Hey everyone,

@casey and @aseelfromgz had the honour of speaking to one family from Gaza today and we’d like to welcome them to Gaza Verified.

They are:

• Hussein shamia (@huseinshamia93)

Please give them a warm welcome to Mastodon and to the fediverse, follow their account, and donate to their fundraiser if you can (and please share this so others can do the same).

Also, remember that you can find all our families who have fundraisers listed at the following page, ordered by those who have received the least in donations over the last week (on a rolling basis):

Thank you for making Mastodon and the fediverse a safe space for our friends in Gaza and for your support.

Is there any official statement oft #debian and #freebsd to - not - implement this idiotic #california #age #verification #law ?

I assume this would Marke it illegal in EU (GDPR) and i would need to look für other distros if they implement it.

Passkeys would be a great way to combat this problem, but not all passkeys require biometrics, so...

Android "advanced flow" for sideloading "unverified" apps explained to @arstechnica by Android Ecosystem President Sameer Samat 

When sideloading apps today, Android phones alert the user to the “unknown sources” toggle in the settings, and there’s a flow to help you turn it on. The verification bypass is different and will not be revealed to users. You have to know where this is and proactively turn it on yourself, and it’s not a quick process. Here are the steps:

• Enable developer options by tapping the software build number in About Phone seven times
• In Settings > System, open Developer Options and scroll down to “Allow Unverified Packages.”
• Flip the toggle and tap to confirm you are not being coerced
• Enter device unlock pin/password
• Restart your device
• Wait 24 hours
• Return to the unverified packages menu at the end of the security delay
• Scroll past additional warnings and select either “Allow temporarily” (seven days) or “Allow indefinitely.”
• Check the box confirming you understand the risks.
• You can now install unverified packages on the device by tapping the “Install anyway” option in the package manager.

Not ideal, but that will work for me
