  • Valve invents new Counter-Strike 2 loot boxes that successfully dodge anti-gambling regulations

    Jump

  • You get to see what you're paying for before you pay.

    Yes, for the first box. The box after is not shown. So its basically just „hey, if I open this Box, it could very well be that the next box will be a legendary knife”

    So you are just betting for what comes after that

  • Murena is launching a smartphone with a hardware kill switch again

  • It does not.

    You can install a Sandboxed Version of it, but not more

  • Please tell me, where I can enable Seedvault or another local backup service without having to root my phone first or use apps like shiziku.

    YES, I HAVE to use Murena services in order to back up my /e/ is phone without compromising security via root or shizuku. Prove me wrong, and send me a fucking video about it.

  • You are back with your Spam

    NOT on by default

    This is a Private OS. They should not have this integration, since there are more than enough FOSS alternatives.

    for paying customers only

    Dosent change my point.

    tries to anonymize the data

    Tries. Tries. Tries.

    They claim to be private. They incorporate a non private Service even though there are valid alternatives. Thats where this discussion starts and ends.

  • privacy-first company

    My

    wet

    asshole

    is a Privacy first company.

    They are worse then Linaege. Linaege at least supports local system backups. With /e/, you have to use their own unencrypted servers.

    (Also btw they support Phones with not anymore updated firmware, which partially allows script kiddies with a flipper zero to exploit your chipset)

    I can tattoo „privacy first” on the inside of my asscheek. Dosent mean it actually means anything.

    Like I said, /e/ is not at all better than LinaegeOS, but instead takes the OK LinaegeOS, adds their own insecure services, removes everything that could be more secure, and misrepresents what is essentially a LinaegeOS Flavor as

  • So this kill switch will auto delete all the telemetry /e/ collects by default, including the Voice data Sent to OpenAI? right? RIGHT?

    Btw, if you dont understand their text, let me translate it for you

    We took out loans from a bunch of venture capitalists in order to make a phone with a weird gimmick which is completely unnecessary since our OS collects your Data by default and dosent care about your Privacy at all anyway, just so we can please a crowd of tech hippies who have no idea about actual privacy but want to look cool by switching off their Camera after posting their 24/7 location on facebook and letting ChatGPT analyze their breakup text. (Also btw we have to somehow pay back those millions by raising our stock prizes, so stay tuned for our cloud selling your unencrypted photos because we have to enshittify).

    The only reason to have hardware switches is if you fear that you've been compromised. And if you've been compromised, why would you continue to use a compromised phone for things that need your location or access to your camera?

    And if you go in with the expectation of „this phone is going to be compromised”, just remove the Camera and everything and attach a Webcam or Mic for whenever you really need it. This way you can actually verify easily if its on, instead of having a mm button that can be easily toggled while putting the phone away

  • 'What a weird period of time they lived in.'

    Jump

  • Ah,yes

    Just so you know: Alpha men exist too, and there are Penis extensions. So its not Mysoginy, its just Societal assholery, and since we live in a patriarchy, this „society” is mostly Men.

  • Communism is not about an economy, but about freedom of science, education, and general peoples wellbeing

    So stop fucking measuring it by Capitalist standards

    Its like calling a Banana a lesser fruit because it has less seeds in it than a cocoa fruit.

  • Alternatives to GrapheneOS

    Jump

  • /e/ is not private at all

    They have a lot of telemetry already installed, their voice to text is sent directly to OpenAI, and their Cloud is not encrypted (and presumably in the US), so anyone can view all your data without a subpoena when (not if) their services get compromised

  • Alternatives to GrapheneOS

    Jump

  • No, it is not.

    They forked LinaegeOS, which is 0 security oriented, stripped it of all its private services (like Seedvault) and now want the user to pay a subscription for their non encrypted backup servers and a shitty DNS blocker

  • Is it just me or is everything updating its TOS agreement right now?

  • I have to use Hand written notes, so I'm using Saber Notes with my own Nextcloud as backup

  • NVIDIA GPU market domination hits almost 100%, AMD dwindles, Intel non-existent

    Jump

  • „The Market” is not a good measure. Hell, its not even a measure at all. No consumer is able to pull any good info from this article.

    Its the equivalent of „How much money has been spent of products by company xy”, completely disregarding if the products sold are even competing with each other, let alone if the production of one company is even trying to sell at that scale

    Now regarding the article: they are not differentiating between enterprise and personal grade products. Of course Intel is non existent in Enterprise GPU sales, because they don't even sell fucking Enterprise GPUs. Same with amd.

    This is like comparing a local steel working company with weckerle machines who mostly makes industry Make-up equipment (out of steel) and saying that Weckerle dominates the Market

    Or like saying „Gamers Beware: Pre-built PCs are dominating the market”, then showing a study about „ Computing devices”, and showing that the 2 main sources are Enterprise buying bulk and NUCs, both of which have nothing to do with what the article is implying in the first place, since, and say this with me

    • Enterprise devices are completely different from consumer devices, both in terms of price and in volume, and if compared directly (in the middle of an economic crisis) of course an Enterprise is going to spend way more money on one category.

  • Is it just me or is everything updating its TOS agreement right now?

  • Yep, had to delete my notes APP too, because it wanted to hold my Notes ransom until I agree to let all of them be processed.

    Good that I already switched to Über notes once this AI became implemented in everything

  • Unfortunately, the ICEBlock app is activism theater

  • Isnt that they same App that got completely obliterated by a single Mastodon post by GrapheneOS?

  • How long do we have before PCs get locked bootloaders and corporations ban installation of "non-approved" software? (for context: Google is restricting sideloading worldwide on Android ETA 2027)

    Jump

  • Google is not restricting Sideloading.

    Its the same way Apple is doing it. You just need to buy a Signaturen from them via ID, and you have to sign every app.

  • /e/ OS does a little trolling and sends all your Text to Voice data to OpenAI for processing and Speech generation.

  • Non profit dosent mean everyone who works there cant earn money.

    It just means, that you as Shareholder cant just sit on your ass and collect the revenue from your company.

    If you own a non profit, and you work as for example a Dev or the head of PR, you can still have a hefty 30$/hour salary.

    And the other way around, having a For profit just tells me that you do so little, that you can't even justify employing yourself at a non profit and giving you an own salary that way, because a non profit has to disclose just how much money you give yourself while underpaying your workers
