📱 Goodbye Google as we know it? Google is in court, an anti-trust lawsuit. Several Justice Department lawyers argue that Google should not only sell its Chrome browser, but also break it up into smaller pieces. Selling Chrome is for one simple reason: It is a way to keep millions of users tied not only to their browser, but also to their search engine and associated tools. But here comes the best part: What about Android? Well, while they won't get rid of Android, they do want to do something: Separate Android from the rest of Google products. Basically, they would force Google services and other apps like YouTube, Maps, etc. to be installed separately. If this were the case, people would have a totally clean Android by default in some cases (at the expense of what each manufacturer introduces) Perhaps better times are coming when it will be easier to use Android without having to rely on Google services.

📱 Improvements to Signal video calls Signal has recently shown a new feature for its users: You won't have to group someone up to join the call. This makes it much easier to make video calls without having to go through what happens to many people: They get rid of dozens of groups that they only use once or every very long time. And what's so special about it? In my opinion, it could make development easier so that you can talk to anyone, whether they have Signal or not. This is something that is not currently there and could make Signal a more widely used app, which I very much wish for. Other news (Less relevant): · Raise hand button · Emoji reactions · Tab dedicated to calls · More display options · Updated call settings

🗺 Map of cameras monitoring your car | DeFlock During a trip from Washington to Alabama, Will Freeman began noticing all the cameras he was driving around in, and upon investigation discovered they were automatic license plate readers (ALPRs), primarily used by police. In Huntsville, Freeman noticed these cameras forming a ring around the city center, leading him to start DeFlock on Open Street Map to map license plate surveillance camera locations around the world to determine their location and address. To date, DeFlock has identified more than 1,700 cameras in the United States and more than 5,600 worldwide. The project also aims to offer navigation routes that allow drivers to avoid these cameras, although it also indicates that in some places this is impossible. Which makes DeFlocks a fundamental tool to highlight this and try to find options. Open source project DeFlock is mapping the locations of license plate surveillance cameras around the world. The tool is DeFlock:

Spot, map, and resist automated license plate readers (ALPRs) near you.

Bye bye paywall. Excellent tool.
