Maybe get a #Librem5... Roughly 5 hours of battery life with active use so you have to use it sparingly to last through the day.
Which ones you guys blocked? For me, it seems like it's coming from Primal and nostr.fmt.wiz.biz
Discord is rolling out end-to-end encryption,
Do you trust it?
Before you rush to say no,
It's designed and audited by the same auditors that SimpleX uses (Trail of Bits)
So do you trust Trail of Bits to say SimpleX is secure, but not design Discord's encryption?
You know I actually wrote Trail of Bits to ask on pricing to audit my own app (which isn't a messenger btw). They use Gmail, so I used PGP.
The guy at Trail of Bits apologized that he didn't have his PGP key anymore, since he never gets encrypted emails. Aren't you guys supposed to be receiving code to audit or emergency 0-day flaws? That's going naked over Gmail? So he directed me to a web browser app that had third party Google JavaScript and claimed it was end-to-end encrypted. This might be true, but he has no idea what that JavaScript was doing.
So without even looking at the details of Discord's new thing, I can tell you they don't give a rat's ass about privacy. All this is doing is trying to remove legal liability in a post Telegram-legal world. But we can remove legal liability for them, by not using Discord.

Most apps claiming #e2ee simply miss the point! Best exposé I've heard so far is by the #Jitsi founder:

What you think now?
Best to wait and see what Big Media says, then at least we'll know what to rule out.
The Myth of Airplane Mode
You're being lied to. Airplane mode does NOT hide your location. Google and Apple continue to collect it, by seeing what WiFi endpoints are near you, and then figuring out where you are through a process known as "WiFi Triangulation". [1]
Further, phones have two "brains", and the part that connects to the cell towers does NOT have to obey Airplane mode. This is called the "baseband modem", and airplane mode is an API request from the main motherboard to this modem, ASKING if it would PLEASE consider killing service.
And even worse, the baseband doesn't even need a SIM card. You can call 911 emergency without service, without wifi, just standing outside. Calyx Institute devs LIE about this on Matrix, but dial it and hear your local operator tell you the truth.
In fact, you don't even need to be the government to abuse this. Ralf-Philipp Weinmann of the University of Luxembourg demonstrated with just around $1500 in equipment, ANY RANDOM civilian hacker, who doesn't even work for the telecom, can FAKE being the cellphone tower near you. Source:

This is all why it's so critical to use GrapheneOS which helps against these types of attacks, and to buy your phone anonymously in cryptocurrency, because if you don't, it's essentially like a dog collar. At their will, they can see where you are, who you're standing near (if they have a phone too), and even turn the mics on to record.
My abusive competitors in the degoogled phone industry all charge way above Google's official store, and Google's search gives them traffic to make it harder to switch. For example on the model 8:
AbovePhone.com
Pixel 8: $999
DigitalPrivacy.shop
Pixel 8: $729
Google Official Store
Pixel 8: $599
While as I sell them BELOW the official store:
Simplified Privacy
Pixel 8: $499
PLUS you get a consult on its use, Why? Because I am on a mission. I need to get these phones, and the privacy that goes with it, in the hands of as many people as possible. And if Google search wants to oppress and censor our website, so be it. You and you alone deserve your data:

Phones should come with physical buttons to disconnect, like in old laptops.

Are you saying dialing 911 doesn't work on GrapheneOS either with no SIM card or if airplane mode is on?
Thanks.
Agreed. I appreciate their amazing work but their main dev needs help. I hope the best for him and the project.
Just to be clear, I love and support GrapheneOS and hope their dev receives the help and support he deserves to take care of his mental health.
Just provide them the list of features you need and offer to sponsor their development. Run a crowdfunding if you wish so other people can pitch in with funding.
You can just buy a device with Linux preinstalled. That's how people get Windows and MacOS ;) If new is too expensive, try used devices.
Brands include #Purism, #Librem, #System76, #Tuxedo, #Slimbook, #Starlabs, #LaptopwithLinux, #Think Penguin, #MNTreform and many others.
I thought GrapheneOS has sandboxed Google Play option. Afaik, CalyxOS has microG option with Aurora Store and does not have Google Play services.
Hopefully they decouple it from Stripes and add more payment methods.
From their readme: "YNS is tightly integrated with Stripe, so you need a Stripe account to use Your Next Store."
I guess by "your" next store, they mean #Stripe, not the user!
#ecommerce
Agreed.
Prison can be great for creative thinking with all the regular life distractions removed...
...until the abuse starts.
Hope you all trapped there get out safely before Apple's d!Âą|(âą comes.

I thought it would be public domain by now. Looks like we'll need to wait until 2044. Unless we can find or get a non-US published edition on a site hosted outside the US.
You mean Linux experience on hardware designed specifically for Windows and tested with it?
Of course, not everything will work perfectly.
Get Linux hardware if you can afford to, even if it's used.

Any thoughts on the Google firmware on the tensor chip?
Could it make the OS privacy features irrelevant?
Can't connect to Santa Clara without bypassing Firefox and Chromium TLS warnings.
Both US and Germany were giving me that but US works now.
Meanwhile, India:
upstream connect error or disconnect/reset before headers. retried and the latest reset reason: connection failure, transport failure reason: delayed connect error: 111
