From the BrailleNote mailing list, about BrailleNote updates:

I'm not a HumanWare employee but was also there and can get this started and they can come in and verify.

They started with the first Braillenote Touch that had android. They went thru the entire Google certification process to allow it to have all the google services like google play store. This certification allowed them to update its Android OS to a certain point. To go any farther they had to have a device certified for the new version. They tried to certify the first braillenote touch for the new android OS but google will not allow recertification of a already certified device. This is where Braillenote touch plus comes to play. They created a new model and got it certified for the new version of android OS. Braillenote touch plus has now again gotten to the limit of its android OS updates. Human ware said the process of certifying a device of extensive and the cost was extremely high for the low number of devices they sell. They said there will be new devices to continue the segment with, but they can't talk about those right now. They said they're not just stopping the braillenote touch plus and that's it! They're working on finding a valid solution for the high cost of google certification for a new device. Rather that's Linux, windows, uncertified android, etc.

The Monarch has an uncredited android which is not a bad or wrong thing to do, this just means it doesn't have the google services like play store.

I hope this helps everyone understand where they are with this and that it's a google stupidity thing not a HumanWare thing.

#GrapheneOS is already based on #Android 16. They also deliver security fixes more quickly than Google itself.

Switching to GrapheneOS was the best phone-related decision I've made in years. I hope phones will be available for it in future. I just can't imagine going back to mainstream options that force you to choose between privacy and user freedom.

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



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.

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".

Good news! Next release of Fennec browser will support UnifiedPush. And IronFox plan to do it as well!

You'll be able to receive push notifications for many more apps if you're not using Play services, thanks to web apps.

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.


Dear apple.
Please comply with the EU so I can continue to use your amazing products and serveces, and not be forced to switch to inferior products and services from companies like google and microsoft.

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.
