Automatic updates broke your phone; the fix is a highly technical manual process.

https://kbin.social/m/androiddev is more appropriate for this type of post.

 

The 2020 lawsuit said Google was deceiving people into thinking that they could control the information they're willing to share.

For me, the question is whether I have the right to use a device I bought as I want or not. There is, rightly, a lot of talk about "right to repair," but now the issue is becoming "right to use".
Can I install an old application that I still find useful or should be the operating system to decide if i can use it, without there being an incompatibility issue?
Can I decide what permissions I want to give an application or should the Play store (and protect) decide without appeal what I can do?

 

But it is for security reasons - it is always about security reasons when old devices and now even old apps have to be thrown away.

This could be useful. I will add it in the to-do list.

 

For new readers of the magazine, shell4kbin is an Android app that creates a dedicated browser for the kbin.social site.

I am developing the app so as to improve the use of the site based on my experience of using it and also your feedback.

Since the first version of the app, the following have been added: css and js injection, a menu where there are various settings and direct links on various pages of the site.

In the latest version, I have added a new setting to display links in the menu for subreddits so that I can follow some specific subs - which in my experience are not yet replicable in terms of content here - without having to "leave" the site.
