🕯 **Операция «Анти-Google»: Госдума готовит цифровое лоботомирование**
В российской власти снова обнаружили источник всех бед — Google. Оказалось, что американская корпорация тайно мешает суверенитету, экономике и, вероятно, хорошему урожаю. Поэтому в Госдуме аккуратно достали лом и начали обсуждать «постепенные ограничения». Не запрет, нет. Медленное, заботливое удушение.
Идеолог процесса — депутат Андрей Свинцов. План простой, как чугунный утюг: если данные хранятся не там, где хочется депутату, значит данные вражеские. А раз вражеские — надо отучить население ими пользоваться. Сначала бизнес, потом обычные люди, потом — «а вы и не заметили, как стало лучше».
Под раздачу потенциально идёт всё: поиск, почта, YouTube, Android-сервисы. Это подаётся как «мягкое выдавливание», хотя по факту выглядит как попытка вытащить зуб через ухо.
**Что это означает на практике, без заклинаний:**
Android внезапно вспомнит, что он не отечественный. Google Play Services — та самая невидимая начинка, без которой приложения начинают вести себя как обиженные коты. Обновления ломаются, push-уведомления умирают, карты тупят. Телефон, правда, не превращается в кирпич — звонить и писать SMS всё ещё можно. Добро пожаловать в 2003 год, только дороже.
YouTube и Gmail официально превращаются в экстремистский контент — пока вы не включите VPN и не притворитесь финном. Власть искренне удивляется, что VPN всё ещё существуют, и параллельно пытается запретить их так, чтобы ими начали пользоваться даже пенсионеры.
Банки — редкий остров рациональности. Им Google не нужен. Деньги ходят по «Миру», СБП и НСПК. Банкоматы не взорвутся, наличка выдаётся, онлайн-банкинг жив. Максимум — Google Pay уходит в закат, а ему на смену выходит Mir Pay с выражением лица «я старался».
Интернет целиком не рухнет. Его давно готовят к осадному режиму: суверенный, скрепный, с фильтрацией и рекомендацией «перейти на отечественный аналог». Google просто станет очередной жертвой эксперимента «а что если выколоть один глаз — станет ли лучше видно».
**Контекст для понимания:**
Roblox, FaceTime, Snapchat уже ушли в категорию «экстремизм по настроению». WhatsApp — следующий кандидат. Логика простая: если сервис не контролируется, значит подозрителен. Если подозрителен — вреден. Если вреден — запретить. Наука, IT и реальность в обсуждении не участвуют.
Итог не апокалипсис, а привычная деградация по расписанию. Не «всё сдохло», а «всё стало хуже, но постепенно, чтобы не пугать». Населению рекомендуют адаптироваться: скачать офлайн-карты, привыкнуть к альтернативам и не задавать лишних вопросов.
Суверенный интернет — это когда у тебя всё работает, но как будто назло.

for me the most important is that it must answer calls in all the messengers, from bare phone to WhatsApp to Telegram to Teams to Signal, you name it. And on Android it's a freaking quest to answer a call, each and every time. It's a good system, I like its openness and stuff, but while it doesn't allow me to simply answer a simple call reliably and while it has those atrocious keyboard issues… sorry, no. #Android #Accessibility #TalkBack


I feel like the android keyboard is really bad with talkback at the moment. Like, really bad.
This morning when I was in the car I had an issue with my Pixel Buds. I wanted to google it, but this is where the issue appeared:
As you may know, typing on Android devices with Talkback is already a quite slow experience even using direct touch. But imagine even if your finger is on the proper letter, if you lift it it chooses one that is next to it basically every third letter. If you have at least some bit of imagination, this will probably be very bad in said. And let me tell you, it infact is as crappy as it sounds.
I sincerely hope this is something which gets fixed as soon as possible. I already noticed it two or three days ago. If this won't be fixed, my phone simply isn't workable with and I will need to use voice messages and dictation for everything.

#Molly app has a socks5 option but only #Orbot "VPN" mode will work. What if #Arti from @torproject could bind with Molly on socks5 via #Termux?

would be nice to have #systemd like @postmarketOS

*Termux @termux
pkg update (possible to plug in keyboard and display to #android #mobile app)
then proot-distro login --isolated debian
su - user because Arti will complain eventhough phone is not really rooted, change etc/resolv.conf to cloudflare, add dependencies needed for #rust rustup and cargo on #debian #trixie, chmod g-w ~/.config

* #Oniux --> E0560

* Arti --> Linux Scaffolding Log_Connections

* apkeep #EFF eff.org/pages/apkeep --> shared storage path, package manager chokepoint won't install

* network monitoring like Nyx with #tokio-console

In a way, like passwordless root in QubesOS. Some good customizations can be made in Dom0, though, unlike GrapheneOS.

