Google auf dem Weg zur weltweiten Kontrolle von Smartphones?
Übersetzter Artikel (Originalquelle siehe unten)
"Google hat sein reCAPTCHA-System der nächsten Generation mit den Google Play Services auf Android verknüpft, was bedeutet, dass jeder, der ein von Google befreites Smartphone nutzt, automatisch bei der Verifizierung durchfällt, sobald das System beschließt, ihn zu überprüfen.
Diese Anforderung zwingt Android-Nutzer dazu, Googles proprietäres App-Framework in der Version 25.41.30 oder höher zu nutzen, nur um zu beweisen, dass sie Menschen sind.
Wenn reCAPTCHA eine als verdächtig eingestufte Aktivität meldet, verzichtet es auf die alten Bildrätsel und fordert Sie auf, einen QR-Code zu scannen. Dieser Scan erfordert, dass Play Services im Hintergrund läuft und mit Googles Servern kommuniziert. Wenn Sie GrapheneOS oder ein anderes benutzerdefiniertes ROM verwenden, das Googles Software entfernt, schlägt die Verifizierung fehl.
Google kündigte das umfassendere System, Google Cloud Fraud Defense, am 23. April auf der Cloud Next an und stellte es als Vertrauensplattform vor, die sowohl autonome KI-Agenten als auch herkömmliche Bots abdecken soll. Was Google dabei nicht hervorhob, war der Punkt, dass der Nachweis, dass man ein Mensch ist, nun die Unterwerfung unter seine proprietäre Überwachung erfordert."

Компиляция и композиция испортили миссию. Пикули и щипчики исчезли из ящика. Муниципий оплатил компенсацию купцам. Цикличный механизм шумел у пристани. Щипцами ямщик вытащил крючок из щуки. Пункционный укус щуки испугал цыпочку. Коммутация и аккумуляция заняли минуту. Умница принесла купцам цукини. Мимикрия щучьей кожи удивила ямщика. Ямщик потерял щипцы от пиццы. Купцы привезли цукини и муку. Щука укусила мимика за палец. Умница быстро нашла щипчики. Миссия купчика закончилась у пристани. Щипцы для пикулей лежали в ящике. Цыпочка купила пиццу утром. Мимика ямщика пугала купцов. Щучий суп и цукини остывали на кухне. Купчик уронил муку возле пиццы. Щупик помог найти пункцию кабеля.
I just now replaced #OrganicMaps with #CoMaps
I exported all the bookmark-lists as .kmz files and opened each one of them with CoMaps. No issues, all the bookmarks are there. Then I enabled automatic backups, weekly, keeping 3 versions 👌🏽
This was very smooth 😄

Fake call logs, real payments: How CallPhantom tricks Android users
ESET researchers discovered 28 fraudulent Android applications on Google Play, collectively named CallPhantom, that falsely claimed to provide call histories, SMS records, and WhatsApp logs for any phone number. These apps were downloaded over 7.3 million times before removal, primarily targeting users in India and the Asia-Pacific region. The apps generate fabricated data using hardcoded names and random phone numbers, displaying this fake information only after payment. CallPhantom employs three payment methods, with some bypassing Google Play's official billing system through third-party UPI payments or direct card entry, making refunds difficult. The scam exploits user curiosity about private information, charging between €5 and $80 for worthless subscriptions that deliver entirely fabricated communication data.

Hey, I need some tech input. My mobile phone is finally croaking and I am getting a Fairphone (that much is decided).
Now, I have the option to either use it with a regular Android version or "Murena eOS"; apparently a de-googlefied android-y thingy.
What are your experiences with that? Is it viable for regular every day use? Please share your opinion.
(I don't need lectures about data security and big tech per se....just....is the Murena thingy usable for someone who is tech-savy enough but not a nerdy pro in these kinds of things)
Online opinions seem....divided?
I've just published the first v1.0.0 release candidate for Passchain (formerly HW Fido2 Provider)!
This is a big step from something that kind of work enough to be able to use security keys without the Play Services [1][2] to a more stable app.
Among other things, it benefit from the recent improvement made for the feature on microG (it uses its lib): for example we now have cross-device login => you can theoretically login on your TV with your Yubikey now 😃
[1] or microG
[2] there are now other apps like Authnkey that allow it. They didn't exist when I started Passchain, the Play Service was the only way to use them on Android

