    If I am going to use non-free #closedSouce gratis services is it better to commit to just giving my data to one company like

    @Hank G ☑️ could Relatica save the information which group/circle was viewed last and start with that instead of my general timeline? Or maybe a setting which group to show when starting the app?

    The Iris #Nostr client on #Android now has a "block and mute" function, so I've started using that against the #spambots.

    Nostr has some great ideas that are way beyond what either #OStatus or #ActivityPub branches of the #Fediverse are doing, but the spam and the fact that there's a really big #Bitcoin "Maxi" faction there are chasing regular people away.

    I have installed f-droid.org/packages/com.phill… (Clock+) for recurring alarms and f-droid.org/en/packages/pl.asc… (OneTimeAlarm) for my one-offs!

    I have set up my battery of morning and afternoon alarms in Clock+ and emptied the alarm list in the system Clock, except for one alarm that I'm keeping for tomorrow morning until I have really tried and can trust Clock+.

    I installed #I2P and I2Pd on an #Android tablet. I went to the built-in addressbook and found that many of the sites listed no longer exist.

    There were a few private gitea forges, a couple of inactive blogs, and so on. They can keep the current addressbook as a "historical" section, but the the main list should be updated 1-4X per year to prune dead sites.

    @fu I have not heard of #Status.im before. From a quick look, it reminds me of #Nostr, but #P2P instead of using relay servers.

    (Last time I looked, Nostr did not have a decent #Android client, but I hear that the Damus #IOS client is great.)

    Whew. The #i2p project should clean out their default addressbook in the I2P program, at least the #Android version. Most of the sites listed no longer exist.

    On my #Android tablet, ManyVerse ( an #SSB client ) complains that it can't connect to any pubs. I had it connected to multiple pubs, but they appear to have closed. I don't know if it is worth seeking out a new batch.

    #Samsung, among others, has leaked their #Android app-signing keys.

    > Guess what has happened! Łukasz Siewierski, a member of Google's Android Security Team, has a post on the Android Partner Vulnerability Initiative (AVPI) issue tracker detailing leaked platform certificate keys that are actively being used to sign malware. The post is just a list of the keys, but running each one through APKMirror or Google's VirusTotal site will put names to some of the compromised keys: Samsung, LG, and Mediatek are the heavy hitters on the list of leaked keys, along with some smaller OEMs like Revoview and Szroco, which makes Walmart's Onn tablets.

    ...

    > What OEMs really need to do is stop using the compromised keys to secure their apps. It's not clear why Samsung continues to use the key. Android's APK Signature Scheme V3 allows developers to change app keys with just an update—you authenticate an app with the new and old key and indicate that only the new key is supported for updates. This is a requirement for Play Store apps, but again, system apps from OEMs are not subject to any of the Play Store rules, so some OEMs are still using the old v2 signature scheme.

    > Thankfully, these leaked keys are only for apps and not the keys used to sign OS updates. So even if the v3 signature scheme is not in use, theoretically the affected companies could ship a still-secure OTA update that includes new system apps with new keys, and they could make new corresponding Play Store updates that are compatible with those new keys. That sounds like a lot of work, though.

      The cryptographic key proves an update is legit, assuming your OEM doesn't lose it.

    I might believe that if #Wi-Fi wasn't working all the time I have had this phone. As for #location, that is turned off anyway. If there is any legitimate purpose for which the phone needs its location, tower triangulation can help a lot.

    It makes me wonder what is so important about Play Services. What extra data collection or owner / user monitoring is embedded that #Android itself lacks?

    #NYTimes begins a series on smartphone tracking, based on the largest dataset ever leaked. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/12/19/opinion/location-tracking-cell-phone.html [www nytimes com]

    Turn location OFF and leave it OFF. Nearly all application programs (apps) will still work, but they will periodically nag you, saying they cannot function without it. (Similar to the way several unrelated #Android apps will claim that they cannot work without Google Play Services being enabled.)

    Note that many apps added some sort of mapping related functionality, which doesn’t fully work without location. But do you really need to share your music and video choices with nearby strangers?
