vanilla android 15 (auto-updated by sony/google)

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 ...

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

at the host level yes, but not at the user level
