@leah Hey, thanks for the FCC unlock script, which kicks the 4G modem in my laptop every day!

#opensource #lenovo

Actions speak louder than words.

I am unable to install EU Login app in my phone because I use LineageOS and not the Google Spy Android.

Thus, I cannot use the double factor authentication, mandatory from the 25-02-2026 on unless I tell Google.

A frontal attack to our #privacy.

Stupid, no?

@EUCommission

Die Debatte um ein Mindestalter für Social Media geht am Problem vorbei: die Gefahren hören ja nicht mit 16 oder 18 auf - ganz im Gegenteil.

Der Vergleich zum Glücksspiel ist treffender, als diejenigen ahnen, die ihn verwenden:
* zutiefst korruptes Geschäftsmodell
* große Schäden für die Gesellschaft
* Mindestalter LEGITIMIERT das Geschäftsmodell und seine Opfer sind „selbst schuld.“
So wird der Missstand zementiert, statt an der Wurzel eliminiert.

Schaltgespräch mit Linus Neumann (Chaos Computer Club) u.a. zur Debatte über das Social-Media-Verbot

🧵

Screenshot button. Why was it placed in task views *bottom*? The amount of accidential screenshots I have taken since then... I know the shortcut using hardware buttons, why was the "Clear all" moved to the end of tasks at the left?! If I open that view I want to kill
apps!

OK, the new UI transparency is nice and feels more modern than before, but the other changes feel unnecessary or make useability just objectively worse - especially the introduction of more and more intermediate menus.

🧵

...not only that, if you want to access more tiles you have to do another gesture - the new detailed screen only covers half of your device. Why? As a user I wanted more tiles, hence I pulled them down, but I still have to scroll horizontally?!

Minimized notifications. Back then they were barely higher than one line of text. Minimized. Now they have the same height as a normal notification and are prominently stacked at the bottom of the screen. Was this change only to push AI summary?

🧵

🧵

Quick setting tiles. Back then you had 6 tiles in one row and their background color informed you about their status. A bit minimalistic, but IMHO okay for *quick settings*.

Nowadays? You have 4 major buttons spread to 2 rows, which attempt to show more detailed information for each tile. The details are emtpy for Bluetooth (if not connected), Device Controls (always) or Caffeine (if not triggered). Not only the amount of tiles were reduced, they did not improve...

🧵

WTF is wrong with you, Android?

Volume menu. You press the volume rocker and could press the output button to change it to another device.

Nowadays? Press the rocker, tap on the three dots, in the new menu for different audio classes *at another location* of the display press on a big button for audio target and then enter the same old menu.
