True DeGoogling means removing Android period.
To me Android is also everything that derives from AOSP, that originates from Google ...
You can't say you're free while you are in the middle of the bridge (because if bridge falls you're dead)
@justsoup @Sturmflut @MuhammadFreeSoftware @eliasr @Tutanota There's also #UbuntuTouch and #SailfishOS as additional alternatives.
@MuhammadFreeSoftware @eliasr @Tutanota Please speak for yourself. Lots of us are daily driving #linuxmobile on our devices.
Discovered a new beautiful mastodon instance: snabelen.no ! https://snabelen.no/
"Snabel" means the trunk of an elephant, or in this case of a mastodon, I suppose. It's the same word in Swedish but somehow when you pronounce anything in Norwegian it suddenly becomes funny 😄
Yesterday I was giving a guest lecture about Free and open-source software at Karlstad university. Here are the slides (mostly in Swedish) if anyone wants to look, or to use them for something: https://eliasrudberg.se/foss-lecture-may2025.pdf
Statement by the Board of Uppsala University on the situation in Gaza
"We therefore call on the Swedish government to explicitly condemn Israel’s actions, to immediately resume its funding of UNRWA, and to actively work within the EU to take all measures at its disposal (including imposing trade sanctions on Israel) to prevent a genocide."
Letter signed by Anne Ramberg, chair of the Board of Uppsala University

Is Everyone Using AI to Cheat Their Way Through College?
It's not just the students: Multiple AI platforms now offer tools to leave AI-generated feedback on students' essays. Which raises the possibility that AIs are now evaluating AI-generated papers, reducing the entire academic exercise to a conversation between two robots — or maybe even just one.

Love this clip from @molly0xfff's Fediverse House talk:
"Imagine for a moment a web where communities can create their own spaces while still simultaneously and seamlessly interoperating with others. Think of it like a network of independent neighborhoods, each with its own character and rules, but with shared community spaces, art galleries and libraries.
In this web, you control what you create and decide how it's shared.The algorithms that shape that experience, they're transparent and customizable. You can peek under the hood or tweak them to your liking or replace them entirely if they're not serving your needs. If you're sharing a space with a group of others and you disagree with how they run that space, you can leave, but you can take your work and your community with you.
"This isn't just a dream. This is already happening. Take Mastodon and the broader Fediverse, where millions of people are building communities that talk to each other across servers and platforms."

Stay out of "AI" hell, y'all!
Idag är det ett längre inslag jag är med i på ett hörn i Ekonomiekot Extra om svårigheterna med hanteringen av data mellan EU och USA i en tid där Trumpregimen monterat ner de mekanismer satta att garantera skydd mot EU-medborgares data.
