Hexbear in a nutshell. They externalize their self-hatred onto others because it’s easier than actually fixing themselves

F-droid is good like the other comment suggested. Aurora store is good for anything not available on F-droid.

One thing you can do is track what network connections apps are making with something like https://f-droid.org/packages/com.emanuelef.remote_capture/. It won’t help if the OS really wants to do malicious things, but you can monitor your apps at least

If you’re not using a custom ROM, you’re leaking info like a sieve to OnePlus. I moved to LineageOS because the default OS was sending every app you opened and when to the mothership. Even if they’ve stopped that, they’ve got every incentive to suck you dry, and you’ll spend much more time fighting your OS than if you just switch to a different one.

Looks like it got bought out by someone, so might be enshittified, but it’s worked nicely for me in the past.

Definitely my wife. She likes to remind me though that I shouldn’t just rely on her, and should socialize more. When one’s spouse dies, men tend to die quite quickly after their wife dies, because men aren’t good at making new friends or keeping up with existing ones over time. Women tend to be much better at both of those. Kind of macabre, but she’s not wrong.

I liked the theory that @[email protected] posted when I mentioned horseshoe theory:

Jenkem is a helluva drug

Horseshoe theory strikes again

What a shitheel. They’re trying to justify imperialism with realpolitik, but they’re not even doing a good job of it. The third option is that other countries help out Ukraine against a crazed imperialist. It won’t be easy, but right now, Ukraine retaining its sovereignty looks actually likely.

I think lemmy.world turned off image uploads while they work on mitigating some attacks.

Use Fastmail, and you can have masked email addresses that come in like regular email. You can look at the “To:” line to tell where the email was sent to, but the title remains the same.

What advantages does that have over this?

Never going to happen. Even if something was signed, everyone would just develop the tech secretly. It’s not like nukes where you need large, special equipment like refineries that investigators can track, and special ores. If you’ve got some nerds with nice graphics cards, you’re off to a good start. Getting more advanced is easy if you produce your own chips, and looks the same as regular consumer demand to anyone suspicious.

Thank you 🙇

Sorry for the Reddit link but lemmy.world’s not letting upload images and I’m on mobile so don’t want to transcribe this, but just imagine the person you’re arguing with is like this:

The original, I think. Poor ME. You weren’t a good OS.

Security is a gradient that depends on your threat model, etc, but unless you’re being targeted by a nation-state or something that should be plenty secure

I haven’t read it before, but I’ve been interested. I think I’ll bump it up the queue. I’ve been interested because of this song that quotes from it:

That was actually a thing in castle design. There’d be one step just high enough compared to the others that an assassin chasing the king would hopefully stumble on it, and the king could turn around and stab the assassin.

I unfortunately can’t really offer much advice here. I configured Wireguard on my phone by essentially copy/pasting the configuration from my laptop and changing the values as necessary like the public key and client IP address. Turned it on, it activated VPN mode in Android and everything started working.

I guess make sure you haven’t mixed up your public/private keys, your server knows about the new device (and is restarted), and your phone is using the right IP address as basic troubleshooting steps.