Mh...wollte eben ein C24 Konto eröffnen. Aber das geht ausschließlich mit deren App.
Die mag aber natürlich aif meinem gerooteten, degoogled Android nicht 😕
Zwei Gründe, warum ich das machen wollte/will:
- Freundin ist schon da und wir suchen ne Lösung für ein gemeinsames Haushaltskonto ohne zusätzliche Kosten
- Die Volksbank mit ihren 6,50€ montl. Kontoführungsgebühr nervt mich

sounds like the web is about to get a lot more annoying to use for #grapheneos users and others using #android devices with """compromised integrity""", people without smartphones, people using smartphones with other operating systems, etc.: https://support.google.com/recaptcha/answer/16609652
google's new "mobile reCAPTCHA verification" will require you to scan a QR code from either an iOS device with the reCAPTCHA app or an android device with up-to-date google play services.
EDIT: this is part of google's new "fraud defense" system, and is (seemingly) intended to be used for more "important" things like purchases rather than just e.g. comment sections. however, there's nothing stopping site owners from using this thing everywhere

Any lightweight app where I can download maps from open street maps, put markers for myself (basically bookmarks) AND automatically back them up or sync them to some place remote?
#OrganicMaps only allows manual backups it seems 🤔
How difficult is it for a non techy person to change their phone's operating system from Android to one of the non Android OS options?
What is the general process without risk of losing all the contacts, messages, and apps that are already on the phone in use?
I currently have a Samsung A13.
Thank you.
A rigged game: compromises gaming platform in a supply-chain attack
North Korea-aligned APT group ScarCruft executed a multiplatform supply-chain attack targeting ethnic Koreans in China's Yanbian region, an area significant for North Korean refugees and defectors. Since late 2024, the group compromised a video gaming platform dedicated to Yanbian-themed games, trojanizing both Windows and Android components with the BirdCall backdoor. The Windows client received malicious updates leading to RokRAT and subsequently BirdCall deployment, while Android games were directly trojanized. This marks the first discovery of Android BirdCall, capable of comprehensive surveillance including data collection, screenshots, and voice recording. The campaign focuses on espionage against individuals of interest to the North Korean regime, particularly refugees and defectors.

🐿️💙 Beautiful day in #NorthCarolina! Perfect sunny weather, and warm without being hot. My neighbors are out in their yards. Birds are singing, wild squirrels and bunnies playing in my backyard.
💙 I started a #Pixelfed account on gram.social today. That was kind of an adventure. I don't recommend the (free) Pixelfed app for #Android. I paid $2 USD for the #Pixelix app, and that seems to work pretty well.
💙 My #dog has not had another pee accident, so I guess I just added too much water to his evening meal the other day! Otherwise he seems fine. He has been hanging out on the Big Boy Bed with me all day while I putzed around with Pixelfed.
Attached: photo of the surf at Topsail Island, North Carolina, taken in 2025. This was one of the images I uploaded to Pixelfed.

Remember our call for #FDroid board membership?
We are glad so many want to help #Android #FLOSS and stepped up to the challenge, specially in these troubled times. Unfortunately we can't have everyone join now, but we welcome your submission next year.
Let's meet the new board: https://f-droid.org/2026/04/28/board-appointments-2026.html
#Google gate-keeping #Android is not only an #EU #DMA issue, developers and users will be affected all over the world.
Our own @eighthave gave an interview last month talking about the balance between security and freedom.

Hot take, not too serious [SENSITIVE CONTENT]
Android is the mobile operating system where stuff can be built. If Google doesn't like your app, fine, users can sideload. And no, that's not going away. You can make your own screen reader, accessibility services, and for AI, Android phones now have up to 24 GB of RAM. I definitely wouldn't be able to use an iPhone as my computer for a week.
@mikebabcock So you're saying 3.9 billion #Android users should not be allowed to install verified/reproducible #FLOSS apps because... ?
#FDroid Client 2.0 is on track, already at Basic alpha5, did you test?
Besides a plenthora of cosmetic modernisation, it gets heavy rewrites internally.
One feature for #Android distros developers is the ability to "add a default repository".
Want to know how that works? How that changed? Read @grote 's post here: https://f-droid.org/2026/03/28/how-to-include-repos-in-rom.html
/PS: Make sure to forward this to your favorite secure and private distro developer. 😉
#Google trips over its own words, when they sell you #Android it's the best computing device in the world that does everything. After you bought it Google doesn't let you do anything *you* want to.
#Sideload is a made-up term. Putting software on your computer is simply called “installing”, regardless of whether that computer is in your pocket or on your desk.
What Do You Talk About When You Talk About Sideloading?
What does Google?
