Host Europe & DomainFactory are migrating their users' emails to MS 365 – and users are not happy. 🀯

GoDaddy turned trusted German hosters into a textbook case of #enshittification.

Time to switch to truly European alternatives. ✌️

Screenshot of a tweet - β€œAfter over 15 years as a customer with #Hosteurope, canceled, after they said that all email accounts had to be migrated to Outlook without being asked and against an extra fee. Was a sack full of work having to move 18 websites and domains...” - with the title #enshittification

How GoDaddy hollowed out Host Europe & DomainFactory (plus better European web hoster providers) | Tuta

Have two of the best European web hosting companies become an example of "enshittification" on the internet?

By now you know that Microsoft is now defaulting to saving new Word documents directly to OneDrive. I guess Excel will be the next inline. The cynical take is that this is incredibly convenient for them, especially if they plan on using that data to train future LLMs. Imagine paying for software only to have your data automatically funneled into their cloud. Plus, what happens when you're offline and need those files? Just use the LibreOffice and just say no to all Microsoft products.

We’re not living in our new house until mid-November, giving us time to make modifications and get things moved in.
But already, we have great security, and the ability to issue keys to the house that live in Apple Wallet. It’s incredibly configurable. For example, if we have a cleaner who agrees to visit on a Wednesday from 1 to 3 PM, we can issue them a key that only works during those hours, then revoke the key entirely if needed. Talk about living the dream.
For those in MD, I’m working with a company called Project IOT. It’s a small family company and Patrick, the guy who owns it, is enjoying the challenge of geek maximization alongside #accessibility maximization. And we’ve only just begun this journey. We have a clear pathway mapped out and an understanding of how to get there.

Skim Reading in JAWS helps you quickly browse long documents by reading just the first line or sentence of each paragraph.

Use CTRL+INSERT+DOWN ARROW (or CTRL+CAPS LOCK+DOWN ARROW on laptops) to start.

Open the Skim Reading dialog with CTRL+SHIFT+INSERT+DOWN ARROW (or CTRL+SHIFT+CAPS LOCK+DOWN ARROW) to change what’s read or create custom rules.

You can also generate a summary to view and jump to key sections. Get an overview without reading every word, learn more: youtu.be/SlrhFcXw5yg?si=FUCGtc…

I’m pleased to see Vispero talking up skim reading in JAWS. People don’t often talk about it but it’s a powerful feature. Perhaps a little less relevant in a world of AI summaries, but still very powerful. For example, if you work somewhere that produces lists where activities for your department are highlighted in a certain color, you can set up a skim reading rule to present only those tasks to you.

Seeking music made with OSARA by a person who might be female, trans, nonbinary or similarly underrepresented. I'm gonna be re-recording a walkthrough of installing and configuring on Windows and I'd like to have something good playing at the end.

Asking as blatantly as this is clumsy, but I reckon it could reach someone who wouldn't have put themselves forward without knowing I'm on the hunt, that's why I'm running at representation with all the grace of a wrestler clotheslining a hatstand full of saucepans. Please note: that's not necessarily what your music has to sound like.

If you've got some music that you made using OSARA, please reply or DM with a link I can check out. Boosts and intros appreciated. Cheers!

Paperback 0.5 is out, sporting the largest changelog in Paperback's history thus far! We even had a new contributor majorly assist in adding a new document format! Full changelog:
* Added Microsoft Word document support!
* Added support for PowerPoint presentations!
* Fixed certain menu items not being disabled with no documents open.
* Fixed the orientation of the go to percent slider.
* Fixed the table of contents in Epub books with URL-encoded file paths and/or fragment IDs.
* Fixed whitespace being stripped from XHTML headings in weird ways.
* Fixed whitespace handling inside of nested pre tags in HTML documents.
* HTML and Markdown documents now support the table of contents feature! When you load an HTML/Markdown document, Paperback will build its own table of contents out of the structure of the headings in your document, and it will show that to you in the control+t dialog.
* HTML documents will now have the title as set in the title tag, if it exists. Otherwise, they'll continue to use the filename without the extension.
* Switched from UniversalSpeech to using a live region to report speech. This means no screen reader DLLs are shipped alongside the program anymore, and more screen readers will now be supported, such as Microsoft Narrator.
* Switched zip libraries to allow for opening a wider array of epub books.
* The dialog asking you if you want to open your document as plain text has been completely redone, and it now allows you to open your document as plain text, HTML, or Markdown.
* The go to percent dialog now includes a text field allowing you to manually input a percentage to jump to.
* The HTML parser will now recognize dd, dt, and dl as list elements.
* The table of contents in Epub books will once again be preserved exactly.
* The Unicode non-breaking space is now considered when stripping blank lines.
* You will no longer be asked how you want to open an unrecognized file every single time you load it, only the first time.

