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.

@mral@mastodon.sdf.org It seems that #Murena and thus #Fairphone is available in the USA: https://murena.com/america/products/smartphones/?wcpbc-manual-country=US I can't say that much about Murena and their (degoogled) OS, but I've been a happy Fairphone user for almost a decade now (both #degoogled and stock). #CalyxOS is a good OS choice, check out their supported devices: https://calyxos.org/docs/guide/device-support #GrapheneOS looks pretty good, too - but it only runs on google's pixel (which admittedly is one of the most open phones around). https://grapheneos.org/

@jwildeboer@social.wildeboer.net If you're familiar with it - what are your thoughts on Arthur #Koestler and the concept of #holarchy? I've had the opportunity to work with an enterprise that was organized based on this principle (as opposed to a hierarchical structure) and have been fascinated ever since. https://www.panarchy.org/koestler/holon.1969.html

@patrickgillam@mastodon.online @rbreich@masto.ai Oh yes, that. And not only in the #USA, it's all over the #EU - all the larger cities in #Germany, like #München, #Berlin, #Köln, #Frankfurt and many more. In #Paris and #Amsterdam it's been like this for decades, but now there's also #Milano. #Lisboa is catching up quickly. Where there's #work and prosperity, there's #gentrification and a #housingcrisis. While the countryside is dying, the city hipsters are looking for waiters, maids, teachers...

@SecureOwl@infosec.exchange @acarsdrama@live.acarsdrama.com No, not really. According to my wonderful wife, who is Italian and makes the best Lasagne in the whole Universe, the perfect number of layers a Lasagne must have is four (five might be acceptable). Hence, putting one Lasagne on top of the other would give you a minimum of eight layers - way to many! You could call it a double decker or a Megalasagnastack or whatever, but it would be... not really recommended 😉

@rbreich@masto.ai Oh yeah - and thank you so much for that. It's exactly the same in #Germany (perhaps even worse since #HartzIV) and many other #EU countries.
