Nah, it’s still considered Personal Data under GDPR, because it’s possible to connect to natural persons. So GDPR applies. And this is illegal, there is no legal basis for processing this data.

Release submissions should really include a description what the project is about.

Wine was first released in 1993. I hope our children are there to see the take off.

I hope this makes it easier to do TLS sniffing and security research on Android apps. A lot of developers seem to rely on no one simply looking at how much information is exposed in the APIs apps use. Currently because it’s much more difficult to sniff Android apps, a lot of privacy/security issues are not raised.

Samsung takes security almost as seriously as Google, but they deliberately cripple their devices when you unlock them to install another OS and don’t allow an alternate OS to use important security features

What does the crippling and security features refer to?

The Play Integrity API is less about security and more about Google asserting their monopoly.

They do not want truly open source Android platforms to gain popularity, because there would be a high chance people would want ad blocking, which is a direct threat to their profit margins.

I hope EU takes regulative action to force Google to allow GrapheneOS, LineageOS etc. to be able to run the same apps without issues.

I’m optimistic, since technical arguments can be pretty heated yet they end like this:

Can you find any links where one can read about this?

If Finland is wasting tax payer money to something shady, it should be brought to the local media.

And GrapheneOS has call recording btw

Thank you for the information. Unfortunately it does not seem to have automatic call recording yet:

Which apps do you mean?

You answered this already: apps that use the Play Integrity API. Includes some local banking apps, some random ones and Google Wallet. I wish app developers didn’t use those APIs, but they are probably not aware of the implications or don’t care.

I also have LineageOS 21 and Magisk 27, and WhatsApp works without issues. I don’t remember having to do anything. But I have a different phone.

Maybe the Pixel 8 LineageOS images have some issues?

Did you flash the Google apps image?

As a finn, I understand that there are probably legal reasons for doing this.

I just wish they would be transparent and share those reasons with us. The Linux kernel is certainly not the only free software project that is impacted, if this comes straight from EU/US sanctions. Maintainers of other projects have a lot of interest in what is happening.

Transparency is also important because if EU/US policy/sanctions are causing issues for free software projects, then that discussion needs to be public, so that there is a chance to amend the policies if necessary.

finland has pretty bad, climate-change-exploitation-fucking-over-the-third-world dealings in my country

Which country is that, and what dealings?

There may be worse countries, but rest of the word is not in a proxy war with them.

Yes, not only is it realistic, it has actually happened. It’s easier to write code than understand it. Even when reviewing code, you miss more or less obvious issues. Not to mention intentional vulnerabilities that can be sneaked in over multiple commits and time span long enough to make reviewers forget the larger context.

Look buddy, you don’t need to use it if you don’t want to. Just remove the package. I’m sure telnet will continue working!

pkg search syncthing shows that it’s packaged, version 1.28.0.

Any experiences with running cron jobs in Termux? Is it reliable?

I’m looking to upgrade my phone as well. One important thing I want is call recording, and that really narrows the options.

Samsung phones can record calls, but you need to use SamFW to change the CSC. LineageOS does not support recent models.

OnePlus phones have better hardware specs, but I think nowadays you have to root with Magisk and use BCR for recording. That breaks banking apps. LineageOS supports some OnePlus models, but not 12.

Pixels don’t have native call recording? But GrapheneOS works on them. Again, many apps are broken.

Fairphone might be interesting, I should look into that.

If you are asking for help in english, change the locale to english before sharing error messages or screenshots.

Someone would have to maintain it. And someone would have to make sure it’s not Jia Tan.

I have now tested CSC changing with SamFW, and changing to SEK (Ukraine) enabled native call recording in a Samsung Galaxy device. The change persists even after inserting SIM card.

You can automatically record calls. No audible notifications to the other end. Files are saved to /storage/emulated/0/Recordings/Call/, so you can use other apps to copy them elsewhere.