GrapheneOS version 2025100900 released

One of the changes in this release should result in Google Messages RCS working for users receiving a verification error caused by Play Store checking for an emulator with an easy to bypass check. It was already working for many users without this but this should get it working for everyone else.

Tags:

  • 2025100900 (Pixel 6, Pixel 6 Pro, Pixel 6a, Pixel 7, Pixel 7 Pro, Pixel 7a, Pixel Tablet, Pixel Fold, Pixel 8, Pixel 8 Pro, Pixel 8a, Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Pro XL, Pixel 9 Pro Fold, Pixel 9a, emulator, generic, other targets)

Changes since the 2025100300 release:

  • raise security patch level to 2025-10-05 since it's already provided without applying any additional patches
  • System Updater, Setup Wizard: integrate support for recommending opting into security preview releases during the initial Owner user setup and for existing users via a persistent notification which is disabled after making an explicit choice on whether to use security preview releases (this is necessary to inform all users about the option with an explicit choice)
  • Settings: add support for forcing VoWiFi availability
  • Settings: improve the carrier configuration override by improving the summaries, adding detailed descriptions and using clarifying the options force features to be available since there are also toggles for directly enabling/disabling the features in the main SIM settings screen
  • Sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer: fix a Google Messages RCS compatibility issue by removing the error string for the missing privileged permission from SurfaceFlinger::doDump() to make a DroidGuard check pass
  • Sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer: make Play Store ignore app auto-install config
  • Sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer: fix Build.getSerial() shim to fix an Android Auto issue
  • Sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer: add stub for TelephonyManager.getImei()
  • Sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer: add stub for Window.setHideOverlayWindows() to replace reliance on a feature flag override via GmsCompatConfig
  • kernel (6.1): update to latest GKI LTS branch revision including update to 6.1.155
  • update test suite to handle our carrier overrides support
  • Vanadium: update to version 141.0.7390.70.0
  • Camera: update to version 90

All of the Android 16 security patches from the current November 2025, December 2025 and January 2026 Android Security Bulletins are included in the 2025100901 security preview release. List of additional fixed CVEs:

  • Critical: CVE-2025-48593
  • High: CVE-2022-25836, CVE-2022-25837, CVE-2023-40130, CVE-2024-43766, CVE-2025-22420, CVE-2025-22432, CVE-2025-32319, CVE-2025-32348, CVE-2025-48525, CVE-2025-48536, CVE-2025-48544, CVE-2025-48555, CVE-2025-48567, CVE-2025-48572, CVE-2025-48573, CVE-2025-48574, CVE-2025-48575, CVE-2025-48576, CVE-2025-48577, CVE-2025-48578, CVE-2025-48579, CVE-2025-48580, CVE-2025-48581, CVE-2025-48582, CVE-2025-48583, CVE-2025-48584, CVE-2025-48585, CVE-2025-48586, CVE-2025-48587, CVE-2025-48589, CVE-2025-48590, CVE-2025-48592, CVE-2025-48594, CVE-2025-48596, CVE-2025-48597, CVE-2025-48598, CVE-2025-48600, CVE-2025-48601, CVE-2025-48602, CVE-2025-48603, CVE-2025-48604, CVE-2025-48605, CVE-2025-48607, CVE-2025-48609, CVE-2025-48612, CVE-2025-48614, CVE-2025-48615, CVE-2025-48616, CVE-2025-48617, CVE-2025-48618, CVE-2025-48619, CVE-2025-48620, CVE-2025-48621, CVE-2025-48622, CVE-2025-48626, CVE-2025-48628, CVE-2025-48629

CVE-2025-48595 was fixed in the regular GrapheneOS 2025100300 release and is no longer listed.