I received an invite to the early access to the Android developer console in my inbox yesterday, the one related to Google's new push to make developers verify Android apps that are distributed outside Play.

Google had talked previously about providing a specific verification tier for students and hobbyists, but with limitation on how many app installs it could have. Well that sounds nice of them, right?

But the question I had on my mind back when I read that was: How many devices would that mean? Ten thousand, a thousand, a hundred?

Turns out it means just twenty. fucking. devices.

If you're using UnifiedPush to get push notifications because you can't use the Play Services, we'd be happy to ear from you!

It may be because they aren't available in your region, they weren't included in your phone or because your Android version is too old to be supported.

Good grief, @Tutanota!

What have you done to the #Android client?

When moving an email to a folder, the list of folders (and their subfolders) now appears in REVERSE alphabetical order, Z-A, with the usual "default" folders in reverse order at the bottom.

The user is presented with the folder list in one orientation for navigation, but the reverse orientation when moving an email. WTF?

Perhaps I've not seen an option to apply (or change) some setting for this? 🤷‍♂️

Is this a glitch? A bug? A new feature?
Am I drunk?

Big smiles, TeamTuta! We ALL love your work and how you're "fighting the good fight" for personal privacy!

Přechod mezi telefony je na Androidu pořád hodně práce

Konečně je GrapheneOS dostupný také pro Pixel 10 a já na něj mohl konečně přejít. Jak jednoduchá byla migrace na nový telefon? GrapheneOS má nejpokročilejší zálohovací/migrační nástroj, jaký jsem na Androidu zkoušel, jak ale píšu v článku, i tak je to pořád z nemalé části manuální proces.

If you've wondered how Android developer verification affects Accrescent, today we have a new blog post explaining briefly what it is, how it impacts us, and how we're responding.

#accrescent #android #appstore #security #privacy


Telegram, the cloud-based freemium chat, has now implemented strict rate limiting for users of alternative clients, VPNs and virtual phone numbers.
Clients like Nekogram, Nagram, Cherrygram and Unigram may show transmission delays or errors.
If your client had recently become slower, disable the VPN and use a real number.

Yesterday an open-source developer Christian has released life changing update to the privacy respecting #android app called #MakeACopy. The app now features so called #accessibility mode that is enabling #screenReader users to take pictures of the paper documents independently.
Accessibility guide is available on github.
The latest prerelease version provides clear Accessibility guidance phrases with screen readers such as Talkback, Corvus, Jieshuo and others that can handle announcement accessibility event.

I am verry happy about this. We are now getting privacy respecting open-source based screen reader accessible solution that performs very well and is easy to use.

The prerelease version can be downloaded at

When will the #NFB remember not all #Blind people use #Apple products, the #Android users have been complaining about many of the same issues for months, or years without any response when brought to the NFB but as soon as impacts one person on iPhone it's an immediate priority. @mastoblind


Lots of folks speculating about AirDrop working on the Pixel, if it was reverse engineering or asking if Apple might break the compatibility. The reality might be a bit more mundane. Seems Apple is just being forced to play by regulators' rules...

Excited to announce #IzzyOnDroid will be at #FOSDEM! Our stand request got approved! fosdem.org/2026/news/2025-11-1…

We'll be sharing a stand with @shiftphones and @BlissLabs, showing just what a great experience our little corner of #Android can be.

Repairable devices, a FOSS #AOSP ROM and an "app store" (or repository if you prefer) for all the privacy and user respecting apps you could want to run on it :)

Of course the teamwork doesn't end there, we'll love to tell you more at the stand :)

Stop calling it #sideloading when you install an app on #Android that isn’t provided via #GooglePlaystore. It is just installing an app. Not less and not more. The phone is your own device. You bought it, you paid for it. You have all the rights to do with it what ever you want. And to install on it what ever you want from wherever you get it from.
It’s your choice and not the choice of #Google. They only provide the Android system and one option where to get apps for it. That’s it!
