Googlification of FixBit app completed
This post is sort of an outsider commentary to news I seen at Mastodon. The news story described how Google decision to replace original FixBit app with pile of AI garbage and UX catastrophe caused storm of 1-star reviews. I will think about the side effects of this story, some of which span beyond the gadgets and tech. Google awful testing flow exposed Or possible total lack of proper testing. This sounds like at least one these happening inside Google: The focus groups for new app […]https://legends.house/googlification-of-fixbit-app-completed/

Latest bit of tech frustration: I'm trying to set up a Square reader so I can sell things at in-person markets, but Square's app won't let me use the reader because I'm running GrapheneOS. I'll have to set up an older phone with a burner Gmail I guess.
Not the first app to be a pain about this (banking apps too). It does make me wish there were stronger frameworks to reduce the need for people to have either a Google or Apple system to engage with institutions.

Phew - one of my worries about getting an EV was that I'd need an app - probably saturated in Google Services - to charge it.
Turns out I just need a contactless card.
(At least here in the UK.)

OMFG, hanging in an elevator ceiling and get a spam call on Google Meet! I don't even use that, why is it on my phone?!? @GrapheneOS it's very sad I can't install your distro on my Nothing phone.
Anyone know an alternative OS I can throw on this device to enable me to uninstall BS Google applications that I don't need (IE: all of them)?

Portsmouth City Council relies on companies' apps for some of their 'green' tech, for example eScooters or charging an EV. These companies don't have the natural alternative to view in a browser.
This means you're basically beholden to Google or Apple, which is a bit shit.
(I can download via Aurora Store but I'm trying to avoid that atm and - anyway - it's the principle that counts.)

The Register's AWS sovereign-cloud story shows how much "sovereign" still depends on provider promises. Personal scale is simpler: keep docs, tasks and a Markdown website in open-source tools you can leave. https://www.inlinestyle.it/ #opensource #EU #degoogle

Apps that don't work on #eos and my alternatives:
- #Thuisbezorgd - mobile website
- #Museumkaart - physical card
- Google Pay - debit card holder on phone
- Relay for Reddit - #Nora social browser
- iPostal1 - mobile website
- #bol.com - mobile websiteAnd for #Duolingo, I needed to install the Google Speech System (and it's the only app I've authorized it with).
It's possible to drop Google on #Android!

Features:
PWA
P2P
End to end encryption
Signal protocol
Post-Quantum cryptography
Multimedia
File transfer
Video calls
Local-first
No registration
No installation
No database
TURN serverThe live demo is up and running now. We want to build this around what you actually need, so please give the demo a spin and share your feedback, feature requests, or general thoughts in the comments.

I realized a few months ago that in large part, the AI wars are over and Google has won. There's room for a competitor, but they want at least one competitor around, the same way Microsoft wanted Apple in the 1990s.
Axios, catching up to where the rest of us were >= 10 years ago (2016, when Axios was founded). I mean, what year did you become fully aware that Google had left "Don't be evil." behind? https://www.axios.com/2026/05/23/google-search-internet-social-media #Google #degoogle #tech #AI #LLM #resistance #labor #generalstrike

With Google choosing ensloppification, here's a recommendation for an independent search engine to try.
Mojeek (on the Fedi at @Mojeek ) is an independent search engine based out if the UK. Unlike the various front ends to Bing, it runs its own web crawler.
The most impressive feature is you enter the thing you want to search for, and it returns a list of website links.
