My Google Play developer account deletion nightmare 🧵 1/3 Lately, I've been trying to close my google developer account since # google will now stop making Android openly able to install apps ( https:// keepandroidopen.org # keepandroidopen @ keepandroidopen ), and my dev account has all of my personal info registered on it.. But for some reason I can't delete the account unless all of my apps have 100 or less active devices as per google's terms of service (I had 1 free app with no inapp purchases). I delisted it a few years ago, and it was steadily decreasing but it was far from ideal yet.
Wtf, Google has removed "Disable absolute volume" from Bluetooth developer settings in Android 17?! I'm now unable to use my Bluetooth headphones as even the lowest volume is too loud. I can't understand how not everyone in the world isn't complaining about this. How loudly do people listen? # android # bluetooth

New from the studio: Redact 🐍 Before you share a photo or screenshot, Redact finds the faces, card and phone numbers, email addresses, QR codes and other text in it. You check what it found, tap to cover the rest, and the covers replace the pixels, so nothing can be lifted off. Free, open source, works offline. Your pictures never leave your device. https:// redact.anonacondacodelab.com # Privacy # FOSS # Android # OpenSource

# Android offers what # Apple never did: you are the one deciding what runs on your device. Until now. ⚠️ Google’s developer verification scheme, with its 24h waiting period and app store fees of up to 16,000 USD a year, fades Android as an open platform. We question if Google is turning to Apple's business model. WE cannot afford two Apples. WE need to correct this course.

From Ed Zitron’s newsletter: “NVIDIA is an aggressively and unashamedly dodgy company that has done everything and anything necessary to sustain its growth, deploying about half of its Fiscal Year 2026 revenue to plugging holes in an ecosystem to make everybody ignore one horrible detail: that buying NVIDIA GPUs is a shitty deal for anybody other than Jensen Huang. If it wasn’t, hyperscalers would be screaming about the incredible, actual revenues from their $1.4 trillion or so in capital expenditures. If it wasn’t, CoreWeave wouldn’t be an ever-expanding timebomb that requires a few billion d

Leader: Hi, we're an open source project that's building a more ethical smartphone that runs a deGoogled version of Android. Users: Sounds good. Leader: We're also loading it with AI.

Users: We still have ethical questions, including on the training data. Leader: HOW DARE YOU QUESTION MY ETHICS! THAT'S INSULTING!!! # Android # tech

Author Ted Chiang has observed that 'ChatGPT is a blurry jpeg of the web'; increasing levels of material used to 'train' AI, LLMs & their associated technologies now have been generated by those very technologies themselves. As AI's data becomes increasingly in-bred so AI starts to exhibit 'model collapse' as corrupted data feeds the system, leading to more gibberish spreading across the system. (which is why Big Tech is buying pre-AI books to feed the system) # AI # technology h/t Observer

Mastodon has two Live feeds: "This server" and "Other servers." I've used both the Mastodon and Tusky Android apps, and they don't seem to have the "Other servers" feed. Is there an app for Android that lets us see the "Other servers?" Or is there some setting I need to adjust? # tusky # mastodon # android
