Plattenalbum is a Modern-Looking #MPD Client for Linux
▻https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2024/03/plattenalbum-mpd-client
This week I came across Plattenalbum, a modern GTK4/libadwaita frontend for the #music_player Daemon (MPD). MPD remains a popular way to make music stored on a server or a computer available on other devices, with capable, user-friendly frontend clients for mobile and desktop devices a crucial element. And Plattenalbum looks a solid choice. Note: this is not a “why you should use MPD” article nor a guide to installing MPD on Ubuntu. MPD isn’t an ‘everyone’ solution. If all you need to do is play music files you keep on your device then a regular Linux music player, e.g., Rhythmbox, […] You’re reading Plattenalbum is a Modern-Looking MPD Client for Linux, a blog post from OMG!

#Frontex and #Europol: How refugees are tracked digitally
EU agencies advise increased confiscation and extraction of asylum seekers‘ mobile phones and now provide a manual on how to do so. Apps to encrypt or disguise locations are disliked in the report as „countermeasures“ to surveillance.
Often the mobile phones they carry are the only connection between refugees and their relatives and friends in their country of origin or elsewhere. They contain contacts, personal communication as well as photos and videos as a memory of the home countries. Only within the European Union is it possible to apply for asylum in its member states. Therefore, the phones are also an indispensable aid for navigating to receiving countries and finding out about conditions and support there.
Asylum seekers‘ mobile phones are also of increasing interest to authorities. As punishment for irregular entry, border guards in Greece and Croatia, and most recently at the EU’s external border with Belarus, destroy them before abandoning their owners at sea or forcibly push them back. Police forces, on the other hand, confiscate the phones in order to gain information about routes used and people helping to flee.
Phones used to „lock, conceal and disguise“
Frontex is actually responsible for preventing irregular migration. „migrant smuggling“ is considered cross-border, organised crime, so its prosecution also falls under Europol’s jurisdiction. Five years ago, Europol opened an #Anti-Migrant_Smuggling_Centre (#EMSC) in The Hague. Europol has also set up two analysis projects, „#Phoenix“ and „#Migrant_Smuggling“, where all interested and involved member states can store and access information.
Both agencies monitor the #internet and social media, looking for any indications of „migrant smuggling“ there. Intelligence also comes from a „#Joint_Operational_Office“ in Vienna, in which Europol and the German Federal Police are also involved. An „#Internet_Referral_Unit“ (#EU_IRU) at Europol reports online presence of unwanted support for the transportation of refugees to the Internet service providers for removal.
Frontex and Europol have now published a report on the „#Digitalisation of people smuggling“. However, it is less about the tools of „smugglers“ and more about the phones of refugees. In the guide, the two EU agencies give handouts on the most commonly used messengers and how the authorities can access the content stored there.
No apps for „smuggling of migrants“ discovered
Over several pages, the report presents various apps and services, including Facebook, Instagram, Signal, Skvpe, Telegram, Viber, WhatsApp. Also included are popular VPN services or apps for encryption. They are described as „countermeasures“ to police surveillance. Frontex and Europol also list tools that can be used to disguise #GPS positions or phone numbers, calling them apps to „lock, conceal and disguise“.
Also listed are various mapping applications and open geographic data sources, including Maps.me and Google Maps, which can be used to share coordinates, routes and other information. This concerns, for example, immigration possibilities via the Eastern Mediterranean and the so-called Balkan routes. According to the report, these applications are used to a much lesser extent for routes from Russia and Ukraine or via Poland. Its contents were primarily aimed at asylum seekers from the Middle East, North Africa and Southeast Asian countries.
Frontex repeatedly claimed in recent years that there were apps specifically developed for „migrant smuggling“. The German government also claims to have heard „that so-called apps by smugglers exist, with which offers of boats and information about conditions in various destination countries can be retrieved“. According now to Frontex and Europol, however, such digital tools have not been discovered so far.
„Special tactics“ to obtain password or pin code
At the end of the report, the agencies give tips on how to seize and read mobile communication devices. According to the report, they come from „specialists“ and „experts“ from the #Centre_for_Cybercrime and the #Centre_for_Combating_Migrant_Smuggling at Europol. Recommendations from „other sources“ were also taken into account.
According to the „#checklist_for_facilitating_forensic_extraction“, the devices should be connected to a power bank and kept in a Faraday bag so that they do not connect to the internet. In this way, the authorities want to avoid their owners deleting content remotely. If the police have the PIN, the phone should be put into flight mode.
The authorities should „ideally“ also confiscate charging cables, memory cards and other SIM cards in the possession of the refugees. All items should be sealed and marked with the personal data of their owners. To facilitate their analysis, a device password or PIN code for forensic analysis should be provided „whenever possible“. According to the agencies, this can be done either by „addressing this matter to the user“ or by using „special tactics“.
The report leaves open whether this also includes exerting pressure or coercion on the asylum seekers or rather technical measures.

