Hell Yeah we've got @privacysafe apps running on the #PinePhone #smartphone

Thanks @mikalai for the photos. We'll get more website-ready ones up soon but I had to share with our #social community!!!!!!111

Stay Tuned https://privacysafe.app

I noticed a #feature that every #phone and #laptop should have but doesn't: Easy one click, or very feq click prevention of #ScreenLock. I am playing the flute and when I'm displaying sheet music on my laptop or on my phone if I have no other option, I can't touch the screen every few seconds. I'd like to set the screen to be always on, as easily as enabling location tracking or bluetooth.

It feels like there's been a growing number of posts about folks wanting to ditch their smartphones and apps and the realities of doing so.
I kept trying to refind those posts and they're gone so I'm just gonna share this also incredibly timely video about doing just that.

One UI 7 rollout will restart today!

After Samsung paused the rollout of the One UI 7 update due to a bug in which users are unable to unlock their phones after reboot, we had seen something that may have led us to something big.

Starting from April 15th, which is today, One UI 7 will be rolled out to the Galaxy S24 phones again, starting from Korea and all affected countries to the global release that was supposed to happen on the 14th. Here’s what the post said:

One UI 7 will be pushed to S24 series users today

The timelines will be updated to align with this rollout and to let the users know when their device will be updated to One UI 7. The long wait for One UI 7 had frustrated users due to lack of official communication at the time, and the rollout pause further exacerbated the problem, which was the climax of the story. Now, we’ve come to the resolution and we should be seeing users get the One UI 7 update soon.

the reason…

Exclusive: Telus claims that Galaxy S23 will get One UI 7 on April 22nd!

Telus has just updated their software update schedule for their users in Canada. We are surprised to learn that the Galaxy S24 and the Z Fold/Flip 6 listings have not been taken down. Instead, we saw three new entries that claimed that the following devices would be getting the One UI 7 update in Canada:

• Galaxy S23: April 22nd
• Galaxy S23+: April 22nd
• Galaxy S23 Ultra: April 22nd

If there are no further delays to the One UI 7 release schedule, we could see the Canadian users getting the One UI 7 update in the abovementioned date. Telus, again, warns that the dates are approximate and may change.

So, with Samsung halting the One UI 7 rollout for the 2024 flagships, will the release-critical issues be fixed before April 22nd?

Opinion: Less time on the cell phone has added value

Constant accessibility and the internet help us at work and with networking, but we also miss out on a lot as a result. Less is more, says Tom Leon Zacharek.

#Smartphone: Vor ein paar Jahren wurde ich noch ausgelacht, weil ich kein Handy hatte. Mein Artikel "Mein Leben ohne Handy" stieß auf unerwartet starke Resonanz. Inzwischen wandeln sich die Dinge. Ich sammle schon länger Schlagzeilen wie die folgenden - und deren Schlagzahl nimmt ganz schön zu:
