Felt like a big 'ol rugpull. And what of phones that got abandoned by their manufacturer? Custom ROMs trip SafetyNet. Not so bad when it was only things like Android Pay, but then Google opened up the SafetyNet check to *EVERY* dev to use, and then you had a bunch of apps doing SNet checks for no real good reason other than as a total middle finger for those of us rolling third party ROMs/have our phones deeply customized.
(Further continued)
A convo in a group chat reminded me to touch on something: Why I fell out hard with Android.
I was with Android from the very beginning. Android felt built for enthusiast users who wanted to play around. You could ignore that aspect if you so wished but it was nice for those of us who liked to play around.
...until Google decided to unleash the blight that is SafetyNet upon us, and let slip the biggest "fuck you" to those of us here from the very beginning.

Proton Mail does not care about blind people. Straight up.
Which does not make them all that unusual, but it is striking. Especially given their posture on the importance of everyone using <strike>their</strike> private, secure email.
Almost as if it's all a *gasp!* marketing ploy.
LOLOL
Yet another mandatory upgrade of the Proton mail bridge, yet they still can't get the thumb out of the sphincter to add even a modicum of #accessibility.
Like, I don't know, labeling their controls. Or, making the password field, the entire point of the app, focusable so that I can f*cking read it and use my email.
Oh well!
And yes, I've sent them emails. Dozens, actually. As have several others. They do not care.

Dat is helemaal waar.
Maar 'het is groot en heeft veel geld, dus ze zullen het wel beter kunnen' is een gedachte die volstrekt logisch lijkt te klinken.
Je zou moeten denken 'het is groot en heeft veel geld en veel macht, dus de kans dat we door ze genaaid gaan worden is heel groot' is een veel realistischer gedachte.
@tobi @emilygorcenski Getting kind of abuser vibes from that, tbqh
@koen @SIDN Bij de bewering dat we "binnen Nederland geen geschikte alternatieven hebben" kan ik me ook niet aan de indruk onttrekken dat dit verdacht veel klinkt als iets dat ik vaker zie in vooral startup-kringen:
Helemaal enthousiast worden over de fancy dingen die AWS aanbiedt, vervolgens je hele systeem ontwerpen rond de aannames die alleen voor het (gesloten, niet-interoperabele) ecosysteem van Amazon gelden, en vervolgens verzuchten dat AWS nu eenmaal de enige optie is - zonder kritisch te kijken naar hoe dies eigen ontwerpkeuzes dat probleem veroorzaakt hebben, en hoe het vermeden had kunnen worden.
Ik heb nog eens goed nagedacht over wat @SIDN nu eigenlijk van plan is en mijn bezwaar komt hier op neer:
Open Systemen, Open Standaarden horen voor #SIDN en ook voor het registratiesysteem van SIDN heilig te zijn!
Ik vind dat we er met z'n allen voor moeten pleiten dat het registratiesysteem van een registry (een essentiële organisatie voor de toegang tot het internet) gebouwd zou moeten worden in uitsluitend #OpenSource Software, uitsluitend op basis van volledig open #standaarden gedraaid op volledig open #systemen
We betalen daar immers met z'n allen voor, als gebruikers van de .nl domeinnaam en als belastingbetalers.
En wat mij betreft is er geen enkele goede reden om daar ook maar 1 cent van uit te geven aan een mensenrechten schendend, in de USA gebaseerd, big tech bedrijf. Het is goedkoper is wel de allerslechtste reden om dat te doen.
I really appreciate this video series: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIu1bD2jA4JMSJrieBJhqNC4owQxTVjfT
It's like those post-mortem analyses put out by work safety authorities, but specific to theme park ride accidents, without any of the sensationalism and with a lot of in-depth technical research.
(The newer videos clearly signpost upfront whether there will be accident footage/simulations, and at what timestamps; I don't remember whether that is also the case for older videos)

Strong views about abolishing oppression, hierarchy, agency, and self-governance - but I also trust people by default and give them room to grow, unless they give me reason not to. That all also applies to technology and how it's built.
