Episode 39 of the #postmarketOS #podcast is one of the best podcasts I have listened to in a long time! It's an interview with magdesign, a geek who sold all his projects and tools and belongings to cycle the world with his wife, and uses a #linux #mobile #phone as his main computing device. Funny, inspiring and full of amazing stories from the trip.

More things that live at the back of my desk drawer.

No prizes for working out what this is, I mean, everyone had one back in the day.

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.

Well done y’all!

Constituents have flooded the #phone lines at the U.S. Capitol this week, many of them asking questions about billionaire Elon #Musk “feeding USAID into the wood chipper” and his access to government systems.

Senators’ phone systems have been overloaded, lawmakers said, with some voters unable to get through to leave a message. The outpouring of complaints and confusion has put pressure on lawmakers to find out more about Musk’s project, heightening tensions between the billionaire tech mogul and the government.

Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) said the Senate’s phones were receiving 1,600 calls each minute, compared with the usual 40 calls per minute. Many of the calls she’s been receiving are from people concerned about U.S. DOGE Service employees having broad access to government systems and sensitive information.

Some #GOP are dismissive, saying it’s scripted activists, but keep up the pressure folks!

I’m looking for a new option for a phone. No #iPhone no #samsung.

I’m thinking the librem5, but not sure. Are there any good non mainstream phones that have extended security updates and are overall decent?

Would love boosts and recommendations on new phones.

From Trans Army:

For #trans people in the #US.

The US is now under a #fascist #authoritarian #regime. Here's some #safety tips.

Avoid using a mobile #phone in #conservative states. Disable #location services. Always use a #VPN. Consider all #corporate #online service to be potential #security risk.

Stock up on #hormones and #medications. Keep a bag with everything you need to #survive at least 3-5 days.

With all the BS of Apple doing their AI spying (amongst other issues), it's that time of year where I once again look for a "third party" phone to migrate to as a daily driver.

I've followed lots of Linux phones (running Ubuntu Touch, KDE Plasma Mobile, postmarketOS and others), feature phones running KaiOS, and others.

Heck I was even building my own phone on an RPi years ago (https://web.archive.org/web/20210725154717/https://www.tinker.sh/kde-plamo-rpi/ ) and have been following the PinePhone project for a very long time.

My current research is pointing towards a Fairphone 4 running e/OS (degooglefied android). I live in the US, so this is as close to the Fairphone as I can get currently: https://murena.com/america/shop/smartphones/brand-new/murena-fairphone-4/ (edit: Annnnd, it's no longer available.)

Really I just need a phone that runs Signal and can run some sort of GPS app. Everything else I can do via a web browser.

I hate Apple/iOS phones. The only thing I hate more than Apple phones are Google/Android phones.
