Looks like it's time to shop for a new mobile "Android 14, Final @calyxinstitute OS update for Pixel 3 - 4a and @shiftphones SHIFT6MQ"

#Google funds this #EU think tank to put out policy papers saying #DigitalMarketsAct will break their lovely #PlayProtect scare screens, making us all less safe and "it require[s] Google to allow developers to insert links inside their Play Store apps".

As I've always said in relation to the #DMA, let @fdroidorg compete on trustworthiness. I'd love to see this think thank include analysis malware rates of #CalyxOS with #FDroid and compare that to #GooglePlay #security
#TIL the stock #AOSP / #LineageOS / #CalyxOS keyboard actually has an #emoji mode!
Its in settings (long press the comma!)
@arstechnica - the Pixel line's most appealing feature is certainly not surveillance tech like Gemini, but rather that you can flash a variety of privacy respecting Android ROMs over what Google ships.

I'm glad that I have a Google Pixel 8a and not a older model. There have been many reports of Google Pixels exploding! It's horrendous. I would strongly recommend against buying anything older than the Pixel 8 series.
Disclaimer: I'm not a expert and haven't deeply researched this topic, but I considered it important enough to give everyone a warning.

@inlovewithpda have you considered @calyxos ? #calyxos
@forteller @ueeu @DresdnerForschungswerk @murena @Fairphone Thanks! Yes, I've looked at #fairphone and #murena . Nice to see that there are options. Running android (I see fairphones can come with it preinstalled) would not be an option, but /e/OS looks interesting. How does it hold up #privacy wise compared to e.g. #GrapheneOS , #calyxos or #LineageOS ? Haven't tried any of those, just read about them. I see very polarised opinions when I search. Little balanced comparison. A plus that you can get a fairphone with /e/OS preinstalled, of course (It's me. I'm "moderately- or non-technical people").
I now have Android 15 on my Fairphone 4! Thank you, @calyxos!
People who don't flash a new OS on their Fairphone 4 (and I can't blame them, it's not fun) are still on Android 13! I don't really understand why @Fairphone spends resources developing their own tiny tweaked Android and never being able to keep it up to date, instead of collaborating with Calyx or some other OS developer who are able to get out the latest releases.
@Linux_Is_Best #microG is one of the reasons why I prefer #CalyxOS.
Well, I snagged the #Fairphone4 so by the weekend we may find out if I brick the thing, which would be a major backfire. I installed /e/OS on Samsungs multiple times over the years (albeit via their "easy installer") so fingers crossed I can pull this off without an issue! #CalyxOS #Fairphone #DeGoogle #eOS
Anyone installed/used #CalyxOS on a #Fairphone? I'm tempted to try it out but want to avoid a high risk of bricking it if I get one on a #Fairphone4 deal I found, and also don't want to lose too many capabilities from my current Samsung S9 with #eOS on it, so am interested to know how well it runs.

En Arnoud, wat dacht je van weer eens iets met je oude hobby (smartphones): een testje alternatieve privacyvriendelijk roms voor Android?
LineageOS
e.os/Murena
CalyxOS
GrapheneOS
CopperheadOS
iodé?
One year later… Inception!
The #Fairphone5’s front camera is working well (with an impressively smooth refresh rate) on #postmarketOS.
Shot from another #Fairphone 5 running #CalyxOS, that I actually bought a couple of hours after the original post
Thank you so much for what you do, @postmarketOS!
