brauchst solltest du selber mal das Netz durchstöbern.

CDU und SPD wollen ein »Social-Media-Verbot unter 14« – als wäre das Kinderschutz. Gleichzeitig werden Kinder per »Family Link« von Google dauerüberwacht: Aktivität, Standort, Routinen – alles wird protokolliert und verknüpft. Am Ende wird Symbolpolitik gemacht, während der eigentliche Kinderschutz an der falschen Stelle landet.

I personally think the mandatory #Android app developer registration that #Google wants to enforce starting in September 2026 and that will prevent the installation of apps of non-registered developers is in breach of Article 5 (5) of the EU Digital Markets Act.

I therefore just sent a complaint to the European Commission and asked them to enforce the requirements of the EU DMA.

Getting a monopoly to be less shitty is nice, but wouldn't building an alternative be much better?

There is already the french /e/ OS that exists. I wish european countries would start building on it and improving it. Thereby breaking the shitty monopoly.

Europe seems to have suddenly awaken and started actively looking for alternatives to american big tech.

And a Google free phone would be a thing.

How big tech stole $35 Trillion from the public

Besides, techno-feudalism, I like the term because it describes the situation much better than capitalism.

I urge all developers of #Android apps to NOT pre-emptively obey the new terms of #Google requiring you to sign up for the Android Developer Console.

It looks like Google is attempting a power grab and wants to prevent ALL installations of Android apps without official Google approval; even those installed outside Google Play.

This is an attack on both developer and user freedom and unacceptable.
