#Audi CEO Gernot Döllner spricht bei einer Wahlkampfveranstaltung von Donald #Trump.
Ich hatte vor Jahren mal einen A6. Aber viele Probleme. Der Service von Audi war völlig inakzeptabel. Seitdem meide ich die Firma. Jetzt habe ich noch einen Grund mehr.

You can't make this up. A so-called social media network is banning ads because they include social topics.
"Theatre told that #Facebook and #Instagram filter out #ads mentioning ‘social topics’ such as civil rights or #feminism"
"A theatre in #Barcelona has been banned from promoting a stage adaptation of Virginia Woolf’s A Room of One’s Own on Instagram and Facebook because the work includes “social topics”.
#meta replied to a request :
"any mention of civil rights, feminism or social reform [topics that are central to Woolf’s work] are usually classified as ‘social topics’ by our automatic system” and are filtered out."

thanks for the super fast and explaining response.
I get from you that it works fine and performs fine, that you are considering offering a Pixel 11 GOS version? Or is it too early to say?

2026-09-07 05:59:51 UTC

#gos @npub1kwa…e0nj has initially said that their might be a lack of MTE support in pixel 11.
Now I read this:
GrapheneOS finds Pixel 11 does have hardware support for MTE after all
The discovery came after Google released Android 17 QPR2 Beta 4. It is now testing whether the feature works properly and how much it affects performance.
So is there hope?

Demzufolge haben 43% der befragten Jugendlichen zwischen 12 und 19 schon einmal erotische oder aufreizende Fotos und Videos von anderen Teenagern auf ihrem Handy oder Computer erhalten. Solche Inhalte selbst verschickt haben insgesamt elf Prozent. 11% heisst übersetzt, in jeder deutschen Schulklasse sitzen 2-3 Teenager, die Nackbilder oder Nackvideos von sich oder anderen versenden.

additionally, every website you visit you should check if it's hosted in the Google Cloud because that would mean it's not Google Free either.
So the question is, what is the definition of Google Free? For me, it is by default no connections to any Google server, no usage of any Google app, etc. And the control is fully with the user.
And with this definition, as far as I know, there is only #grapheneOS.
Others seem to connect at least to the captive portal or supl or connectivity checks to google server

startpage wurde von system1, einer amerikanischen Werbefirma, gekauft.
Das finde ich jetzt auch nicht so prall.
Außerdem finde ich die Aussage, dass die CIA bei AWS ist und man daher DuckDuckGo nicht nutzen sollte nicht ausreichend. Was will der Autor damit sagen?
Dass die CIA daher die Daten sehen kann? Das ist quatsch. Aber: Die Cloudanbieter der USA müssen Daten auf Anfrage herausgeben, egal ob die CIA den selben Hoster verwendet.
Ich finde die Begründung, keine amerikanischen Clouds zu verwenden oder zu unterstützen sehr viel stärker. Denn wenn es danach geht, dürfte man fast keinen Computer kaufen, weil die meisten in China gefertigt werden, ähnlich Handys usw.

@npub1mjj…a2m6 is it possible to use a normal USB-C charger with your notebooks, particularly the darter pro? For example, could I use the white cable and adapter from Apple notebooks for your notebook?

I installed #gos experimental today on a Pixel10 pro. It went absolutely smoothly. Thanks guys for the great work.

Are there any known issues flashing the experimental #GOS on a Pixel 10 Pro?

so if I understand this correctly, I can just use my pixel 10 and install the experimental version of GraphinOS exactly in the same way as I have done all the final releases on previous phones?

the last #gos @npub1kwa…e0nj update seems to have fixed a battery issue I had with my pixel 8 pro.
It did not last a day anymore for some time. It is 1,5 years old. But now it survives a day easily again. Not sure about the reason, cannot be my usage (or not at least this dramatically), so must be the latest update…

thanks for this.
It reminded me of a proverb:
-A fool with a tool is still a fool.-
The new economy bubble burst as well and lots of companies from then are gone. But still something is left. And not a little bit.
I guess this will be the case here as well.
On the other hand, Google, apple, Meta have loads of cash. Companies like anthropic or openai or or or may be soon sucked up, maybe by MS, maybe by Apple etc.
What worries me most are two things:
1. We use AI and vast resources to create artificial cat videos, summarize phishing emails and many other things not adding real value to our lives.
2. I believe I read and heard, from smarter people, that the transformer model architecture is not sufficient. But we stopped researching for new solutions.

your worries are fundamentally wrong.
Depending on OS but you give access to mic or cam per App. And when you give access to app a and prohibit for app b b has no access. Apps are sandboxed.
Facebook has violated some things in the past, but that led the operating system providers to improve the security.

that i get a message when they try to access any of those. And hence it is my decision if I allow them. Additionally I see a light when my can or mic are active

the problem, as it appears to me is, that even if I do not use and want it, the other side may still do so and hence use my chats, my pics, my data with the AI at hand, sharing it with Meta, Google, Apple or whoever… How can I protect myself from this? I can’t. I only see two ways:
I speak with each one of my contacts and ask them to respect my privacy. It took me years to get everyone on Threema, now I have to do this again
Second: the providers of the messenger apps should have an indicator on my chat if my opponent uses AI. Not really and not always possible and I am sure Meta will never do this.

I think we can only state that:
1. Currently the fairphone does not offer hardware acceptable for GOS
2. No one can predict the future.
I am sure, when fairphone offers hardware which is acceptable, GOS will seriously consider it
For me: Case closed your honor

point taken. But still,to me it’s a shame, it would be the best of two worlds… a repairable, upgradable phone with a replaceable battery and a secure privacy friendly GOS.
Sad, this does not work
