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 ......

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 ...

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)

A friend of mine got herself a new Xperia 10 and wants to encrypt the SD card. It seems this option is no longer available - previously there was a "Encrypt SD card" option in settings - but no more. Apparently it was also possible to use the SD card as "Adoptable storage" - but no more.

Is it at all possible to encrypt an SD card on Android (15) or is de-googling the only option?

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

Trump announces strategic crypto reserve including bitcoin, Solana, XRP and more (www.cnbc.com)
 

he said in a post on Truth Social.

“A U.S. Crypto Reserve will elevate this critical industry after years of corrupt attacks by the Biden Administration, which is why my Executive Order on Digital Assets directed the Presidential Working Group to move forward on a Crypto Strategic Reserve that includes XRP, SOL, and ADA,” the post said. “I will make sure the U.S. is the Crypto Capital of the World.”

“And, obviously, BTC and ETH, as other valuable Cryptocurrencies, will be at the heart of the Reserve,” he said in a follow-up post. “I also love Bitcoin and Ethereum!”

Norway rethinks €1.7 trillion sovereign fund to boost support for Ukraine (www.euractiv.com)
 

Norway is considering tapping its sovereign wealth fund to dramatically increase its support for Ukraine amid signs that US military backing is waning. Europe is in crisis mode after a bitter clash between Trump and Zelenskyy at the White House, and the Trump administration is reportedly considering cutting off all military supplies to Ukraine. Norway is sitting on €1.7 trillion in the world's largest sovereign wealth fund, including an estimated €109 billion in war-related profits from increased gas prices in 2022 and 2023. The Nordic country has so far spent €3.35 billion on support to Ukraine - an amount described on Thursday as "pathetic" and "reprehensible" by the editors of major Swedish and Danish newspapers, whose countries, according to the same data, have contributed €5.41 billion and €8.05 billion respectively. "Norway is one of the few countries that has large amounts of money readily available, and we must therefore multiply our support for Ukraine immediately," Liberal Party leader Guri Melby said on Saturday.
