Ich find @lud Anmerkung an @kuketzblog Beitrag schon gerechtfertigt - aktuell müssen wir ne Kröte schlucken durch Hardware von Google.

Mir ist das auch ein Dorn im Auge, daher möchte ich wirklich gerne mehr über und sowie hören und wenn die Hardware dafür verfügbar ist auch gerne

Ich mache mir etwas Sorgen um den Fortbestand von falls Google komplett sich zurückzieht, daher finde ich die Alternativen um so wichtiger

        Viste le recenti derive sulla privacy sto sempre più prendendo in considerazione di utilizzare un sistema Android libero.
        Purtroppo, mi sembra di aver capito, questi sistemi non hanno una grande compatibilità hardware per cui riescono a girare solo su alcuni dispositivi.
        Acquistare un FairPhone potrebbe essere una delle soluzioni ma probabilmente non per tutte le tasche.

                              Google is marching ahead in locking down Android, via its developer registration mandate.

                              I am hopeful that we will find a way - through regulatory intervention or otherwise - to preserve software freedom on Android, including for apps available via @fdroidorg , but I am not overly optimistic.

                                      Looks like Android is stripping GPS EXIF from photos whenever they're shared.

                                      Basically the only way to get geolocation is using USB transfer.

                                      Like, I get the privacy aspect, but it is so annoying to explain to users of @openbenches that they can't upload via the mobile website any more.

                                        Doesn't seem to be any workaround that'll let you pick a photo and have a web browser see the geolocation.

Thanks to their first-party app and @davx5app@fosstodon.org the phone is independent from the Giant tech company: contacts, calendar, to-do, photo backup, everything works automagically.

                                          The convenience of synchronisation between devices are the most common argument that I hear from friends why they are so invested in the respective walled gardens. But the same advantages can be obtained with old well-tested and open standards. Example: get an SMS with e-mail, add it to contacts and then have it autocomplete in @thunderbird@mastodon.online connecting to whichever mail provider your heart desires, thanks to the magic of CardDAV and IMAP. No need for Giant Mail :)
