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.

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.

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 :)

Google cancels plans to require Android application certification outside of the Play Store

To make the open web safer, Google is launching *website owner verification*. Starting in 2026, Google will require all websites to be registered in order to be opened on Chrome.

All website owners are encouraged to sign up for early access. This is the best way to get ready and stay updated.

To get verified, all you need to do is providing your personal details, upload an official ID, and pay a 25$.

For hobbyists, Google is working on another console so you can add every Google accounts that are allowed to see your website.

And as Google is committed to keep the web open, they will provide a command line interface to open a single page of a non-verified website, but it's very dangerous and your Chrome will lose its certification. This will allow banks to forbid access to their website from non-certified Chrome.
