Another alternative is GrapheneOS
The basic application set (Calculator, Camera, Clock, Contacts, Messaging, Phone) get you this functionality.
And you can then augment with additional items as you see fit.
Already read your article (yes, seriously)...and it focuses almost exclusively on national elections, and really doesn't address local elections--
So I'll ask again:
Do you believe that you (as a single individual) can influence and ultimately change the results of a local election?
Hint: saying "I don't have time to respond" is a cop out..if you'd like to have a discussion I'm open to debate. If you're not interested in hearing another opinion, that's fine as well...
Wow - *really* struck a nerve didn't I? 😃
So--the issue at hand is whether you (as a single individual) can influence and ultimately change the results of a LOCAL election.
Serious question...do you believe this is possible?
Ah...the truth strikes a nerve eh?
When someone responds with a personal attack, rather than debating the issue at hand, then you know (and they know) you're right...

Can Social Security work? ABSOLUTELY
Unfortunately what it requires in order to be successful are honest politicians...
It is absolutely a fiscally sound concept--it can indeed fund the retirement of an entire country.
But when politicians have the ability to "re-purpose" the funds, and spend them on other projects (because there is a "surplus") than is when the system breaks down.
Don't blame Social Security - blame the politicians!
When someone says "I don't vote" then the remainder of their complaint is without merit.
You may not feel your vote matters - but it does - on a local level. And so does your ability to influence others to vote. You CAN change the results of a local election, and local results can change regional results. And regional results can change national results.
But if your cynicism results in apathy, then we all lose...
Sad really, to see how quickly society can break down...and we think we're so enlightened, and so compassionate, and so caring...
The mirror's reflection often shows what you least want to see...

Happy Sunday, Happy Coffee!
Still a bit unseasonably cold, but if a few weeks I'll probably be wishing we had one of these cooler days, so may as well enjoy it! 😃

Just like Bitcoin Pizza day (when Laszlo Hanyecz paid 10,000 bitcoin for 2 pizzas and we now can't even imagine doing such a thing), I believe there will come a day when people will say "Can you imagine back in 2024 people used to zap someone else 20 satoshis on Nostr just because they liked a post?"

Couldn't agree more--
I understand the appeal of TikTok, and I also understand that no one should be on it...
It's truly a psychological application, and it's not something that is healthy for people (neither creators nor viewers).
Seriously - need to get off TikTok and delete the app (and if you can't you're literally addicted...just like any other drug).
GM Nostr!
Glad it's the weekend!

Anyone else having trouble adding a new home feed in Primal desktop? This used to work for me, but no longer. It says that the feed is added, it shows up, but when selecting the dropdown nothing happens...

Agree...yet Strike is KYC...
This episode (crashed hard drive) had made me realize we're still a long way from being "easy"...thinking of my non-tech friends and how frustrated they'd be trying to recover everything (and re-establish connectivity with thins like Nosr and wallets)
In the US, so WoS I think is out as an option...
So back to using my nsec to log into Primal. Going to have to set up a new wallet for zaps and need suggestions...what's the easiest way currently to set up a wallet?
