L'appli de vérification d'âge envisagée par l'Europe interdit les applis non validées par Google.
androidheadlines.com/2025/07/e

Non, mais là il faut mesurer le délire. Sous prétexte de protéger les enfants (comme d'hab), il s'agirait d'obliger tout le monde à se soumettre à #Google !!!

Là, c'est tellement idiot, révoltant, impraticable, qu'on ne sait plus quoi dire.

Android Headlines · EU Age Verification App to Ban Android Apps Not Licensed by GoogleEU is testing a new Android app integrity check system into its under-development age verification protocol.

If you're unable to run the new GOV•UK app on GrapheneOS, Lineage, or any other 3rd party Android app - please leave a +1 or some more details at github.com/alphagov/govuk-mobi

(Do not be mean, aggressive, or sarcastic in that issue; you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar. Also, please don't reply to this message about how you don't need an app; a blocking often offends.)

Dang, it sounds like #Google is really trying to kill #FOSS #Android OSes.

What are my #AOSP peeps planning to do?

If OS updates get a lot slower because of this, I might have to go back to iPhone. 😭🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

UPDATE: This update from the #CalyxOS project helps answer some questions: https://calyxos.org/news/2025/06/11/android-16-plans/

It would seem that all Pixel devices will require a lot more work to port Android 16 to. It's not impossible, by any stretch, but Google has absolutely stopped helping the community in any way.

This is very bad news, all around. Not the worst news, by far, but quite bad.

I'm intrigued to know this.
Does people lurking here actually use Linux itself on their phones, or simply Android as usual?

Rummaging around (for an unrelated reason) I found my old Google Nexus 9 tablet (with keyboard). Coincidentally, it turns out that I could actually make good use of it in the very near future so I tried to get it going again. What else are weekends for? 😉

Well, after struggling with Google and its "play" store for several hours, I gave up fighting Google. Instead, I successfully restored the tablet by installing Lineage OS (version 16 aka Android v8). The Google apps did not install for some reason but who cares? I have F-droid, termux, muPDF, openssh, and Emacs! I'm all set.

In terms of hardware, it's actually quite a lovely system, with a nice screen and a very good bluetooth keyboard/case.

Am I missing anything or are all the existing operating systems for #smartphones in the #USA really limited to
1. #graphene
2. #calyx
3. #Lineage

4. #windows
5. #android with google
6. #chrome
7. #ios /apple
8. #Mac

?

As in my tech updates I'm still looking for an open source operating system that can work on a rugged smartphone (cases available for the flimsily designed hardware don't count as the device itself being rugged).

Après quelques années sur Mastodon, j'ai créé un profil décent 😉 , aussi voici mon #introduction.

Lorsque je publie, c’est sur le logiciel, alternatives #foss ou #opensource (#linux, #lineage, #xmpp, #openstreetmap), la #photography, le #streetart, l’Italie du Nord où j’habite (#torino), les lieux où mon travail m’envoie (l’Europe). Je relaie de la géopolitique, ainsi que de la politique française, italienne et internationale. Pêle-mêle, j’aime la montagne, la Bretagne et le #cinema.

Interesting story about lineage and soccer.

Callum Styles is an English footballer who plays in a second tier league and hasn’t been called up to the English nation team.

In 2020 he finds out his grandmother is Hungarian. The story appears in a match program and a BBC interview. Hungary seeks him out, they talk, and here he is, 4 years later, playing in the Euro tournament for Hungary.

Have found an old #Android tablet which I'm trying to resurrect.

How old?

Samsung n8010 running #CyanogenMod 13 😱

Has sprung back to life and is charging *incredibly* slowly.

Managed to get a modern TWRP recovery on there, so hopefully can bring it up to an unofficial #Lineage.

Not quite retrocomputing, but certainly a blast from the bast 🙂

Note to self (I don't know if anyone else has this issue):

Don't update #LineageOS on your #Fairphone before going to bed, without waiting to reboot after the update.

On my #Fairphone3 #Lineage updates always break apps until first reboot. Last time it was all browsers and email apps. Today it was my clock.
So I didn't hear my alarm to wake up in time to go to work, where I help someone out of bed, onto the toilet and into the wheelchair.
Luckily the phone app still worked and my mom called just minutes before I had to leave.
Without caring for my dog (which my mom will now do) and doing my sports routine, I only need two minutes in the morning.

Anyway, I learned my lesson.
