Worth repeating while everyone is asking about recent changes Google have made "influenced" by certain characters in videos.

GrapheneOS is NOT going anywhere.

GrapheneOS will CONTINUE to support existing devices.

GrapheneOS WILL support Pixel10.

GrapheneOS WILL be ported to Android 16 QPR1 as planned.

Current changes have no bearing.

A few days ago, we finally merged an early implementation of link layers (layers linking to external files) into @GIMP@floss.social.

This has various usages, e.g. the ability to work at several people on a same image by linking a separate document (e.g. someone working on backgrounds and another on characters). Or again when working with different software.

For instance, in this example, the layer links a #SVG file. As soon as it is saved in #Inkscape, #GIMP picks up the updated version automatically:

@wafflesies@infosec.exchange @argo@infosec.exchange It isn't an issue for GrapheneOS because it doesn't have Google Mobile Services to enforce rules about which apps can be installed. If people install sandboxed Google Play, that doesn't have the ability to block installing apps since they're regular sandboxed apps with no special access. Therefore, whatever rules they come up with for requirements apps must meet to be installed are not relevant. Play Integrity API is what's problematic: apps banning using non-GMS devices/OSes.

@kaia Furthermore, a very important detail: The image is stored *encrypted* on AWS. It can - using current technical capabilities - only be accessed using the key, which along with the URL is stored in the QR code.

So all in all, given that there usually is an acceptable alternative (on-site photo booths) that avoids cloud uploads altogether, and that images are stored encrypted on AWS servers, I see no big reason for panic here.

This is definitely a KILLER use case. I very much hope it gets built!

La recensione di @morrolinux@mastodon.uno sul FLX1 (Furiphone): lo smartphone Linux che offre un'alternativa valida a Google, ma con qualche limitazione

Il FLX1 (noto anche come Furiphone) è uno smartphone che utilizza #FuryOS, un sistema operativo basato su Linux. È un grande passo avanti rispetto ad altri dispositivi simili, pur non essendo ancora pronto per il grande pubblico a causa di problemi con app essenziali come quelle bancarie
