Free Software Foundation Europe pushes EU to force Google to allow AI uninstalls on Android by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels Users should be able to fully uninstall AI-based features from Android devices and be able to access interoperability functions, free from Google’s verification requirements, the European Commission has heard as part of an Android interoperability consultation under the Digital Markets Act. These measures were proposed by the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) last week when it submitted its documentation. The FSFE noted that Google had started silently installing AI models without telling users. It noted that the EU’s DMA requires companies like Google to allow users to uninstall pre-loaded software from their devices, but in the case of the AI models Google is installing, they reinstall if you delete them, contravening the DMA. To get Google back under control, the FSFE has told the European Commission that there needs to be improvements within the Android Open Source Project (AOSP). First, it said that users should be able to fully remove pre-loaded AI components from their devices, with companies being prohibited from silently reinstalling or reactivating them. Second, access to Android interoperability features should not be contingent on registration, authorization, or contractual relationships with Google. This pertains to Google’s attempt to force developers to register with Google, even to publish apps to alternative app stores like F-Droid. Discussing its submission, Lucas Lasota, FSFE Legal Programme Manager, said: Google is planning to roll out its Android Developer Certification in September 2026. This will force every Android app developer to register with Google before their software can be installed on certified Android devices, but it should affect those who have removed Google Apps from their device. The program is controversial because it entails the signing of contracts and payment of account fees to Google, as well as the handing over of the identities of developers. It said: The FSFE said that if the Commission’s draft measures remain unchanged, then Google will be allowed to make developers verify their identity. The FSFE believes that asking developers to register is contrary to the text and spirit of the law. In summary, the FSFE has told the Commission that no developer should need a Google account, a Play Store presence, or any agreement with Google to access Android’s interoperability features.

Question
Zanatar
What is HDTV-LOL
Last week I had posted for help on if Xvid format will work on VCD format. I got the answer I needed. Such as how Nero will convert it to Mpeg1 format, and then burn it as a VCD.
Well last night, I missed recording this week`s episode of the Practice, so I went to find it to download via Bit Torrent. There are 2 versions offered to download. Once being in Xvid format, which I know will work. But I try to avoid download Xvid if I can, since it does take 30 mins or so for Nero to convert. If possible, I try to find episodes of shows that I download, that are already in Mpeg1 format.
But the second format that this show was being offered as, to download, is HDTV-LOL. Now I know HDTV is (high definition Televsion), but what is the LOL extention mean? And what format is this? Is this Mpeg1 or in a VCD ready format for nero to burn? Or will it be converted by nero as well?
If it is, VCD capable or if nero can convert, then which of the two (Xvid or HDTV-LOL) will be a higher quality viewing.
Now I know the obvious comment will be, well HDTV is for people who have HDTV tv`s. I don`t. So I don't know what will happen if I try it. ie: If it will work. If it converts faster by Nero. Or no conversion at all like an Mpeg 1 would be.
Essentially more then anything, I want to know if it will first of all work, and if so, then if Nero needs to convert it etc. I`m always looking to save time. So if Nero doesn`t have to convert it, then I`ll know that HDTV is a format I can use to download for other shows, to then burn as VCD and save time to avoid Nero`s conversion , like it does for Xvid format.
