Let's be absolutely clear, there are many ways you *can* listen to the late RL Burnside on your phone...

...but what can be *better* than listening to lossless FLAC files through wired headphones plugged directly into a device that still comes with a headphone jack!

Motorola G 5G (2024) de-googled with @iode from OpenMobile... Yes Please! https://openmobile.us/store/mg24/

After months of procrastination, I've finally eliminated the last two #YouTube links from my web page! All of my seminar talk videos have now been moved to #PeerTube and I can begin moving my math research livestream recordings over. Who knows, I may even have some new, PeerTube-exclusive content in the not-too-distant future.

My hobby this week is deleting Google Off My Phone.

So I Installed GrapheneOS on my Pixel Six.

No blog posts for years then two in one week!

It seems to do most of the things I need from a phone these days, if only because of how I'm already deliberately not using Google for address/calendar/email and instead try and do most stuff with self-hosted web-services.

Means if I have a browser I have most of what I want already.

Graphene here is going to work for me except for:

• Organic Maps isn't good enough for driving or for busses.
• Banking apps

Luckily, with Graphene, the Google Play services can be installed and they install in user-space, so you can set your phone to have a Google partition and a Free partition and install Maps and Waze and Bank-apps in the Google unfree part.

Using a few new open-source things I wasn't using before on Android. Molly is nice for Signal and solves that tablet-app problem I think.

But seems like this can work. Away from Google but still only supporting a google phone 🤔 for now. More models coming I believe.

Perhaps I'll buy one soon coz both Google and Graphene stop supporting this Pixel Six this year.

More details in the Blog Post. anyway.

One of our esteemed committee members, Janet Vertesi - @cyberlyra - was recently interviewed on Techtonic - @markhurst - talking about her journey to #DigitalIndependence. She went from being "that person who hates technology" to the founder of the Opt Out Project, an organization that helps others to remove data-collecting big tech from our lives.
It's a fascinating interview that hopefully inspires you to #DeGoogle.

My @furilabs FLX1s arrived yesterday. On Wifi at the office but haven't put a sim card into it yet. Build quality seems good but the case is a disappointment. Fit and finish is subpar and makes the kill switches nearly unusable.

Also so far have been unable to get the preloaded Gallery application to function correctly. It shows folders but appears empty. The Image Viewer application is working however.

This is GREAT NEWS! Google will change your website without you or anyone knowing it if a visitor gets to it via google search! Their artificial idiot will "fix" your website to something customised for the reader, probably showing them crap instead of what you worked on to get online.

DUMP GOOGLE