CVE-2025-48611 patch was retracted.

2025100901 provides at least the full 2025-11-01 patch level and the Android 2025-11-05 patch level (Pixel Update Bulletin could have fixes we don't get early) but will remain marked as providing 2025-10-05.

Security Patch Preview Release and Next GrapheneOS Release

Android Security Bulletin (ASB) for October 2025 is empty:

source.android.com/docs/securi…

However, you can see Samsung has a list of ASB patches for their October 2025 release exclusive to flagships:

security.samsungmobile.com/sec…

It's a small subset of the December 2025 patches.

Android now discloses patches around 3 months prior to their inclusion in a bulletin requiring them to raise the Android security patch level. However, OEMs are allowed to ship the patches as soon as they're receive. We're doing this in our security preview release, but with the full set of patches.

Our initial security preview release on September 25th with the November/December patches included 1 Critical severity patch and 54 High severity patches, which is the full subset applicable to Android 16. In the past couple days, 5 patches applicable to Android 16 were added and 1 was retracted.

December 2025 patches from the past couple days have been included and the January 2026 preview is now available.

Our next release coming today provides a choice to use our security preview releases in the initial setup wizard with a notification for existing users. Opting into it is recommended.

discuss.grapheneos.org/d/27068… provides more information on our security preview releases. The reason we're providing both regular and security preview releases is because we're required to wait to the embargo end date to publish the source code for the patches in the future bulletins.

If you, like me, are being constantly subscribed to substacks without your consent, you can go to this link and turn on the setting called "Require email verification when subscribing".
Presumably, this will stop unwanted subscriptions altogether. There is also a button to "Unsubscribe from all publications and emails", which might be useful if you're not staying on top of your unsubscribe links and you don't willingly subscribe to anything on that site.
I've been added to several email lists which are paid memberships with free article previews, so my e-mail gets flooded with posts I can't actually read in full without paying. The paywalled email spam is clearly an attempt to draw more users in, so even if the posts themselves look legit, this is quite a shady practice.
Adding email addresses without the user's consent is a violation of Substack terms of service, but I haven't figured out how to report profiles for doing this. The site is mostly accessible but has enough unlabeled buttons that i'm probably just missing it. Reddit threads suggest Substack isn't known for doing anything about it, and (at risk of spitballing a bit) I imagine Substack keeps a percentage of what their writers earn, so it makes business sense to continue allowing these unwanted mass-imports until they get in trouble for it.

Op zaterdag 11 oktober 2025 kan je naar allerlei activiteiten in het kader van de nacht van de duisternis. Ik ben niet voor een duistere toekomst... maar het is wel belangrijk dat het 's nachts donker is. We moeten verlichten wat moet verlicht worden. De rest is energieverspilling en slecht voor mens, dier en natuur.

πŸ‘‹ Watt’s up, Europe?

The numbers of electric vehicles sold in Europe in 2024 are in:

⚑ 1.45 million new battery-only EVs registered
πŸ“ˆ +32% growth in the total electric fleet
πŸš— Nearly 6 million e-vehicles on the road
πŸ”‹ 13.6% of all new car registrations are electric

Europe is accelerating full throttle to a clean future.

Read more: link.europa.eu/cNKjkh

A color-coded map of Europe titled "Share of electric vehicles sold in each EU country in 2024," showing the share of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) as a percentage of total new passenger car registrations. The EU average is 13.5%. Countries with the highest shares (>20%, darkest shade) include Sweden (35%), Netherlands (34.5%), Finland (29.5%), Luxembourg (27.4%), Belgium (28%), and Denmark (51%). Other countries like France (16.5%), Portugal (19.9%), and Austria (17.5%) are also in the <20% range. Several Eastern and Southern European countries (including Italy, Spain, Poland, and Czechia) have shares below 10% (the lightest shades).

1.45 million new battery-only electric cars in 2024

In 2024, 1.45 million new battery-only electric passenger cars were registered in the EU, a decrease of 6.1% compared with 2023 (1.55 million). This brought the total number of battery-only electric cars to 5.
