The one thing that the #Android ecosystem lacks and #iOS does incredibly well: Not the apps, not even the UI, certainly not browser politics. It's fucking #Shortcuts.
Yes, there is #Tasker. And it can do a lot. If you hate yourself or have the resources to fill in the gaps with code.
But can you create WordPress entries and post sharepics on socials based on a calendar event of CalDAV subscribed calendar? Or transcribe a podcast and summarize it on a push of a button? Or generate HTML?
Does anybody use or have used MacroDroid and could tell me anything _negative_ about it? I don't need positives, I know it does what I need, I just want to know why I _shouldn't_ use. TIA.
Macrodroid is very bad at variables and fetching data.
(Better make everything a global var lol)
I still have a #old #Tasker version installed cause it helps with fetching #Poweramp trackids...
Shame arlosoft is too busy.
On the flipside #Tasker has issue with staying in RAM at times
And then there is #XPosedEdge which has its own set of issues..
Tasker has way more plugins too.
These programscan enable simple #webapps to (inter)act wih your device.
Pretty neat

Teil 4: Mobile Unabhängigkeit 📱🔓
Nachdem der Desktop befreit war, ging es an das schwierigste Thema, das Smartphone mit Google Android 🚫
Die Hardware-Wahl überrascht viele: Ein Google Pixel 8 Pro.
Warum? Weil es (paradoxerweise) die einzige Hardware ist, die uns erlaubt, den Hersteller komplett auszusperren.
Das Zauberwort heißt GrapheneOS. 🛡️
Die Installation: Web-Installer, USB-Kabel, 10 Minuten Angstschweiß, fertig. Kein Hexenwerk.
Der Alltag: Kein Google-Konto Zwang. Kein Tracking im Hintergrund. Keine Spyware funkt.
Die Apps: F-Droid für FOSS, Aurora Store für den Rest. Und wenn eine App zickt (Banking), läuft sie in einer Sandbox ohne Rechte.
Es ist mein Gerät. Meine Daten. Mein Pixel gehört endlich mir.
Fortsetzung folgt...

Closegup of the top right corner showing the icons that always appear there but a new microphone icon is on the left of where the sound, do not disturb, connectivity and battery icons appear. The microphone icon (though with a diagonal strikethrough to indicate it is off) looks like a typical artificial intelligence or search option icon.
Seeing this alerted me to a change to the tablet which seems to be related to Android Version 13.

i am looking at things like#SailfishOS & #GrapheneOS & others to replace #Android. but honestly, most of what i read is over my head. i'll need to keep learning or just hire someone. i'd like to learn bc i understand it goes far beyond my phone's OS
i thought i was so advanced when i was learning pascal & fortran in the early '80s, but then i just let the tech companies start handling everything. i feel like i'm starting over. #opensource #breaktheoligarchy
I am so grateful for the responses & advice i've received. just another reason i'm thankful i'm now on #mastodon. the engagement here is amazing💙
Admittedly, much of it is outside my scope of knowledge, so i have been looking things up & learning what I can
for example, when someone suggests to disable or delete the #google app on my #android phone, to me it sounds like someone telling me to delete #microsoft from my #windows computer. the google app is the largest app on my phone
🤬 #geminiAI took over the power button on an #android tablet used by one of our elderly relatives.
A long press on the power button instead of showing a shut-down confirmation now opens a shit-widget and turns the mic on.
Consequence – the elderly woman wasn't able to turn the tablet off.
She was a programmer back in the old times.
So this is what we all can expect when we grow old if these shitheads stay in charge – uncontrollable and broken useless technology.
I’m not building 121Drop to chase growth or subscriptions.
I’m building it because I don’t like where backups are headed. More accounts, more cloud lock-in, more monthly fees.
121Drop is meant to be simple, local, and boring in the best way.
I’m validating this quietly before writing code. If that approach resonates, you can follow along here:

I need a new phone.
The latest LineageOS only runs on OnePlus and Google Pixel devices.
GrapheneOS supports only Google Pixel devices.
So, my choice boils down to just Google Pixel?
Pixel 9a seems to be available in local brick-and-mortar stores.

