It’s too late for the US, but the European Union and Canada should step in to ban for-profit social media platforms owned by Americans. Fediverse was really a great idea. Create social media platforms that cannot be controlled by oligarchs.
American social media companies are destroying democracy everywhere and AI will make it worse. #musk #meta #oligarchy #amazon #google #microsoft

Google Discover kommt nach jahrelangen Tests nun auch auf den Desktop.
Neue Renderbilder der #PixelWatch 4 zeigen: Das Design bleibt weitgehend unverändert. Doch die fehlenden Ladekontakte deuten auf drahtloses Laden hin. Auch ein dickeres Gehäuse könnte kommen. #Google https://winfuture.de/news,150278.html?utm_source=Mastodon&utm_medium=ManualStatus&utm_campaign=SocialMedia
Interested in favicons that go missing in Google Search? I just updated my blog post covering the topic based on helping another site owner last week. It was an interesting situation... What appeared to be a 96x96 pixel favicon (which is fine) WAS NOT 96 pixels wide. After downloading it, I noticed the graphic was only *75* pixels wide on a 96 pixel background.
You can read more about this in my post:

Von der Leyen erwägt Abgaben für US-Tech-Firmen
Im Zollkonflikt mit den USA ist die EU laut Kommissionschefin von der Leyen zu Vergeltungsmaßnahmen bereit. So seien Abgaben für US-Digitalkonzerne eine Möglichkeit, falls die Verhandlungen scheitern.
"A month ago, we reported that Google was testing linking words in the AI Overviews back to its own search results. We felt this set a horrible message but hey, Google did not, instead, Google made it an official feature of AI Overviews because it helps 'people more easily explore topics and discover relevant websites,' the company told me."

"Google is offering the entire federal government — and each federal agency — a 71% discount off current pricing on its Workspace software suite through Sept. 30 in an agreement reached with the General Services Administration effective April 10."
How does using the #Jolla #JollaC2 (@jolla) with #SailfishOS for about a week as a daily driver now (with my old #iPhone at home as a backup)?
In general, it works much better than I had hoped after my experiences with other alternative #smartphone systems and it indeed is the first (and so far only) system that indeed works quite well. Also at around 285€ (https://commerce.jolla.com/products/jolla-community-phone) it isn't too expensive, so one can simply try it out.
There are a few limitations though:
* I am really missing biometric unlocking
* There is no predictive text input, so typing could be more comfy
* The UX experience sometimes feels strange (but no no-gos for me)
* It is not a snappy and fast device
* Audio quality is so-so
* GPS really needs a GPS signal, so no WIFI-based location
What is great:
* It is a real #Linux, so it has a #terminal, #sshd, you can e.g. use the #Nix package manager etc.
* Android apps are running in a container
* You can have different users to limit data access
Unfortunately there are nearly no high-quality native apps so far and the built-in ones are very basic (e.g. email).
But: The #Android compatibility layer is very good, the system comes with #Fdroid and #AuroraStore (#Google store front-end) pre-installed, so you can easily install practically all official Android apps.
Most apps work very well, some (especially banking) apps do not though as they complain that the system is rooted, so YMMV regarding the apps you need.
In general I am really happy with this system.
And: All the de-ggoglefied Android phones like the #Volla will always still remain just that: A more limited Android. SailfishOS offers a path towards powerful native (#Qt/#QML/#Cplusplus/#Python/you name it) based apps.
I am hoping that Jolla will provide a significantly more powerful device option and that some of the problems above will be solved.
But already now, even with the limitations above, if you are somewhat technically inclined (but without the need to fiddle with a command line unlike with the open mobile Linux distributions), want to get rid of #Google or #Apple for whatever reason, want a #Linux #smartphone, support a #European company from #Finland, this phone is really usable.

Nur, wenn man das auch in deren Cloud synct. Man kann das auch abschalten, statt die integriere Mailapp freie, daremschutzfreundliche #OpenSource #Apps wie #FairEmail, #Firefox usw. nutzen, #Apps aus alternativen #Appstores wie #Fdroid installieren, Apps, die kein Internet brauchen, dieses entziehen (z.B. mit #Netguard). Und #Android geht auch komplett ohne #Google.
