Malleable software: Restoring user agency in a world of locked-down apps
Article, Comments

🔥 SOCIAL POST: "Play Integrity Isn’t Security—It’s Monopoly!"

📌 THE SYMBOLIC IMAGE (for artists/AI to visualize):
A tech dystopia where:
• Google mass-certifies devices like a factory (robots stamping phones with a "G" logo).
• "Non-compliant" devices get trashed (Huawei, Fairphone, modded phones in a dumpster).
• Rebel hackers smash digital locks with screwdrivers/USBs, revealing: *"Freedom > Certification"*.
• Google’s control tower looms in the back, with screens saying *"Security"*—but wires lead to a sign: *"Terms & Conditions apply"*.

🎨 Style: Cyberpunk + *1984* vibes, with glitch effects and neon contrasts.

👇 WHY IT MATTERS:
Play Integrity ISN’T a neutral certification. It’s a tool to:
1️⃣ BLOCK competitors (no GMS? You’re out!).
2️⃣ BAN root/custom ROMs ("Your device, your rules"? Not anymore.).
3️⃣ FORCE Google services (Play Store, APIs, etc.).

💡 SOLUTIONS?
• Free OSs: GrapheneOS, /e/OS.
• Alternative stores: F-Droid, Aurora.
• Fight back: Report abuses to antitrust authorities!

⚡ Emotions Engineered by AI?
@takebackourtech

In this clip, I bring up how large language models aren’t just generating content—they’re designed to invoke feelings. These tools are being fine-tuned to manipulate tone and emotion, shaping the way we interpret online conversations.

We also explore how the same post can have wildly different comment sections based on who’s seeing it. This isn’t random—it’s by design.

Another Crack in the Chain of Trust: Uncovering (Yet Another) Secure Boot Bypass
Article, Comments

Seems like an end of GrapheneOS because:

1. They still don't have access to the Android Partner access
2. Google has stopped releasing device trees for Google Pixels with the Android 16 stable release. Additionally, Hardware Google Graphics is also closed now.

Android used to be a playground for power users. Now it’s a locked-down joke. Unlock the bootloader and apps break, features vanish, and you're treated like malware. No one’s getting hacked because of this it’s just bad engineering and anti-user policy.
UX gets worse every year. Bloat, ads, broken updates and no way to fix it.
Rooting? Bootloader unlock? Penalized.
We’re not users just revenue streams trapped in locked hardware.
OEMs can’t ship working software, and they’ve stopped pretending to care.

An accessible open source keyboard!
