Me Zapping on Amethyst without having to work around tyranny. 
Discussion
That's what I'm talking about 😅
I keep getting a "can not resolve" error when I try to zap you
Hmm. I'm using nostr:npub1kmwdmhuxvafg05dyap3qmy42jpwztrv9p0uvey3a8803ahlwtmnsnhxqk9 as my lightning address at the moment to send zaps to a fundraiser.
Yeah, it's definitely not working from my end, using Amethyst
It worked when I zapped you like 10 mins ago.
From mutiny
It just worked for me from Alby. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
This is the alert I'm getting atm
Zapped you no problems
It's mind-boggling for me that most Iphone users doesn't get this 😘
Bro come on; acting like google is a good company and they aren’t harvesting massive amounts of your personal information from your android OS isn’t reflective of the truth.
This shitpost is about openness, not data collection. But if you don't want Google to use your data then I can just run a custom ROM and call it a day. Again, openness.
Yo Derek do you remember AOSP and pie navigation.
It's amazing to see all the features of custom roms from 10+ years ago actually be in newer default versions of android.
For someone starting out would you recommend calyxos or graphene? And place for learning material?
I've mostly used graphene. Haven't used calyos in a while. Lete see if I can dig up some decent resources for you.
Do you have any expessing with Android phones/rooting?
I have never used CalyxOS and it's been a few years since I've used GrapheneOS. Graphene is more granular though. I'd go that route.
Sorry forgot to come back to this.
This just reminded me.
Also acting like I can't run calyox and actually have options with my device is disingenuous.
Android or iOS.
Android everyday. I can consistently gain root access and actually control my device.
With apple youre beholden to their software. They never leave signed order versions around for jail breaking...
I'd love to hear what cellphone you use.
The reality is for most users iOS is superior from a privacy and data collection standpoint. Conflating YOUR ability to gain root access with the business model of the parent company is comical.
I run an iOS device and if I chose to run an android it would need to be stock android as my day job necessitates I be on a standard issue off the shelf device. Stock android is insanely invasive and with googles business model being based on harvesting user data it’s not a company I elect to use.
For the record I was an android user for years and I used to hate iPhones before I started using one and then I realized it’s actually a superior experience most of the time. Tech bro super geeks will be like “but bro i can run custom ROMS” cool bro do it; it’s not like you are auditing the code or really diving deep into who made that ROM, they are just putting their trust in another 3rd party they see as trustworthy. Whether that turns out to be the right decision or not time will tell.
Google is trying to DRM the entire web experience, and they are making moves to neuter the neutrality of AOSP, but please tell me more about how it’s superior. 
It's more secure 🤙🏻
Is that what you want to believe, or verified through some testing methodology?
I’m sure you can find anecdotes supporting either as more secure than the other:
Historically there been the case. I haven't cared about Android vs Apple in a few years, but prior to 2020 iOS always has more CVEs.
No one here thinks Google isn't doing what your saying, but it comes down to the **ability** to opt out of their system and run something else.
A decade of android tinkering has allowed me to gather enough knowledge to know where to place my trust.
I love that you’re there, but as you said you’re working with a decade of experience and most people will never whiff 5% of what you know how to do. I want a graphene or calyx device to tinker with as well because I love the ability to do cool off the wall shit.
For a daily, I likely wouldn’t run graphene or calyx as there are big usability trade offs. I love Linux myself and I run it when I can, but that doesn’t mean it can replace Windows as much as I loathe MS and their insidious telemetry some software just isn’t available for Linux that many need to run their business etc.
One thing we can agree is anything that takes the power away from mega cap tech and puts it in users hands is better; my hope isn’t a pissing match between brands of phone but a design philosophy that empowers all users such as web-apps.
It shouldn’t matter if you are on an android, iOS, Linux or windows desktop, we should all be able to have the same experience and Zap and note to our hearts content without any single company dictating what we can and can’t do. So in my opinion android isn’t the solution, neither is iOS, so dancing on one another isn’t productive hence my initial reply to #[2] post.
Don't jinx it.. lol
Even if Google decided to block all Bitcoin apps from Google Play, we can just sideload APKs from anywhere.
Even if Google blocked sideloading of APKs, we can just download new ROMs, flash them, and do whatever we want.
The Android Open Source Project allows us to do all of these things. We'll be okay.
This is true, but in that case, you would be working around tyranny. #Nostrscript makes this exponentially easier.
Me, checking you out over from Iris and occasionally from Primal...
