Adventures in "de-Googled" Android: The Pros and Cons of LineageOS and /e/OS

views comments

Do you think new phones are too expensive and/or too big? Extend your current cell phone's lifespan or revive a small-screen phone from the past with LineageOS, a volunteer-supported version of Android. I'll demonstrate how I installed Android 14 on a Google Pixel 3.

I'll share my experience choosing a compatible phone, installing the required PC software and drivers, troubleshooting errors, and returning the phone back to the OEM software. With LineageOS you can also unlock customization features not available on stock android, and partially ";de-Google"; your life.

We'll also cover /e/OS, a privacy-focused version of LineageOS for those who want to *completely* de-Google their life (at the expense of convenience).

Videos in mediaspace have a new look and feel.

The morning of Wednesday 8 January, we updated the look and feel of Kaltura videos by moving from Player 2 to Player 7. The new player has a cleaner look, some improvements to controls, and a new transcript viewer. Also thanks to the upgrade we can now allow owners and co-editors of videos with two feeds to download *both* recordings from the mediaspace website.

As of the upgrade and going forward all videos play on mediaspace in the new player. Also since the upgrade any video you embed in Canvas or elsewhere, with the built-in tools in Canvas or the embed code from mediaspace, will play with the new player. However, any videos embedded anywhere before the update will continue to play in Player 2.

To take advantage of the new player, and use a fully-supported player, we urge you to re-embed videos in Canvas or elsewhere, retracing the steps you took the first time.
