Yaaay! Interwebs!

[Andreas Hartmann @andreas_ohok]

@GrapheneOS is currently the one glimmer of hope for reasonably secure, private and usable handheld computing. Support them if you can. Everyone is out to get your data and that is dangerous on too many levels. Don't make it easy for them.

[Andreas Hartmann @andreas_ohok]

@thefuzzstone @GrapheneOS But if they skimp and it becomes affordable unlike many phones with those features today, that has its merits. Security and privacy should not be paywalled, and even low end cameras are really good. Plastics are lighter and way cheaper and often more repairable.

[Andreas Hartmann @andreas_ohok]

@ssamat You are limiting choice and freedom, don't pretend you aren't. Own up to it and communicate it as it is.

[Andreas Hartmann @andreas_ohok]

@ssamat 2 Problems:
1st: There's no opt out. Hide it behind a scary warning in the developer settings or fastboot, but make it available.

[Andreas Hartmann @andreas_ohok]

@ssamat Just like I can create my own secure boot keys and remove Microsoft keys if I so desire. Why is Google supposed to be more trusted than myself? What if I write an App for myself or my friends or my small business? What's the point of Identifying myself to Google?

[Andreas Hartmann @andreas_ohok]

@ssamat 2nd: I should not have to give Google my ID to install software on my device. I should be able to add a trusted 3rd party anyone can create including myself that can also sign and verify IDs (or not).

[Andreas Hartmann @andreas_ohok]

@ChrisMartzWX @elonmusk Except solar is way cheaper per kWh nowadays and doesn't produce nuclear waste.

[Andreas Hartmann @andreas_ohok]

@adalluch What would be the disadvantage of some women having fewer children than others?

[Andreas Hartmann @andreas_ohok]

@techhalla Looks like shit and it's not pixel art.

[Andreas Hartmann @andreas_ohok]

@GrapheneOS @Manasongg I hope future Fairphones fulfill the necessary requirements. Would be a match made in heaven.

[Andreas Hartmann @andreas_ohok]

@M_Solidus Or airgap them. Not sure how a projector is better to a TV in terms of privacy. Both can and do contain proprietary software, only airgapping can help regardless of whether it's a TV or projector.

[Andreas Hartmann @andreas_ohok]

@M_Solidus Source?

[Andreas Hartmann @andreas_ohok]

@GrapheneOS Use Signal or go fully decentralized with Matrix. Telegram is actively harmful by giving normies a false sense of security.

[GrapheneOS @GrapheneOS]

Telegram has full access to all of the content of group chats and regular one-to-one chats due to lack of end-to-end encryption. Their opt-in secret chats use homegrown end-to-end encryption with weaknesses. Deleting the content from the app likely won't remove all copies of it.

[Andreas Hartmann @andreas_ohok]

@elonmusk "the left" who's that?

[Andreas Hartmann @andreas_ohok]

@GrapheneOS Would be the only phone I would be willing to pay a 4-digit sum on. I hope Fairphone will introduce a device with such a hypothetical future Qualcomm chip.

[Andreas Hartmann @andreas_ohok]

@seangchau Boo! There is no reason to not also release the Pixel device trees and drivers in addition to Cuttlefish. At least admit that this is being done as some form of hostility to custom ROMs. You must have been aware that they were also used by various innovative community projects.

[Andreas Hartmann @andreas_ohok]

@paulg @DartsJey So what does it mean?
woke: aware of and actively attentive to important societal facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice)
What part of that is negative?

[Andreas Hartmann @andreas_ohok]

@elonmusk Sounds like you're a bit a late. Didn't you claim to 1 million robotaxis on the road by mid-2020?

[Andreas Hartmann @andreas_ohok]

Trying to map the world of conspiracy theories and how they relate to each other. Have yet to find a way to visualize such a ridiculous number of datapoints.
