  • The GrapheneOS developers are giving me concerns about the future of GrapheneOS

    Jump

  • Not as bad a taste as the French government is giving me.

    If its do I trust GOS or a confirmed pro chat control governments side of the story, its an easy choice.

  • Advice, myths, and reality regarding privacy when travelling to China?

    Jump

  • Don't bring data you are not ok with a foreign government forcing you to handover. That's the simplest solution.

    Back all your important data up, then wipe your phone before you go. Same with the laptop. You can't be coerced into giving something you don't have.

    Threat modeling is important. If your just an average Joe being a tourist it is highly unlikely the Chinese government is going to take your devices to search.

    Source: travelled to China for an extended period of time.

  • What's more dangerous nowadays: To not update Win11, or to update it?

    Jump

  • Based on basic security principles. There is not a real security expert out there that would ever tell you to not update. Leaving a backdoor in your network as a "honeypot" is an absolutely awful idea.

    You are also conflating security updates with feature updates. Please take a look at the different terminology.

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-client/installing-updates-features-roles/standard-terminology-software-updates

    Anyway if you really hate all the bloat of Windows there is a wide variety of other operating systems to choose from that also offer security updates.

  • What's more dangerous nowadays: To not update Win11, or to update it?

    Jump

  • It is pretty much always more dangerous to not update. The internet is an extremely hostile environment (from a security perspective). You really should avoid having devices that are not updated or EOL connected to it.

  • For GrapheneOS users, what is your profile setup like?

    Jump

  • I do

    Owner - these are the apps I daily drive Work - all work stuff lives here Google - apps that require the playstore.

    I thought about using my owner profile as a hub for app stores and then a 2nd profile as my main profile but I found the 2nd profiles a bit unreliable in terms of receiving calls and texts.

  • I Tried the "Criminal's" Phone of Choice for a Month

    Jump

  • I think if people look past the clickbait title and thumbnail the video is actually a positive for GOS

  • Deleted

    got a pixel with graphene os and a mint mobile esim. anyone have experience with mint?

    Jump

  • I can't imagine Google is losing sleep over this being an issue for GOS users. If anything I'd assume anything that could get people to switch back to stock is what they want.

    Jump

  • One downside for Mint is RCS doesn't work properly with T-Mobile carriers as they require more privileged access. GOS has talked about maybe providing a toggle to allow this like they do with Android Auto.

  • VPN Comparison 2.0

  • VPN Comparison

  • Nice little collection of privacy tools

    Jump

  • There is a wide variety of quality with these recommendations / suggestions.

    For example its still lists calyxos which at the moment is dead and a site like privacytools which is basically an SEO farm.

    Generally people should avoid lists that do not provide any sort of criteria / transparency for whats on the list, regardless of the intention.

  • Career and privacy

    Jump

  • I have the rare ability to not attach my career to my self worth. This makes it much easier for me to be happy regardless of what I do to get paid.

    Honestly it sounds like you might be making things more difficult then they need to be. Does your threat model actually require you to take the actions you are taking?

  • The Pager

    Jump

  • That doesn't sound better then the plans in the US. I currently get unlimited data for $15/month.

  • Brain implants that read minds: a medical miracle raises new ethical questions

    Jump

  • You can be concerned about a possible future issue and a current issue at the same time. To dismiss a possible issue because you are already concerned with something else seems silly. Maybe I'm misunderstanding what your getting at.

  • Brain implants that read minds: a medical miracle raises new ethical questions

    Jump

  • Not sure how you can believe on one hand that there isn't potential for "thoughtcrime" but also recognize that the technology has a hard time differentiating between internal monologues and thoughts directed for others.

    At best it just can't recognize consent but at worst there will be a point where people can filter for internal thoughts. The more fine tuned this gets the easier it will become to abuse.

    Granted I agree with you that the prospect of this being a nefarious technology doesn't seem imminent and could also have huge upsides if used in good faith.

  • Let's be honest.... GrapheneOS sucks the big one

    Jump

  • Lol look at this wankers post history

  • Let's be honest, if Microsoft failed Linux Phones will fail

    Jump

  • GOS is already working with an OEM to produce their own phone. I think they said they are around a year away.

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

    Jump

  • Every year people have to re-find out /e/ calyx and lineage were never focused on privacy and or security.

  • I give up 🏳️

    Jump

  • Why even post this? do you really need outside validation every time you decide to give up?
