I don’t need to see the source to know you don’t have a chance in hell of accessing anything on my device without my biometrics, Lock Screen or not, or is that not considered privacy to you? 🤦🏻‍♂️

You did, actually. 🤣

It’s cool, you do you, I’m not trying to convince anyone. I’ve been down that road and am perfectly happy with the compromises I had to make to actually have a proper device out of the box.

And yes, they do value profit, imagine that…

I’m not addressing the UK/EU nonsense as that was done against Apple’s wishes and it’s only over there. Europe wants to play fast and loose, let them.

All you have to do is use an iPhone to know. It’s hard to explain every feature that is seemingly better developed on iOS than android without writing a novel.

But let me just say this, I could leave my iPhone unlocked and there is nothing of consequence that you could access without my biometrics. You can’t even download an app from the store without my biometrics. Android, for some reason thinks once the device is unlocked, the threat is gone. I can look at passwords, credit card information, anything that should stay private is now wide open.

I got about 20 more examples like that one.

Privacy shouldn’t stop once your device is unlocked.

It’s the operating system that doesn’t require a whole team of developers to fix, so I have no clue where you think you’re going with that.

Also, it’s only the “walled garden” if you’re on the outside looking in. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Yeah, it’s a little screwy, but what is isn’t? It cracks me up when people talk privacy in the same sentence that they mention they are using an android device. You can’t help but do a double take, but it is what it is.

When someone asks me what is to choose, I have one question. What is more important to you, freedom and customization (Android) or privacy and optimization (iOS)?

Since they don’t seem to have a problem using browsers, couldn’t you slip one in there? Instead of using an app, access the website directly.

In either case, I thank you for your response. Have a great day. ✌🏻

Why does everyone think because I can’t stand our elected felon, that I must somehow think Biden was better? I’m sorry but I am not that simple minded or dumb enough to box myself in with party affiliations.

Both parties are broken but while the tangerine turd keeps feeding his MAGAts his nonsense, they will continue to think they are better for the country.

Jesus fucking Christ, you people are dumb as fuck if you actually believe one word that comes out of his mouth.

Still waiting for proof that the 2020 election was rigged, but who needs proof when you’re a lemming, following a convicted felon, fraudster and insurrectionist?

And yes, I figured it was just me, it was rhetorical. I am quite aware of how fucking stupid our citizens are for thinking this fucking shmuck and his hand puppet, would make America great again. This equates to me, shitting on your floor and then expecting a pat on the back for cleaning it up.

These asshats are throwing up Nazi salutes and siding with war criminals, but hey, you keep thinking I’m on the wrong side of history. 🤦🏻‍♂️

If you mute them it will stop. It doesn’t fix the problem, obviously, but at least it won’t bother you any more until it’s fixed properly.

The same thing happens to me just using primal, for what it’s worth, it’s the most complete client IMHO.

They use roughly the same amount of watts as well so it’s not like you would be using more energy to mine rather than running a simple heater.

And yet plenty of countries get on just fine without arming their citizens…

I personally have nothing against firearms, the problem is, when rules or protocols are mentioned, whose sole purpose is to keep everyone safe, they start crying about their right being infringed on.

Well, if they were actually paying attention they would realize that it is already infringed on. You have to be a certain age to own one and you can’t have a felony on your record, neither of those are part of the original amendment.

So, what they are really saying is, IDGAF about you or your rules, I’m going to do what I want because that’s my right. So, if you can’t get on board with making owning a firearm safer for everyone, then you don’t deserve the right to own one at all.

That’s crazy. I pay $17 for a basic cut, which is bonkers, but I also understand that costs go up for everyone and he is only doing it so he is doesn’t lose money.

He does a really good job and even goes the extra mile to trim my nose hairs as well as eyebrows. It’s not much, but that little extra makes paying that much, that much more worthwhile and easier to digest.

Have you thought of trying some sort of giveaway or frequent customer cards? My thinking is, you can probably get away without having to claim anything on a specific customer if said customer hasn’t actually paid anything. Now, they would be expected to leave a tip, but it could be any amount they want. That would cut the government out of that transaction if they don’t know there was one.

Yeah, it’s shady, but so is the government.😁

I can’t watch that stuff, two Neanderthals beating the shit out of each other.

We need a centralized location that houses any and all information on Nostr.

A cheat sheet with the most commonly used terms and their definitions along with a substantial FAQ section to answer any and all other questions pertaining to this protocol.

Leaving the onboarding up to the clients isn’t the way to go, especially since they all have different ways to onboard you. What they think you need to know versus what you want to know.

Oooor, we shit can DGE and the trust fund baby that’s running it and repeal the 2nd…

Judging by the half baked nature of Nostr, I would say most of it, lol.

TestFlight?

A little git knowledge is all you need to create your own rom let alone get into one. XDA is nothing but copy/paste and change the header. All the real developers left years ago.

As much as I hate Alex, I have to give to him and his team at DU, they basically kept the custom rom scene going for years while everyone else piggybacked off of their success. Randall was an ass but he could code like a moto, so we let it slide. 😝

There were a few others that went their own way, Broken being one of them, but most relied on DU to merge the hard stuff and solve any commit conflicts.

This is actually where GZOSP could come back into play since it was also a base for many ROM’s, but the person responsible for making GZR what it was, passed away a few years ago from cancer.

I’m just trying to save you the trouble of loading an OS that is actually less secure than iOS, simply because it’s a knee jerk reaction to what the UK is doing.

To reiterate, because you seem to be confused. The UK is forcing Apple to add a backdoor door and not allow their users to encrypt their data because Apple is closed source.

Android is wide open (it’s literally in the name AOSP) so the UK doesn’t need a back door, just someone who understands git.

So you’re saying I should just mute you now? Challenge accepted…

Even though I no longer respect will smith, I would have to go with Hancock. He’s like homelander, just not as psychotic.🤪

Also, ninjas usually keep the scabbard on their back, not by their hips.
