yes, thx for that hint indeed! Looks like I have to jump into that cold water indeed. (have to educate myself first on what that all involves exactly…)

I just am also frustrated that these big corps can make such anti consumer decisions and get away with it …

elsewhere is mentioned adoptable storage was removed by google though… ?

so that means we should just never loose our phones i guess … … or switch to the dark (customOS) side …

vanilla android 15 (auto-updated by sony/google)

has to do with Pixel not having an SD card slot, so Google stopped developing those part of the code

that or they want to promote their cloud offering …

isn’t encrypting an SD card a very basic feature though?

I don’t get it …

so far only option i found (but did not yet try) is for a rooted phone:

(looks like my answer got lost, retrying…)

Thanks a lot for answering!!

Does anyone know how this adopt thing works on an Android 15 on Xperia? We are a bit lost as we cannot find anything in the settings … :(

it works similar, yes.

I just wanted to note that fediverse could be even more useful if it had the portability built in.

ps: for mobile it’s called MNP : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_number_portability

right, I forgot to mention this option. Indeed a possibility

it requies some technical knowledge and is not something many people do, probably less than 1%

compare that to phone number portability is available automatically to everyone (perhaps dependent on juristriction)

What I meant is: you cannot switch a specific email from one provider to another. Only option is for you to change your email address.

Compare that to say mobile phone numbers: there you have the option to keep your number when switching providers.

Portability of email is what’s missing.

edit: typo

at the host level yes, but not at the user level

time to switch to graphene or e/os?

he had to wait 2h? I missed that …

Eyeopener for anyone who wasn’t following every single move Trump/Musk did since January.

And this only covers the corruption part. It doesn’t even go into betrayal of allies or becoming a Ministry of Putin’s.

We. Must. Wake. Up. Everybody. Everywhere.

We must not tolerate any normalizing of this. at. all.

We must talk to our friends, family, colleagues and open their eyes. everybody. everywhere.

transfer our money to his own budget (example by: Trump shitcoin, dinner with Trump, transferring congress’ power of the purse to himself, Elon’s contracts)

not only money ftom ordinary people, he’s also using those means to accept bribes - see this r/50501 comment about Senator Murphy - an eyeopener !!!

or: he “lets” Musk do it?

thanks for this link ! terrifying read

exactly! horrible!
