there's your problem. get off gatekept hardware
Discussion
You say gatekept as if you're actively maintaining the opsec of your phone. I've got better things to do with my time. Searching the web I see Android had two zero day patches two weeks ago. iOS isn't perfect, but at least their zero days tend to make the news
I don't run stock Android
Sure, you can run Graphene, etc. What about the hardware? Baseband? Apple just built their own, which is a huge win for security.
My point is, people who use Android don't "own" their phone either. They just don't know it
I seem to own a lot more of my software options, which is what we're talking about, right?
try running Syncthing, various kinds of nodes, or any custom ROM at all on an Apple device. have you looked at PWA support on iOS (atrocious)? alternative app stores? sideloading?
the list goes on and on. don't be a silly goose
🤷🏻♂️ That's just convenience. Run a server at home and remote into it.
“We put the time in …to know [that network] better than the people who designed it and the people who are securing it,” he said. “You know the technologies you intended to use in that network. We know the technologies that are actually in use in that network. Subtle difference. You’d be surprised about the things that are running on a network vs. the things that you think are supposed to be there.”
you can just use your desktop services at home also. you're describing convenience, too.
Oh, sure. I just don't see why I can attach a self custody wallet to Damus but not Primal
because Primal is guilty of the same things Apple is: weighting more heavily on certain things and sacrificing others.
choose your clients, OSes and hardware wisely (as you point out)
We might be using the term "own" differently. Yes, Android lets you change more things on your phone. It also lets attackers do the same
