Just 297 more days until I am set to DeGoogle from Android (2027, January 1st deadline) yet I am so far behind on my APK backup goal. I currently have my eyes on this phone to replace my aging and heavily damaged Samsung Galaxy S20:

I hope it actually comes to fruition. However, I have alternatives in place if it doesn't.

Tired of Google's Tracking? Motorola's GrapheneOS-Powered Phones Are Coming

You won't need to pay Google for using GrapheneOS soon.

It's FOSS

I am trying to backup not just the app, but all associated data (save progress, configurations, source code, binaries, everything) Data on these apps goes all the way back to 2009 or earlier.
I want this Samsung Galaxy S20 FE (almost 6 years old now) to be my final Android device.
Am I doing this right? Is my data bundled inside the APK/APK+ files? Are they installable (in a virtual machine, sometime in the future)
Android has been one of the 3 major hurdles I still can't cross to degoogle my life (the other 2 being YouTube, and Golang (which seems to be used on so many programs I use) GMAIL is a 4th hurdle, but it is a lot smaller. A lot of the apps are Internet based, and won't run, but I still value their preservation.

Maybe, there should be a new #browserExtension like #SponsorBlock, #DeArrow, #CaptainFact, and #tournesol, to which people can upload their videos without #AI filters if they are affected by #YouTube's AI filters. Projects like #Piped and #Invidious could natively support this and directly play the non-AI impacted videos.

Maybe, this can be the nail on #YouTube's coffin if people start worrying more about people with epilepsy than they cling to #Google. This could help #PeerTube.

Yeah, probably not, but one can have hopes …

YouTube AI Filter Is Making My Videos Dangerous To Watch

I've started deleting my videos on YouTube and added a simple video to explain that subscribers should come to PeerTube instead. In a few days Vintrospektiv will be largely Google-free.

Does anyone know where to get a #PineTab from? I'm in the EU and it seems to be surprisingly hard to get. All I can find is that one can import it from the US, but that currently might not be the best option. But I couldn't find anything on eBay/Kleinanzeigen and the like.

Basically, no #Chromium after reading this for #ungoogling. Warming up with #GrapheneOS gets you there https://qua3k.github.io/ungoogled/

@pallenberg Ich habe mich gefreut, dass Mastodon bei den Social-Media-Links als erstes steht und als ich #Matomo las, dachte ich erst "cool", aber dann sind mir eine Sache aufgefallen, die ihr vielleicht anpassen könntet:
Ihr habt ein sehr gefülltes #CookieBanner, das ich aus #Datenschutz-Sicht bedenklich finde
