A #poem in three parts

A bronze little boy
who grew up with old books.
Turn the page

He read Twain with joy
and Jack London cooked.
Turn the page

But soon he got sick:
his mom kept him close
Turn the page

yet gave him her love
in tiny spoon doses.
Turn the page

Taught himself to write,
even in cursive
Turn the page

but her line of sight
was ever elusive.
Turn the page

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.

#Thailand's #mobile market is now effectively a cosy #duopoly - it's facetious of #BangkokPost to keep up the pretense of #market #competition after witnessing the #regulator and powers of the day failing to stop the True-DTAC merger. #telecoms #BigFail #journalism

#Bandwidth battle begins🧐🤔🇹🇭
" #NBTC chairman Boonbaichaiyapruck said the #auction is expected to attract major #operators,🤥 though the market only has two major operators: #AIS and #True"

A little surprising to me that #Thunderbird #Mobile doesn't have the same #RSS features as the desktop.

I've been using RSS a lot more lately - after quite some time away - and have enjoyed having RSS feeds right in Thunderbird, alongside everything else.

Not a big dealbreaker but a bummer.

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.

"It’s time to expand encryption on Android and iPhone. With governments around the world engaging in constant attacks on user’s digital rights and access to the internet, removing glaring and potentially dangerous targets off of people’s backs when they use their mobile phones is more important than ever.

So far we have seen strides for at least keeping messages private on mobile devices with end-to-end encrypted apps like Signal, WhatsApp, and iMessage. Encryption on the web has been widely adopted. We even declared in 2021 that “HTTPS Is Actually Everywhere.” Most web traffic is encrypted and for a website to have a reputable presence with browsers, they have to meet certain requirements that major browsers enforce today. Mechanisms like certificate transparency, Cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) rules, and enforcing HTTPS help prevent malicious activity happening to users every day.

Yet, mobile has always been a different and ever expanding context. You access the internet on mobile devices through more than just the web browser. Mobile applications have more room to spawn network requests in the app without the user ever knowing where and when a request was sent. There is no “URL bar” to see the network request URL for the user to see and check. In some cases, apps have been known to “roll their own” cryptographic processes outside of non-standard encryption practices."

🧵…wie gross TikTok an Datenspuren sammelt, nun hier. Wenn dies kein weiteres Argument ist, zusätzlich zu den oberen, um es nicht zu nutzen?

»Forschung zu TikTok – Jedes Video hinterlässt fast 600 Datenspuren:
Freiwillig gewährt TikTok nur wenig Einblick in seinen Algorithmus. Forschende müssen tricksen, um sehen zu können, was im Hintergrund der populären App wirklich abläuft.«

FTC scolds two data brokers for allegedly selling your location to the metre

They bought logs of people's whereabouts from app developers and other companies that carried out software-based tracking of location, and then resold it.

And thisis one reason why you should not grants your apps blanket access to all of your data on your phone and if you do provided limited access, be aware of where you are using them and when.

"Cape runs its own mobile core, all of the software necessary to route messages, authenticate users, and basically be a telecom. Ultimately, this gives Cape the control to do more privacy-enhancing things, such as periodically give its phones a new IMEI—a unique identifier for the phone—and new IMSI—a similar identifier but one attached to the SIM card (or eSIM in Cape’s case). The phone can also give itself a new mobile advertising identifier (MAID), which is an identifier advertising ecosystems and apps use to track peoples’ web browsing activity and is sometimes linked to their physical movement data. Cape said the IMEI and MAID rotation is handled by the custom Cape handset, which runs standard up-to-date Android.

Cape lets users create bundles of these identifiers, called “personas,” then cycle through them at different points. This means that during some attacks, a Cape phone may look like a different phone each time. The device can do this in a few ways. In the first, users can set geofences around a particular area, meaning that when they enter that location—such as their home, place of work, or commute—the device automatically switches to a particular IMSI, IMEI, and MAID. Secondly, users can set it to switch between these sets of identifiers after an approximate period of time has passed, between one hour and one day, with an option to add some percentage of variation between each rotation."

Let's say you have spent >2 hours changing your #mobile phone's broken screen and frame.

You have patiently removed the flexible battery because the adhesive was ripped when pulled.

You have disassembled every component, put everything on the new frame, screwed all the screws.

Finally, you put the battery cover, press lightly with your thumb and index finger, and you *break* the new screen.

How are you feeling?
