The Christmas time, aka the time that Pawel took a longer off period and has time to go down various memory lanes, will probably lead to development of new, personal traditions such as digging up tons of vintage tech resources. This year I present GSM Online, a news site from Poland which originated as a regular source of the latest telcom and cellular phone related news from Poland, Europe, sometimes Japan, US and other places where the technology was booming. Today it's one of many tech portals but in 2000 when it started, it reported on every little thing happening in the cell phone world, including deals, new services, experimental tech that never saw the light of day outside of small pilot test environments etc. The excited eight-year-old wanted his dad to copy every new article onto Kajetek, a Polish notetaker with Braille input and voice output, so that those could be read any time without sighted assistance. Turns out their news archives date back to the early 2000 and are still available. Everything's in Polish but worth an automatic translation if you'd like to experience what kinds of tiny details the industry would focus on back then and which solutions were thought of but never fully implemented. gsmonline.pl/newsy?page=2008 #Mobile #Phone #Retro #Tech

#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.

You remember #Apple scanning all images on your #mobile device?
If you have an #Android #phone, a new app that doesn't appear in your menu has been automatically and silently installed (or soon will be) by #Google. It is called #AndroidSystemSafetyCore and does exactly the same - scan all images on your device as well as all incoming ones (via messaging). The new spin is that it does so "to protect your #privacy".
You can uninstall this app safely via System -> Apps.
🆕 blog! “Review: Roamless Travel eSIM”
★★★★★
I've got a bunch of travel coming up to exotic locations. Previously, I've bought a local SIM card when I've landed - but they're often expensive, fiddly to fit, and queuing in an airport isn't much fun. I've also bought pre-paid SIMs which have a fixed amount of data or only last a specific amount of time.
But the big…

⌨️ Nielsen Norman Group research on how screen-reader users type on and control mobile devices
“Summary: Users who are blind or have low vision prefer dictation over typing with a keyboard whenever possible. Screen readers on touchscreen devices are restricted to a well-defined set of gestures which makes interaction more challenging than on computers.”
