And because some random report from a third-party who is just as interested in profit said something that matches the worldview of the general masses is out, you’re going to believe them?
I don’t care what “tech” it is, they are incentivized to lie and you know it. I am still baffled at how absolutely anyone takes the word of corporations to heart
How do you think your friend in the woods got the advertisements?
And yes, I still think you’re too trusting of Big Tech. They are 100 times more vile than you think they are. THEY WILL do everything they can, and this is nothing to them.
The funny part is nobody wants to believe me and instead want to trust for-profit companies for their supposed pinkie-promises. Oh well, they’ll learn in time.
I do not see why everyone wants to deny this and trust big tech. After you lot completely brainwashed?? Assume the worst, that malicious applications are recording both your microphone and your camera, and do the best you can. Anyone even taking Meta’s/Google’s side here is absurd to me.
If only they were supported by Lineage
Which device and Android version? The Samsung and Motorola devices I used to have would never let me do this
You’d have to download the OTA and flash the device yourself
It likely will stop official OTA updates to your device.
I do not recommend anything other than the newer Magisk methods, and if your device kernel is over 5.10, KernelSU.
The idea is simple; you need to patch the userland for Magisk, and the kernel for KernelSU. Device specific instructions are small nuances - did you get your bootloader unlocked?
Yes, it is unfortunate that forward secrecy is missing from all of these. Is there any encryption mechanism for text which maintains PFS? I haven’t tried AGE personally.
Haha takes me back, the bots. IRC was much prevalent back then, I suppose I’m just nostalgic. I won’t argue against Matrix.
Thanks, so we’re on the same page.
Edit: there seems to be some work going into PFS
I admit that is inherently an insecure form of communication. I don’t see a problem if you’re using PGP though. And at least IRC can be self hosted. I suppose one can use a private Matrix instance too.
What problems are you having in signing up for IRC? Just use a client for your OS? I didn’t find it especially hard when I did it, I’m part of a few channels for Linux. Just treat it like you treat any group chat. If there’s bots there will also likely be a page with instructions/wiki
Unless you’re using PGP on Discord and Slack too I don’t understand how you’re not disgusted by them.
eSIM just locks you in even more
Please explain how a properly set up IRC server is awful. If you find the time also contrast it with the more “modern” solutions like Discord and Slack
I might use emoticons sometimes but that’s about it. If there’s a population that absolutely can’t live without Instagram like short-length videos all the time, then there’s an equivalent population who considers it feature bloat.
I see your opinion however you have been exceedingly rude in many comments on this thread, even to good people who answered you in good faith.
Sorry, but the more private messaging apps just aren’t there as commercial data hoggers. If you absolutely need stickers and perfect material you and other features, just use WhatsApp and train your family members to use PGP on Android. Maintain a secondary identity for sensitive stuff with SimpleX/Briar
Wait what?
They’re trying to be Fairphone-lite?
I don’t understand why hackers aren’t hijacking the stocks and capital of these rich people? It’s obviously amazing reward
Exactly. People should read your comment before shouting at me for not providing “proof”. They seem incapable to understand that Big Tech can be smarter and more resourceful than a lot of security engineers