"On the positive side though, following all that backlash, Microsoft acknowledged Windows has issues, and as if on cue, the company in a new support article has admitted that there are problems on almost every major Windows 11 core feature. The issues are related to XAML and this impacts all the Shell components like the Start Menu, Taskbar, Explorer, and Windows Settings.
Explorer.exe crash

System Settings silently fails to launch
Application crashes when initializing the XAML views

just wow! i was making notes in an app on my #Android phone using vtt as i oft do, when it stopped working. a note on the mic said to restart my phone to use the function
when i restarted it, an icon for #GeminiAI appeared. went to Apps to remove it but wasn't there. I checkd Info, & #Google appeared. I now cant remove Gemini w/o removing Google which operates most of the phone😱
looks like i have to move up my plans to migrate to a #Linux OS like #Sailfish

The focus for us at @Vivaldi has always been to do what our users want us to do. So we have spent time on things like:
- Work spaces and tab stacks
- Tab tiling
- Mouse gestures
- Customizable keyboard shortcuts
- Tracker and ad blocker
- Panels and Web panels
- Cross platform, encrypted sync function
- Advanced bookmarking function with speed dials
- Customizable dashboard
- Massive customization options in general.
- Notes functionality
We have also added stuff like this in our desktop browser
- Mail client
. Calendar
- Feed reader
- Proton VPN integration
Not everyone uses everything we make, but that is also the point. The fact that we listen to special requests is IMHO a feature and not a bug. We value power users as well.
On the other hand, we have stayed away from certain things. Things like:
- Blockchain / Crypto currencies
- AI
You can find us on Windows, MacOS, Linux, Android and iOS. You can even find us in many cars running Android Automotive.
We are not the largest browser company in the world, but we are dedicated and we are growing. More and more are giving us a try. Have you?

The switch to #waterfox went pretty well. I had made the switch on my work MacBook a month ago but was holding off as the integration with browsers other than the usual suspects hadn't been added to the 1Password desktop client on Windows yet. With that now available there wasn't anything keeping me on Firefox any longer so I made the switch this week.
So far so good, it's been a very easy switch for me. All of my usual add-ons work the way they did before and I've yet to find any websites that complain about an out of date browser the way I would on the ESR branch of Firefox occasionally so that's been nice. At this point I'm running it on Mac, Linux, and Windows and it's been good on all of those.
Anyway, that's my two cents. It looks like Waterfox is available on #Android right now but I don't see an #ios build as of yet, so if you're on iPhone like I am, your options are still limited. But bottom line, if you're looking for a Firefox experience without the AI features that #mozilla recently started rolling out, this looks to be a nice, viable option from where I'm sitting. I know there are more secure options like LibreWolf that are available and a lot of the #infosec folks I trust have gone that route. I tried it and liked it but ran into a few websites I regularly use that had issues with the security configs in LibreWolf so I ultimately decided I was willing to sacrifice a bit of security in the interest of not having to bounce between browsers. But yeah, seems like it's worth it if you're a longtime Firefox user and want to keep the browser you love without the additional BS.

I am reminded once again that @trunksapp is probably the best Mastodon app on the market available for Android.
#Molly app has a socks5 option but only #Orbot "VPN" mode will work. What if #Arti from @torproject could bind with Molly on socks5 via #Termux?
would be nice to have #systemd like @postmarketOS
*Termux @termux
pkg update (possible to plug in keyboard and display to #android #mobile app)
then proot-distro login --isolated debian
su - user because Arti will complain eventhough phone is not really rooted, change etc/resolv.conf to cloudflare, add dependencies needed for #rust rustup and cargo on #debian #trixie, chmod g-w ~/.config
* #Oniux --> E0560
* Arti --> works great. Have not noticed any "anti-effects." Also works on #Alpine / #PostmarketOS in Termux tests.
* apkeep #EFF https://www.eff.org/pages/apkeep --> shared storage path, package manager chokepoint won't install
* network monitoring like Nyx with #tokio-console
In a way, like passwordless root in QubesOS. Some good customizations can be made in Dom0, though, unlike GrapheneOS.
