We need decentralised phones.. #nostr phones. @jack View quoted note →

My fear is that they first roll out this and then ban e.g. E2EE communication apps (at least here in EU with the Chat Control etc). I'm running @GrapheneOS myself so I shouldn't be affected and I have told my family to at least consider it too when they're upgrading their phone the next time.

Yeah.. Watching this nervously.

Went down a learning hole with this one. Stumbled across the Metabolic Workspace. I love this idea because it takes the goal of data and makes it the priority. What is the purpose of information you ask? I believe the only reason we should have data is to inform behavior. Why? Well as Joan Westenberg states, “Ideas have a half-life, and clinging to them past their expiration date actually poisons my ability to think clearly.” As much as we are humanBEINGS we were also created to be humanDOERS. We are mandated to take action. To “…fill the Earth and subdue it.” (Genesis 1:28) So to that end, a “Second Brain” that functions like our digestive system, like our gut micro biome extracting nutrients and deploying…taking action with the information; makes complete sense to me. After all, what good is collecting information if it doesn’t help us proof our work. Do a little digging…you might something valuable 😃 P.S.

@GrapheneOS is the way.

Nice 😂

It's starting to look like the backlash is making them dial it back. Initially it was believed it would require an adb command to unlock it, but it's starting to look like it will just be a warning, not that far off the current status quo. One hopes they come to their senses.

Android Authority

Here's how Google's getting ready for Android's upcoming sideloading restrictions (Updated)

Ahead of Google's mandatory developer registration for sideloaded apps, the company's getting the Play Store ready.

How to upload from an iphone?

Funnily enough, this exact message from Obtanium is what pushed me to finally start that transition.

Install? GrapheneOS is currently only supported on Pixel devices.

Havent seem the msg yet... But they are making all efforts to close us down to their ultimate control

"While it's true that GrapheneOS is currently tailored for Pixel devices, the open-source community is always evolving. Who knows what the future holds? Exciting times ahead for privacy enthusiasts! 🌐✨ #OpenSource #Privacy"

Interesting! We had zero information but this appears cautiously promising

No, I mean how to change all the information from an iphone to a pixel with grapheneOS?

so, not even sideload?

There are loads of tips and tutorials out there. One size will not fit all. I moved over last Fall. It takes planning and effort, but it's worth it.

sideload? that word is a psyop it's called install

sorry about that I'm not fluent in adb ;)

Which app isn't there?

I uninstalled and deactivated most of the Google applications and now I get messages all the time that I must activate the playstre and several apps just for the cell phone to work, when in reality it has worked very well for me and I installed everything I wanted without need. of your service

Messages from whom?

How did you uninstall system Google apps? I've uninstalled and removed data, cleared cache on all of them, but they keep opening up in operation

@GrapheneOS is the way

enter developer mode, eliminate those that you could and those that you did not disable and force the stop.

the cell phone itself

I did force-stop on all of them, but they still work? 🤔🙈

well, several Google services are no longer available because when using one, it tells me that they are deactivated, apart from deleting all the permissions of the apps, so now I grant them manually.

Sigh. Not sure what I'm doing wrong but I meticulously go into the inner pages, loads them on a browser and remove perms from everywhere. Let's hope it's enough. Also considering alternative OS installs if possible.

did you check if your cell phone is compatible with lineageOS? it does not have the same level of security as grapheneos, but it does give more control over what to install.

although if you have already deleted most of the permissions, that already gives a little more privacy.

it is

Yup. Did start a trial run installing LineageOS, but something came up and shelved it midway. Scheduled to try LineageOS and/or http://E.foundationy this coming week. P.S: have you ever encountered this screen? It's new, it wasn't there in previous years, have disabled location on Maps multiple times:

Pana - The Refuge Network State

New fuckery from Google Maps 🗺️ 

Trying to switch off accurate location sharing 

#DeathToImperialism #TheMoreYouKnow #EndThe...

the truth is I have never used Google Maps.

Ah, what a good problem to have.
