So you don’t see the difference. Cool.

Spending a million dollars is not an activity surrounded by conspiracy theories.

Covid-19 very much is surrounded by conspiracy theories.

See the difference?

There is no pre-installed g crap on GrapheneOS. The user has the option of turning it on if they want to.

Massive fail. I don’t feel triggered at all.

Everyone has different needs. For example, my father got tired of Google pestering him to activate the AI on his Pixel. So he got me to install GrapheneOS. He gets the convenience of Google services without putting up with the AI garbage.

I couldn’t make accounts on Bluesky and Github with SimpleLogin. Ended up using my Tuta address for bsky. Didn’t try another option for Github.

I pirated a movie because I didn’t want to plug in my external hard drive.

I know not a single person who hates Wikipedia.

You wanna hear ironic? My dad got me to install GrapheneOS on his Pixel because google was trying to get him to activate the AI. Now dad is using the google search. I explained its all AI junk “but its easy” is his reply.

Its the lowest cost way to have a phone number in my country. Isn’t a phone number necessary for Signal?

The only time I heard of this working is back in WW2 with the Navajo Code Talkers. The Germans couldn’t (or had a very hard time) translate the conversations at all. Not a history buff so I could be wrong on the details.

Best to use an E2EE messenger.

Having thought about how I use my phone: pics, music, shopping list.

Replace the phone with a very thin pocket camera, a mp3 player, and a paper notebook.

Now if I can continues using my current GOS enabled Pixel. Remove my eSim and use public WiFi and/or SilentLink with SimpleX. Its been weeks since I made a phone call and I mostly keep VoIP active for Signal and medical appointments. I can use the landline for the medical stuff.

Try it and report back.

Contacts > the stock apps on GOS without network access.

Keep > Notesnook.

I use KeepassXC and it’s database syncs great with Syncthing.

What I don’t like about KP is it’s ui. Too many pages. Everything should be one one page like KeepassDX. I wouldn’t recommend for noobs.

LMAO. Seriously, thanks. That is comedy gold.

I heard pretty much the same thing.

I use Syncthing on my Linux and Android. Once set up, it just works without me getting involved.

His plan was worse than I thought.

Yes. But he did screw up by not getting to his final destination before meeting with the reporters.

Anything anime. Lots love it, I hate it.
