smileyhead , to technology in Signal and Threema want nothing to do with WhatsApp

Whatsapp runs on all devices

Nope. Android, iOS, Windows and Mac are not all devices. And web versions are far from ideal (some may suggest expanding web capabilities, but please don’t).

Yep, all the EU done is forced websites to have consent if the website want to process personal data. There are many analytics that does not process IP address or fingerprint and so does not require consent banner. Be annoyed on the websites, not this law.

It’s different, because not being forced to use their app and have WhatsApp account to still talk to someone there?

smileyhead , to technology in Signal and Threema want nothing to do with WhatsApp

Unfortunetly no. Can be shown when you reset the encryption keys, relogin and see that times of messages, who you are talking with and even reactions are visible. But I know for reactions and replies they are working on it.

Every Matrix protocol server, excluding some experimental or internal for a company ones, are federating? And it’s not an app as you can choose an app, the protocol defines client<>server spec too.

smileyhead , to linux in which linux phone is the most promising?

This is a problem with the current industry, smartphones are conceptually no different than any other computer. It’s Qualcomm not publishing proper documentation and tools, propietary bootloaders, drivers being baked as Android packages, no specification how main processor can talk to a modem…

smileyhead , to linux in which linux phone is the most promising?

Which one? Android SDK source is under Apache licence, but binaries are under EULA. There were some efforts to properly package it under free licencje, but currently no one do it.

As for Android being giant blob, maybe not the best word but it really is barely available to change. If I want to add a new feature to the UI, I need to build whole ROM again and deal with Google’s developing platforms. While on Linux you can get the code for a component from some GitHub/Codeberg and modify/reinstall just that component.

smileyhead , to linux in which linux phone is the most promising?

You can’t even compile any of those FOSS apps without running propietary build of Android SDK. No one managed to build current versions of Android SDK from the source code yet.

Android is like one big blob and changing anything in it require giant effort. Meanwhile making new feature for a Linux phone with common Linux tech stack is super easy and any mid-tier developer can change something in Phosh for example.

smileyhead , to linux in which linux phone is the most promising?

Try to compile just the Android SDK yourself. No one even knows if this is possible (if all the source code needed is there).

As EU dropped their app from the list of gatekeepers, they have no need to adopt abandoned protocol laying around and pretend to be open like Google do.

The benefits are there, some of ideas out of my head:

Better networking for administrator, access to /etc/hosts file, not being tied to a single VPN slot.

Using old mobile phone as a simple server, having access to firewall tools and normal remote control.

Installing simplier graphical interface for eldery people.

Lifetime updates for many system components that are not device specific.

Simple backups and cloning with standard tools like rsync or borgbackup instead of Google Drive. Also backing up whole system.

Everyone can add a feature, you can make a difference, no need to mess with Google’s Android developing pipeline.

Making native apps for mobile and desktop at the same time, no need for bloated web-like abstraction layers.

Apps made in Python, C, Rust… No need to fit into Android SDK. And no forcing Android SDK and Android Studio!

Customizations of the interface look via CSS files (Phosh have it to some sort).

Someone give more ideas?

smileyhead , to asklemmy in What thing do you love that you can never get anyone else to check out?

Factorio! Yeah, I always wanted to try multiplayer with someone of my friends, but never ever anyone wanted to even try the demo.

smileyhead , to technology in Google gets its way, bakes a user-tracking ad platform directly into Chrome

Only a matter of time when Chromium operating subsystem start to be incompatible with Firefox.

So, all those years creating “web standards” are for nothing, as turned out with too many standards no one is able to implement them, leaving only one existing browser to still operate. We won’t even know if websites are compatible with a standard anymore, because Chrome interpretation might me different from any other.
