If that's the case, DOGE should recommend to replace her with a mirror. Think of the savings.

Harris was popular when she first announced.

I don't think she was popular when first announced, rather the fact that not-Biden was popular.

CalyxOS relocks the bootloader and they supported the FP5 right after launch.

CalyxOS is not a hardened OS, and GrapheneOS requires more than than just relocking the bootloader.

Fairphone's devices do not meet basic security requirements for hardware, firmware and the software device support including drivers. Please look at the hardware requirements at https://grapheneos.org/faq#future-devices and check for yourself how many of those are provided by the Fairphone. Even the Fairphone 5 has a CPU core from 2021 without even PAC and BTI.

TL;DR

  • Efforts like Graphene OS face increasing pressure from apps that refuse to run on non-standard Android.
  • The custom ROM project characterizes Google’s approach to device attestation as incomplete and flawed.
  • Graphene OS is prepared to take legal action if Google won’t let it pass Play Integrity checks.

Apple has announced that its Messages app will support the RCS messaging standard in iOS 18. RCS offers more advanced features compared to traditional SMS, including higher-quality media, typing indicators, and end-to-end encryption. This move will improve messaging between iOS and Android devices, which currently rely on the less capable SMS protocol. Apple's decision to add RCS support likely comes in response to pressure from Google, Samsung, and European regulators who have pushed for better cross-platform messaging. Overall, this change will bring the iPhone's messaging capabilities more in line with the Android experience.

This announcement is from the Lawnchair Discord:

Lawnchair 14 has arrived!

After about 2 years, we're delighted to announce that Lawnchair 14 has finally arrived!

Based on Launcher3 from Android 14, this release works with QuickSwitch from Android 10 to Android 14! You won't need to use an older version to integrate with the system.

Some major highlights:
• Search your phone, the web, and more with our new Global Search — no root needed!¹
• View flight info, see surrounding traffic, and keep an eye on your data usage with Smartspacer — all integrated within Lawnchair.²
• Want to further control your icons? Fret not, We now support custom icon packs for themed icons, alongside some new icon options.³
• Themers rejoice — you can now hide the Dock for a cleaner home screen. You can also change even more colors, fonts, and padding.
• Are you tired of Lawnchair crashing because of widgets? We've fixed that issue; you won’t need to do some hacky workaround to add them.⁴

Alongside that, we have a new partnership with Startpage — searching with Startpage (via the dock search bar or App Drawer search) helps support Lawnchair’s development.

We still have more things to share! See the announcement on our website for more information.

¹ Experimental feature, requires opt in Lawnchair Settings.
² Requires Smartspacer and respective plugins.
³ Requires a supported icon pack .
⁴ May still persist depending on the device.

  • Mainstream cloud storage providers like Google Drive and iCloud have access to users' files, posing privacy and security risks.
  • Nextcloud is the preferred secure cloud storage option, but has drawbacks like the need for technical expertise to self-host and issues with end-to-end encryption.
  • Filen is a user-friendly secure cloud storage option, but has some concerns around encryption implementation.
  • Mega offers a large free storage plan, but has had past security issues and controversies.
  • Proton's secure cloud storage is part of their broader privacy-focused ecosystem, but has some app and feature inconsistencies.
  • Cryptomator is a useful tool to add an extra layer of encryption to any cloud storage service.
  • Apple's Advanced Data Protection is a proprietary solution that lacks transparency compared to open-source alternatives.
  • It's important to weigh the risks versus benefits when choosing a cloud storage provider based on the sensitivity of the data.
  • Switching to a more secure and privacy-focused cloud storage option is worthwhile, even for non-sensitive data.
  • The article encourages users to take steps to improve their cloud storage privacy and security, rather than relying on mainstream providers by default.

Specifically, the plug-ins are using our services in an unauthorized manner, which is causing significant economic harm to our Company.

How does this cause them "significant economic harm?" My immediate thought is they are losing out on data or ads, hence it being a privacy concern.

Haier hits Home Assistant plugin dev with takedown notice

I'm not really big on "let's make a movement", but this independent dev has been hit with a cease-and-desist from making a FOSS Home Assistant addon for their Haier air conditioners.

Haier claims that they are losing out on millions of dollars due to this plugin which... lets you control their air conditions from home assistant. They haven't bothered to explain how that's possibly worth millions of dollars - they're just claiming it.

So of course they hit the Streisand button and are demanding that he takes it down. He of course is complying... in a couple of days. Maybe you see where this is going.

It would be an absolute shame if any of you just happened to create a fork, or clone the code, or mirror it in your own instance. An absolute shame.

Just so everyone here knows which repositories NOT to clone or fork, here are the two links:

and please, don't repost this anywhere, or share it in other communities, or anything like that. It's a shame that so many people already know and are making clones. I'm just letting you know so you don't do anything like telling others who may make their own copies.

(sidenote: Haier owns GE Appliance, so for our American folks it may affect you folks too)

Please add Voyager to the Accrescent App Store, "a private and secure Android app store built with modern features in mind. It aims to provide a developer-friendly platform and pleasant user experience while enforcing modern security and privacy practices and offering robust validity guarantees for installed apps."

This app store, while small, is supposed to be more secure than alternatives. And yes it is small, but it also won't grow if devs don't add to it.

Their publishing guide and requirements can be found here: https://accrescent.app/docs/guide/publish/requirements.html

"There are no seeding rules...if you fall below a 0.5 ratio, your downloads will be disabled."

That there sounds like a seeding rule.

Pixel 8 Pro. Google's current flagship device, arguably the most secure device on the market, and is first to include Memory Tagging Extension (MTE). As such, it is supported by GrapheneOS, which I highly recommend due to the increased security and control over your own phone (starting with sandboxing the Play Store if you use it, and not giving Google full system privileges like stock/OEM OS does).

When fully integrated into the compiler and each heap allocator, MTE enforces a form of memory safety. It detects memory corruption as it happens. 4 bit tags limit it to probabilistic detection for the general case, but deterministic guarantees are possible via reserving tags.

In hardened_malloc, we deterministically prevent sequential overflows by excluding adjacent tags. We exclude a tag reserved for free tag and the previous tag used for the previous allocation in the slot to help with use-after-free detection alongside FIFO and random quarantines.

New Donation/IAP has missing background. Looks like it should have a background, but doesn't, so some words are on top of each other. This is on light mode, whereas dark mode doesn't have this issue.

v1.23.1

Edit: v1.23.2 fixes this.

That's a single person on a project with multiple contributors. He's also since stepped down. You're acting like he's the sole guy.
