Stefano MarinelliMy post from yesterday (<a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@stefano/113962852422322623" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/@stefano/113962852422322623</a>) generated some very interesting comments. It seems that this behavior is confirmed and not just on Samsung devices, but also on devices from other manufacturers. I knew that many Chinese manufacturers, in order to keep prices low, made deals with third-party companies to pre-install apps and games, but I didn’t think this would happen on high-end, expensive phones, and not only installing apps but also underlying services.In my opinion, this behavior is unacceptable, and no, having to accept a document hundreds of pages long (otherwise it becomes impossible to use the device you bought and paid for) is not an excuse.And it's not because the services are from Meta - they could be from anyone. I don't want third-party services installed on a device I buy, period. I can accept (though, I’m saying it lightly - personally, I don’t want any useless background services) manufacturer services, for the purpose of making the device (more) usable, but I certainly don't want shady processes that collect (and, I assume, send) personal data to other companies.I’m more and more glad I installed <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/GrapheneOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GrapheneOS</a> on my Pixel.<a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Privacy</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Security" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Security</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Android" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Android</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Smartphones" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Smartphones</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/DataCollection" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DataCollection</a>

Weltschmerz à GogoThe Trump transition team wants the incoming administration to drop a car-crash reporting requirement opposed by Elon Musk’s Tesla, according to a document seen by Reuters, a move that could cripple the government’s ability to investigate and regulate the safety of vehicles with automated-driving systems.Musk, the world's richest person, spent more than a quarter of a billion dollars helping Trump get elected president in November. Removing the crash-disclosure provision would particularly benefit Tesla, which has reported most of the crashes – more than 1,500 – to federal safety regulators under the program. Tesla has been targeted in National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) investigations, including three stemming from the data.The recommendation to kill the crash-reporting rule came from a transition team tasked with producing a 100-day strategy for automotive policy. The group called the measure a mandate for "excessive" data collection, the document seen by Reuters shows.<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MurderIsLegalIfYoureRich" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MurderIsLegalIfYoureRich</a><a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/trump-transition-recommends-scrapping-car-crash-reporting-requirement-opposed-by-2024-12-13/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/trump-transition-recommends-scrapping-car-crash-reporting-requirement-opposed-by-2024-12-13/</a><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Musk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Musk</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Trump</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SelfDrivingCars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SelfDrivingCars</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Tesla" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Tesla</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HighwaySafety" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#HighwaySafety</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DataCollection" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DataCollection</a>
