I use brave which is chromium. Uses a lot of ram, but my PC can handle it. I find it runs faster. And doesn't load or allow malicious back ground scripts. Always open to hear about other browsers though.

my prediction is coming true: cash is coming out of fractional reserve banks and going into money market funds, which is to say there is a spontaneous maturity *rematching* occurring as people start to seriously wonder what their money even is.

there is no good answer, but the least bad answers involve rolling short-term credit such that if you *have to* hold an unsecured liability, it may as well be liquid and it may as well be “backed” by a solvent entperise, if not the literal money printer.

(all of which is totally fine for pricing long term capital allocation, btw, TOTALLY FINE)

Why hold money with the bank and have counterpart risk? Not saying I agree. But if you can hold it in Treasuries with the implicit guarantee that the US Government will never default that seems a safer option 🤷‍♂️

your feed is whatever was posted mostly recently by people you follow and the public feed shows whatever was posted most recently to the relays you're on.

hope that helps and welcome to nostr! 💜

If you look closely you can see the current inflation.

I wonder what happened in 1971 🧐 FDR definitely didn’t ban citizens from holding gold in the ‘30’s 😅

WE ARE THE ALGORITHM

If a post made you laugh, learn something or otherwise brought value to your life, the best thing you can do for it is to REPOST.

Reposting is so important is a non-algorithm social network like nostr.

Will do! Didn’t know it there wasn’t an algo driving my feed

The minimum support period is outlined here:

However beyond that it will receive complete support for as long as official firmware/driver updates remain available. If official vendor support for those are dropped GrapheneOS aims to provide Extended Support releases for as long as possible as a harm reduction exercise to help people transition to a supported device. Understand that ESR are not the complete and secure OS.

Thanks again ☺️☺️ Good community to be a part of

Buy a 6th or 7th Gen (or latest on release) Google Pixel for the longevity of the support window.

Go to grapheneos.org and use the web installer at graoheneos.org/install/web to install GrapheneOS.

Profit 🔒📲🚀

How long could we expect a 6th Gen Pixel to receive support

UX is better 😉

Just be aware GrapheneOS and CalyxOS are much different. GrapheneOS is a hardened OS with substantial privacy and security improvements:

CalyxOS is not a hardened OS. It substantially reduces security. It recently went 2 months not shipping standard security patches.

Compatibility with Android apps on GrapheneOS is also much different. GrapheneOS provides our sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer:

https://grapheneos.org/usage#sandboxed-google-play

Can run the vast majority of Play Store apps on GrapheneOS, but not CalyxOS with the problematic microG approach.

CalyxOS uses Google services by default and give them privileged access, even if you don't use microG on CalyxOS.

grapheneos.org/faq#default-c…

Purpose of GrapheneOS is not specifically avoiding Google services but we do avoid using them as the default services.

To clarify, they always use Google services even without microG. They use Google for connectivity checks, network time, attestation key provisioning, SUPL, PSDS (Pixel 6 and 7), eSIM activation and more enabled by default.

Some of these involve sending data and could be considered privacy invasive. GrapheneOS has worked hard to avoid using Google services by default.

https://blog.privacyguides.org/2022/04/21/grapheneos-or-calyxos/ is a 3rd party article explaining some of the substantial differences between GrapheneOS and CalyxOS. It's a common misconception that they're similar. CalyxOS is far more similar to LineageOS than GrapheneOS. There are many other alternate OSes available

privsec.dev/posts/android/choosing-your-android-based-operating-system/ is another article about privacy and security differences between alternative Android-based operating systems. Talks about other alternate operating systems including DivestOS. Unlike most content, these are based on real experience and technical details.

Very helpful and informative!

Not a bad idea. If you dont like it you can sell it on nostr marketplace when it arrives. But the thing is, you will most likely like it cuz it smells like freedom