Naissance de la Fédération transnationale des coursiers (FTC)« Transnational Federation of Courriers » (TFC) - Gresea
▻https://gresea.be/Naissance-de-la-Federation-transnationale-des-coursiers-FTC-Transnational
La Fédération transnationale des coursiers (FTC) est née le vendredi 26 octobre 2018 : un nouveau mouvement social européen initié par les travailleur.e.s de plateformes de livraison de repas chauds telles que Deliveroo, Foodora, Ubereats, Glovo, Stuart. Le bébé pèse tout de même vingt collectifs et syndicats nationaux, tous acteurs de la lutte ! Précoce, son premier cri a été : transparence des données et salaire minimum horaire pour tou.te.s les coursier.e.s[[Ces deux mots d’ordre font partie des nombreuses revendications communes répertoriées dans une charte transnationale pour le secteur, à publier prochainement. Les priorités seront à définir au fur et à mesure !
La toute nouvelle structure est issue de l’Assemblée générale européenne des livreur.e.s intitulée « Riders4rights » organisée par le réseau AlterSummit [1] les 25 et 26 octobre à Bruxelles. Soixante livreur.e.s, représentants des collectifs nationaux et/ou syndicats issus de treize pays [2] se sont rassemblés sur ces deux journées ainsi qu’une vingtaine de représentants d’organisations syndicales, ayant statut d’observateurs sur la première session.
Bien qu’atomisés par les plateformes, les collectifs de livreur.e.s ont réussi le tour de force d’unir leurs multiples luttes locales en une lutte à l’échelle européenne. La démarche de l’AlterSummit est simple : puisque les plateformes qui ont créé ces nouvelles formes de sous-emploi et de travail à la demande sont des entreprises multinationales, la seule riposte possible est bien celle d’une mobilisation transnationale. L’assemblée a permis deux moments essentiels : un échange entre les collectifs sur leurs expériences nationales respectives en matière de formes d’organisations, de luttes, et de revendications, suivi d’un passage à une charte de revendications communes. Une première action a eu lieu le 26 octobre en soirée pour fêter la naissance de la FTC : une manifestation à vélo des participants rejoignant la masse critique [3]. La nouvelle née prévoit, pour la suite, une série d’actions nationales simultanées dans plusieurs pays.
La FTC pose ainsi une pierre importante sur le long chemin de la construction d’un mouvement social européen que Pierre Bourdieu appelait déjà de ses vœux il y a 20 ans [4].

