it took a while until people agreed the earth is not flat. different century, different level of media influence. but just saying.

good!

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 …

or: he “lets” Musk do it?

thanks for this link ! terrifying read
