#Google trips over its own words, when they sell you #Android it's the best computing device in the world that does everything. After you bought it Google doesn't let you do anything *you* want to.

#Sideload is a made-up term. Putting software on your computer is simply called “installing”, regardless of whether that computer is in your pocket or on your desk.

What Do You Talk About When You Talk About Sideloading?

Are you using Ironfox as PWA to surf Mastodon?

Get push notifications to work with Ironfox on Android (There's no Librewolf for Android) using UnifiedPush.

unifiedpush.org

You would need to download and install Sunup for this to work (no account required)

unifiedpush.org/users/distribu…

Then in Ironfox setting, enable UnifiedPush. Push notifications option will now appear from Mastodon, enable them and voilà.

I have a rather peculiar #Android problem.
- I use personalDNSfilter (zenz-solutions.de/personaldnsf…) to block ads system-wide. It's basically like running a local pi-hole using a local VPN.
- I would also like to use Orbot (#Tor) and run some apps (specifically Nextcloud) that don't natively support proxying through Orbot's VPN.

The problem is, Android won't let me run two VPNs at the same time. And blocking ads without a VPN would require rooting my phone, which I don't want to do. However:
- personalDNSfilter can expose the DNS server on port 5300 without using the VPN (which is useless in itself).
- Orbot can expose its HTTP and SOCKS proxy without using the VPN (which is also useless in itself).

Is there some way to setup a custom VPN that would combine these two things, i.e., let me route some apps through Orbot's proxy and use the local DNS server (provided by personalDNSfilter) at port 5300? I was looking at OpenVPN for Android (github.com/schwabe/ics-openvpn), but I'm honestly really confused. Help please? 😅 Boosts appreciated.

RE: infosec.exchange/@accrescent/1…

The servers were deployed a few weeks ago. However, our next app update had unexpected bugs, delaying its release.

As a result, updates for all apps have been delayed since. We apologize for the delay and hope to resolve it by the end of the week. Thank you for your patience!

Development on our roadmap is progressing smoothly. Our next app and server releases are undergoing final testing before deployment.

We hope to make an announcement soon about what Android's recently announced developer verification requirements mean for Accrescent. Stay tuned!

What do you use for Mastodon on Android?

Looking for client that can do multi accounts, remote timeline pinning, remote hashtag feed pinning, drafts, threads auto split and maybe does not look like trash.

Basically I am looking for something as close to @MonaApp as possible.

I tried Fedilab but it is not even close. Phanpy, although a web app is actually great. Now looking for a native app that does as good.

I'm seeing a number of posts about folk thinking of leaving #AndroidDev due to Googles policy changes.

For clarity I left the #Android world this year, and largely for those reasons.

I bought a T-Mobile G1 on the first day. I've built SDKs and firmware for Android, I have commits in the AOSP. I built (and sold) an app store in the early days. I also worked on the Android team at Google for a while.

Android, to me, is now a Google product. Not the open platform it was.

My advice; Just do it.

PSA, the new Android 16 update will surreptitiously reenable fingerprint device unlock even if you had intentionally disabled it before. Depending on where you live and your threat model, this might not be safe! Americans have little protection against law enforcement compelling biometrics unlock. To make matters worse, the fingerprint unlock settings are found in a different part of the security settings UI than the rest of the device unlock settings. If you update to Android 16, make sure your device unlock settings are what you intended.

Some Android devices do at least have the option to unlock the bootloader and install a custom Android rom like LineageOS on it. Something Apple would never allow.

LineageOS expands the lifetime of a device considerably.

Also, Fairphones (also with Android) have a much longer support period than all other Android devices. And are repairable!

I must admit the iPhone Air looks pretty cool. Now that Google is locking down #Android, I might as well get one of those and do #Conversations_im for iOS instead.


I think planned hardware obsolescence is usually bad. I have an iPhone XS. It can't be upgraded to iOS 26. Eventually, perhaps within the next year, it will cease to be eligible for security updates. Apart from this, I have no good reason to buy a new phone. With the latest iOS 18 and applications, its performance is fine, and it does what I want it to do. Disposing of it is obviously detrimental to the environment, but if I give it to someone else to use, it will be a security risk for them too. According to the articles I've read, Android devices have historically been worse in this respect. Some Android manufacturers committed to five years of software support, which is still worse than what Apple provided for my device. Of course, millions of Windows users are about to encounter a similar problem, as has been much publicised in recent months. One of my machines doesn't meet the minimum Windows 11 requirements, but it runs Windows 11 perfectly well after making Microsoft's official registry change to bypass the compatibility check. More importantly, it runs Linux comfortably, and will probably continue to do so until the hardware fails or the kernel community decides to stop supporting it. I suspect the former will occur first. We need a shift in values and policy that places greater value on hardware longevity.
