It's good. I did have to re-order the search providers, putting Serper and Linkup as the top two. It's not good if you rely heavily on image search, but there is a prominent referral button to other search providers; I have DDG set up for that. It's cool you can sign up with just an account number.

I see different figures, from mid to high 70% penetration rate to 88% penetration rate of smartphones in EU. That still leaves 12% of EU's population (54 million people) unable to access key services due to age verfication.
If the issue is protecting kids from what social media and other platforms show them, then the pressure should be on those platforms to fix the issue, not on the entire EU population of all ages.

Pinephone won't be a good experience as a daily driver at all. It's very slow and more for experimentation with Linux apps. I would maybe try a Pixel 8 or higher with GrapheneOS.

I recognise all of that too. The quibbles seem to go both ways for some reason; I wish Graphene would drop it and let their excellent product speak for itself. I don't now why they are so concerned about marketing.

ok, I see. The article I wrote is aimed at people who don't know how to or don't feel familiar with flashing a custom ROM. It's intended as a first step.
About the bootloader, it is my understanding (I could be wrong, I should add!) that if you walk around with an unlocked phone, then someone who finds it and has the know-how could quite easily get into your phone (with your data on it).

2026-04-17 10:38:48 UTC

- reply

I have used those methods too, especially on kids' phones. One issue is that you have to leave the bootloader unlocked with /e/OS, which is not secure. As second is that it's not entirely clear what is or what isn't happening with Google services on /e/OS; not technical enough to understand. My own phone is GrapheneOS atm.

I’m confused as to why Von der Leyen is referring to “an app” (3:05 min) in her Age Verification announcement this week (https://audiovisual.ec.europa.eu/en/stories/M-009975).
I doesn't read like there will be one app for all EU citizens:
“One common set of standards and specifications, many different wallets”
“Every Member State will need to provide its citizens with at least one EUDI wallet.”
“Start building your EU Digital Identity Wallet solutions”
https://ec.europa.eu/digital-building-blocks/sites/spaces/EUDIGITALIDENTITYWALLET/pages/869793973/Technical+Specifications
She (or her writers) should have said “software protocol” or something like that.

Hi there, you've gone a bit deeper with this approach than I have! I think if you want to go that far, then I'd probably just try something like #grapheneos instead.
It seems to be that any type of factory reset will just start you from scratch though.

That was a very click-bait-y title, which the article does not deliver on. The article also doesn't mention that the process of verifying student work and challenging authenticity of submitted work is time-consuming and tends to sour the student-teacher and teacher-parent relationship.

I had a conversation with a friend who lives in Australia today. He said that his family members with teenage kids are saying that it’s ‘business as usual’ for Australian teens on social media. They find workarounds that quickly get shared amongst them. I wonder if the Australian government will do an assessment of the impact of their recent ban. It would be cynical if they didn’t.
Coincidentally, this came up in my news feed today as well:

Google Says Developer Verification Makes Android Safer. Critics Say It Just Makes Android More Closed
https://itsfoss.com/news/android-developer-verification/
“Under the new rules, F-Droid has no workable path forward. Compelling volunteer contributors to register their identities with Google runs against what the platform stands for.
“But claiming those app identifiers on developers’ behalf is equally impossible, since that would give F-Droid a kind of exclusive ownership over apps it has no right to own.
“F-Droid has been clear that if Google goes through this, it effectively ends the project as it currently exists.”

Yes, several people on forums say it is. When you read the documentation for UT or Droidian they all start with "Make sure you downgrade to Android 9 first" but nowhere do they explain how to do that if you already have a Linux os installed.

Reading the website, I get the feeling it's not designed to install other Linux mobile OS's on it.

Over 2000 euros for a phone, and 1300 the most discounted option - that is steep. Reading the site, it seems you can only use it with LiberuxOS.

What is the difference between Microsoft Copilot and a Microsoft Copilot+ laptop??
This article is useful in light of yesterday's news about them bringing back Recall on Copilot+ hardware:

There are very few users at the moment that will have to deal with Recall, but it only takes on Copilot+ laptop to start taking automatic and regular screenshots of messages in a private Signal group!
