For those that run an #XMPP server, does it seem safe enough to enable XEP-0357 if one is concerned about third party data leaks to push notification services? Is #OMEMO enough to nullify concerns? I'm using #Monocles and #Prosody and I'm trying to optimize battery usage on #Android / #LineageOS
Gemini AI needs to be disabled on Android or it will override your privacy settings and gain full access to your texts, calls, and WhatsApp - even if you’ve turned off Gemini Apps Activity.
Love how #Google has decided to lock down #Android in increasingly ridiculous ways. I can no longer save files to my downloads folder, for "security and privacy reasons." This includes USB transfer from my PC to my phone, as well as Tailscale. Not even iOS is this restrictive! Switching to something like #GraphineOS or #lineage becomes more and more tempting by the day.
Wenn Android im Hintergrund Daten an Google schickt, kann das die Mobilfunkrechnung belasten. Laut einem kalifornischen Urteil soll Google dafür geradestehen.

An update to Lanis had to be rolled back, as some proprietary components sneaked in. They were already identified and the issue fixed upstream, so it's not "stalled forever".

OEMs are racing to see how quickly they can release security patches AFTER Google publishes the monthly #Android #security bulletin. Today, #GrapheneOS delivered me an update which gets my phone to the July security patch level, so BEFORE Google officially publishes it. If only all the major OEMs were as quick as this community project.

For the next release of #Conversations_im I’m switching the default for showing all messages, including sent ones, left aligned, to 'on' for all tablets.
Combine this with disabling 'Colorful chat bubbles' and this looks pretty clean and almost like a regular desktop app.
This post is also a reminder to existing tablet users that those two settings exist. Too bad there aren’t that many of you.

Question for Android users who use or used Samsung. What is the navigation gesture to go back? While talkback is on? I don't mean the three buttons that are the alternative, but the gestures that are by default, I think. I was asked. I'd be grateful if someone could answer this one. Thank you. #Android #A11Y #Talkback #Samsung

Android is kind of less "blind friendly". I use that to mean how well the OS, accessibility frameworks, and screen reader are working together to give an experience that doesn't assume a visual user. A really good showcase for this is scrolling. On iOS, if you swipe, you barely notice that the screen scrolls when you get to the bottom of it. On Android though, you can hear the half second or so it takes to scroll. Also there technically are no screen reader commands to scroll up, down, left, or right. There's just "scroll forward" and "scroll backwards," which means that if you scroll forward in an app with tabs, you might find yourself on the next tab rather than the next list of items.
Now, for those who only use speech, this is usable. But a lot of blind Android users who just explore by touch don't seem to get that "swiping" is all a Braille user can do. Like, the system should not care which way one navigates. And even though on a touch screen, you can scroll in any direction using two fingers, this isn't screen reader specific, so a Braille user cann't do that. But who cares about Braille, it's dead don'cha know? /s
Another thing that really gets on my nerves sometimes is putting in my PIN. I really need to try a password and see if that works better, but the PIN entry field isn't an actual keyboard, it's just an interface that looks like one. So, using a Braille display, I have to navigate one number at a time, and enter them by pressing Enter on the one I want. Sometimes I can press Space with dot 4 to go down a line of numbers, but sometimes that puts me on the bottom row instead of the next row. Of course, on iOS, I can type my passcode as expected.
It's also kind of baffling to me that Gemini on Android doesn't automatically speak or Braille responses whenever I type to it. It could easily send those responses to TalkBack. But, as usual, the hearing, speaking blind are the testers Google has, so of course the feedback is that it works, it's fine, and if there are any descenting voices, they're either drown out or unheard. And this is AI, the current money-maker and time-waster for all these companies. And yet, even in that, they still can't get accessibility right. Just look at it on the web. The thing says Gemini replied, except it hasn't even finished generating the response yet. Imagine if VoiceOver did that in iMessage and the person had just started typing, and VO didn't even say when they actually sent the message? The NFB would have all their resolutions on just that one topic.
Don't get me wrong, a lot of things in Android work well. But there are just these things that remind me that there really needs to be a big shift in Google regarding accessibility, and not just a surface-level cleaning, for Android to really lose that speech-only attitude of workarounds. Also I'm not saying iOS is anywhere near perfect, even for Braille. But when I do use Braille on iOS, I feel a lot closer to a second-class citizen than a third or fourth like on Android.