On-demand home cleaning service Kisafi launches in Kenya
▻https://disrupt-africa.com/2016/04/on-demand-home-cleaning-service-kisafi-launches-in-kenya
On-demand home cleaning and laundry service Kisafi has launched in Nairobi, Kenya, aiming to bring consumers convenience at the click of a button and spread across the region.
Kisafi – the name means “it is clean” in Swahili – allows homeowners to use the web or an Android app to have their laundry picked up and taken care of or their homes cleaned.
The platform has been in private beta since December but launched to the general public on Nairobi today, with launches in Tanzania, Uganda and Rwanda to follow before a rollout in West Africa at a later date.
Complete with a founding team with backgrounds at McKinsey & Co, Citigroup and Accenture, Kisafi has a quality control and assurance centre with modern commercial cleaning equipment in Nairobi, and offers a marketplace of former and current hospitality and hotel employees.
It has signed partnerships with two of the top laundry and dry cleaning service providers in Nairobi, and also has a tech-enablement suite, including body cameras for the recording of the cleaning process and a high-grade photo filing system for before and after wash clothing pictures.
Co-founder Janet Otieno said Kisafi was trying to make premium laundry and home cleaning a utility that is available to everyone, and save people time.
“Given the rate of growth of the emerging affluent and middle class across Sub-Saharan Africa, coupled with the fast pace of work and life, every minute spent on chores counts,” she said.
“We asked folks that were part of our closed beta why they love the service, and unanimously it was at least two things – ease and affordability.”
Kisafi – which has seed investment from angels in Lagos and New York – said it was aiming to take a significant portion of emerging affluent market, and has a pan-African focus.
“This is reflected in our team composition. Our founding and advisory team is made up of folks from Kenya, Nigeria and South Africa,” Otieno said.
Des marchés aux esclaves sur Instagram et autres applications | Slate.fr
▻http://www.slate.fr/story/183654/marches-aux-esclaves-instagram-applications-travailleuses-domestiques-kafala
Sur l’écran du smartphone, les photos défilent par milliers : des portraits de femmes, la plupart originaires de pays d’Afrique (Guinée, Ghana, Éthiopie, Soudan…) ou d’Asie (Philippines, Népal, Inde…), répertoriées par ethnies, avec un prix affiché : elles sont disponibles à l’achat, pour quelques milliers d’euros.
Le commerce illégal de travailleuses domestiques, qui fonctionne comme un réseau de trafic d’êtres humains, prospère tranquillement sur les applications mobiles. Sur Instagram par exemple, propriété de Facebook, on peut trouver des publications boostées par certains hashtags, proposant d’acheter une femme et ses services domestiques –la négociation aura tout simplement lieu par message privé.
D’autres applications, comme 4Sale ou Haraj, approuvées et disponibles sur Google Play et l’App Store d’Apple, proposent des offres similaires.
Marché aux esclaves
« Ce qu’ils font, c’est promouvoir un marché aux esclaves en ligne », alerte Urmila Bhoola, rapporteuse spéciale de l’ONU sur les formes contemporaines d’esclavage. « Si Google, Apple, Facebook ou toute autre société héberge des applications comme celles-ci, elles doivent être tenues pour responsables », ajoute-t-elle.
Spotify, The Apple App Store & Why PWAs Rule
▻https://love2dev.com/pwa/spotify-apple-appstore
Comment Apple décourage au maximum le développement des PWAs...
...et pourquoi c’est un combat d’arrière-garde perdu d’avance !
(et avant tout une histoire de GROS sous)
The more I discuss the merits of progressive web applications over native apps with clients and potential clients I have formulated a simple way to determine if you should develop and ship a mobile app:
“Does your app help sell iPhones or generate significant store revenue for Apple?”
If your answer is yes then you should think about developing an app. Otherwise a progressive web app is probably your better choice.
We also know that consumers are tired of mobile apps. Today no one downloads apps anymore. Sure there are app downloads, but by and large the fad has ended. Most app downloads are to new phones, ‘restoring’ a user’s existing apps.
[...]
Right now there are many large brands taking that journey. Uber, Lyft, Twitter and others are in the process of moving to a progressive web app solution. Most have PWAs with feature parity to their native apps. They typically have moved to a PWA as the client code base and use a hybrid wrapper like Cordova to put the solution in the store.
Blocking updates is another major aspect of Spotify’s complaints. I know they are not alone, I talk to app owners all the time that express frustration with long update cycles and rejections. It is a trail of frustration for many.
On the web, you find a bug, fix it and deploy an update as fast as you can. That could literally be a couple of minutes to just under an hour if you have your ducks in a row, and it is not a major bug of course.
I know some sites update 1500 or more times a day. Try that with your native app.
[...]
Good luck doing that with Apple in the way. Developers I speak with tell me they expect 2-4 weeks before bug deployments are actually released in the store.

Living with PTSD can be very challenging for veterans trying to integrate back into civilian life. As part of dealing with battle experiences, about 20 percent of veterans end up abusing drugs or alcohol after they return home, according to the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs.They state that PTSD affects roughly 33 percent of soldiers. The symptoms of PTSD are difficult to live with and can include depression, difficulty sleeping, isolation, aggression, irritation, fear, and self-destructive behaviors. Veterans use alcohol and drugs to lessen the symptoms, but such dependency inevitably makes things worse.The VA also reports that 20 veterans suffering from PTSD take their lives every day. Because of that statistic, developers have created some innovative #apps to help vets who have (...)

The idea being to create static markup with JavaScript that is powered by communicating with APIs.The reason this stack has become so popular is because it allows websites or apps to be bundled up and served at “the edge” via a CDN.
