USA is being horrible at the moment, but China has a LOT of convincing to do before I’ll let them deliberately have my data.
Best way remains to raise as high a digital moat against everyone. If you need a smartphone, get a Pixel, install Graphene on it and as few apps as possible.
How about neither?
What’s Plex’s use case? Why not just mpv locally?
This turns everyone else on, though.
Fedora has always used their own. Dpkg was released in 1994, RPM in 1997.
My comment was about Windows and MacOS kinda catching up in 2020s.
I’ve been using Linux (also Arch, several years, happily!) since 1996 and for a long time I’ve wondered why every software I run gets access to every file I have.
Flatpak is one way to fix that.
is available as a package or in the AUR
Oh okay, I see. You don’t perhaps care about programs reading the files of other programs. Well, that’s fine, everybody has their own threat models.
Perhaps the message is changing now, after they have kind of caught up finally. How long did it take, 20 years?
e-OS is said to have the worst security of pretty much all Android distributions. Dunno if this is a fact, but apparently the upgrade schedules are not great.
No, it’s the other way around. Fairphone needs to implement the things Graphene requires.
I used a Jolla when it was new. It was pretty decent, and in fact had many innovations. Apple brought gestures to their OS several years after. It was one of the first implementations of a phone UI implement on Wayland, and one of the first serious Linux non-Android phones. Might still be.
Unfortunately, being a pioneer does not always help. Application developers didn’t get interested in it enough so it never really got any apps.
I wish they could implement the parts of the Pixel phones that allow GrapheneOS to be used.
I posted an amused and positive comment on the orange site about this and in 2 minutes got a threat about me getting hanged in the near future. Tech bros be panicing.
Oh fuck off. The greatest opportunity to shine some light on the darkest sewer of humanity and this is the bullshit we get?
I hope it gets way better.
Can somebody explain to me a thing about anti-feminism: as a 99.5% cishet standard regular manly man man, even from an extremely cold, selfish, objective, all-for-me approach I cannot understand what I stand to gain by this. What’s the point?
There’s some justification for this idea since the people who buy the products advertised by ads are the source of the money that goes to the producers of the videos.
I wonder if Tim Cook is there too. It would make sense for him and Apple to resist this at least somehow but…
A bitch to remember compared to the bypassnro though.
Well, who cares. I’m never installing Windows again anyway.
I don’t know to what extent they smuggle data out of the devices, but afaik a de-googlified phone such as Pixel + GrapheneOS gets you close.
