My #fosdem learning today: #Linux on phones has made huge progress since I last checked.

The fact that non-techy people can buy Linux phones off the shelve that just work *and* are really slick devices is 🤩🤩

It's crucial for us to be ready as a community when #Google finally takes away #AOSP from us.

Check out the phones from @jolla and @furilabs.

Réflexion connexe : il pourrait y avoir une scène Unix mainstream (Fedora) et une scène Unix underground (BSD), structurées autour de la facilité de l’usage personnel (pour des lycéen‧nes non-anglophones) ou de celle de patcher des programmes, avec le système de ports. La question du bloat devient primordiale du point de vue de la complexité des ISA et du temps de compilation ; ma copine m’a brièvement commenté du code assembleur et j’ai découvert une sorte d’écosystème incroyablement stimulant : en un mot, la scène Unix underground semble centrée autour de la notion pragmatiste d’expérience (cf. Zask, 2 011), complètement évacuée par la scène Unix mainstream.

Le véganisme « électif » empêche-t-il la constitution d’un véganisme mainstream ?

(De la même manière que #Gemini représente une menace pour #Google de par sa capacité de mettre une expérience Unix mainstream en contact direct avec une expérience Unix underground — ainsi que pour plusieurs autres raisons : pas de trackers, lecture seule, pas d’intermédiaires ou de pile, etc.)

Really, the only thing you need to know about Google's agentic #AI #Chrome "Auto Browsing" feature is that #Google says YOU are responsible for all actions the agentic AI takes on your behalf.

That's the whole ballgame. Right off the cliff. Don't touch it. Don't use it. Don't get anywhere near it.

Earlier, in June 2025, we took part in the workshop organised by the Commission on #Google's #DMA compliance, where we raised issues related to #interoperability.

In particular, similar problems #FreeSoftware developers are facing with #Apple, like discretionary power to deny interoperability, the lack of transparency, and anti-competitive practices.

In the period of August-November 2025, the FSFE took part in a comprehensive study regarding #Google’s control over #interoperability in #AOSP.

In particular, the study focused on how the company's limiting access to critical interoperability can hinder Free Software projects.

The study was discussed in the @article19 #DMA Symposium and reviewed by the @EUCommission

A summary of the discussions conducted at the Symposium was later published at https://www.techpolicy.press/making-the-digital-markets-act-developer-friendly/

Today, the @EUCommission opened a process under the #DMA to regulate how #Google handles #interoperability within #Android

The :fsfe: FSFE has been working intensively over the last two years to improve #DMA interoperability for #Apple and #Google users.

We will monitor how the Commission implements the interoperability rules further, ensuring DMA enforcement is Free Software-friendly.

The European Commission is on fire again today. Like it! #DMA #Google
