The Satellite SOS function of the new Google Pixel Phones functions via a preinstalled ESim by Skylo. This ESim still is installed if you Install grapheneOS. But I didn't find any secure information, wether it's possible to send an emergency Message via Satellite via this ESim under grapheneOS.
Can someone Help?

We don't have a way to use it yet. We did add partial support for it to avoid the Skylo eSIM showing up as a regular eSIM and getting wiped when erasing eSIMs. We don't have the high-level parts to use it. It could be similar to how we support Android Auto but it's a super rarely used feature and hard to find the time to deal with it. It would also potentially be problematic for us to test it.

This might be an awkward question.
How is "AI-dependency leading to skill reduction" different to "promoted to manager, delegating everything so leading to skill reduction"?
What did every organisation in the past about people whose skills faded as they got promoted?
@channelOwen It's the micro- vs the macro-, the way I see it. An individual starts at entry level, builds their skillset as a developer, and gains the knowledge and qualifications to provide oversight to other developers working their way up.
Management is its own skillset, so as they build that skillset, their development skills might wane. Over time, they become more of a people-manager than a day-to-day development supervisor — that's the path they ended up on.
@channelOwen What I worry about isn't _a_ developer deskilling (or reskilling) over time — what I worry about is an entire up-and-coming generation of developers that find it harder and harder to claw their way up from "entry level" because of the tools foisted on them by those obsessed with faster, cheaper "output." I worry about the deskilling, and devaluing, of _web developers_.
@channelOwen Compare that to starting at entry level and _immediately_ delegating. How much is the development of their own skillset impaired by being able to offload the day-to-day grind? How do they operate in a supervisory role — supervising the tools — when _starting_ from delegation? How do they advance from "entry level" in the first place?

@SteveFaulkner Oh wow, just saw your git post asking who was maintaining ARC. I’m so behind the times…. I was almost about to cheekily ask you here if you knew why it (apparently) fails to run on Chrome now.
If I “just” want a great extension for a11y testing, is chasing ARC still a good idea or do you recommend another?
I liked it and am converted. A good feature set, OK UI, and critically, feels maintained & worthy of standardising on. Found this youtube.com/watch?v=FQSlro1bvW… which helped me familiarise. I liked the aXe UI more but now I’m up to speed on the IBM there’s nothing I miss too much and some stuff that’s better such as examples/info; a win. Sad that aXe ended up feeling like a dusty/unloved funnel :/
Tks lots for the recommend 👍

So if everyone is against smart glasses in this community, does that mean you'll all also stop using/boycott iPhones/watches that auto record chats without people's knowledge? Genuinely interested where that stands with you all.

i’ll not stop because i’m not using them and i find that thing to be just about as creepy as the glasses
also, what you probably didn’t notice (because of course this wasn’t advertised as a feature), macos 27 (as of beta 8) doesn’t let you disable “ai features” anymore
so, previously they were opt-in, and now they aren’t even opt-out

Set it to Adaptive in the display color mode settings. Saturated was broken on newer Pixels and not supported on the stock OS so we removed it for now. If it's going to be added by GrapheneOS as we were doing then it needs to be done differently.

"As ARTICLE 19’s recent research on DNS abuse shows, this is not an isolated incident. The report documents this pattern across very different jurisdictions: activists in India whose campaign websites vanished without warning or explanation, the Belarusian Association of Journalists losing its domain in exile, Catalan referendum domains seized ahead of the 2017 vote, and Nicaraguan outlets in exile blocked from using ‘.ni’. This is what our report describes as ‘damming a river to catch a fish’."

Did you hear about the UK government report on ecosystem collapse? It was created not only by the environment department but also intelligence agencies like MI5 and MI6. Reporters were invited to see the unveiling of this report in October 2025 - but at the last minute the Prime Minister blocked it!

No es que WhatsApp sea santo de mi devoción en temas de privacidad, pero tiene cifrado de extremo a extremo y configuraciones que proporcionan ciertas garantías de que el contenido de los mensajes no lo va a leer un tercero. No me sorprende que el CNI lo utilice. Aquí en Mastodon os molesta porque sois así, pero pensad que podrían estar comunicándose por Instagram, donde el cifrado no existe, y la cosa sería mucho peor. O por un IRC o un XMPP mal configurados.
Canales seguros tienen. Estaría bueno que dependiendo el Centro Criptológico Nacional del CNI no los tuviera. ¿Por qué usó WhatsApp y una llamada de teléfono sin cifrar? Supongo que no lo consideraron Información clasificada. Tampoco había por qué guardar el secreto, a esas alturas o ya sabían que lo sabíamos o no importaba que lo supieran. A los servicios marroquíes les enviaron una nota oficial; si Israel o Estados Unidos no se hubiesen percatado Marruecos se lo hubiese contado.
¿seguro que tiene cifrado de extremo a extremo? Eso es lo que dice Meta...
Lo más interesante es que Meta bien puede subir una versión a la Play Store que contenga un bonito condicional que filtre datos sólo para usuarios específicos. O que pinche la comunicación en el otro extremo, de una manera indetectable para la persona específica.
Entiendo que hay investigadores independientes buscando la fama encontrando algo así, así que es más complicado, pero...

Here's what most people in the online world won't tell you: recovering from autistic burnout is a long process. It may take years.
A client said to me recently: “I’ve been off work for five weeks and I’ve basically made no progress.” He was alarmed. So were his parents, who he was living with again. But... 1/3
#AutisticBurnout #BurnoutRecovery #Burnout #ActuallyAutistic
𝙁𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙬𝙚𝙚𝙠𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙙𝙪𝙘𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙣𝙤 𝙫𝙞𝙨𝙞𝙗𝙡𝙚 𝙞𝙢𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙞𝙨 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙥𝙡𝙚𝙩𝙚𝙡𝙮 𝙣𝙤𝙧𝙢𝙖𝙡 𝙞𝙣 𝙖 𝙙𝙚𝙚𝙥 𝙗𝙪𝙧𝙣𝙤𝙪𝙩. It took years to empty the reserves. They’re not refilling in five weeks. Expecting them to is like expecting a bank account with a decade of overdrafts to be back in the black after one paycheck.
My major burnouts typically took between a year and three years to recover to a meaningful degree. So go easy on yourself and take it one turtle step at a time.
