Graphene recommending this at all is extremely sus. My objective of using your operating system is to avoid giving Google any information I possibly can. Don’t know why they always recommend using Google shit in a sandbox like those packets aren’t still coming from my IP.

This is why threat modeling is important.

but what if I get arrested on some false pretenses and they use cellebrite to gain access?

Chances are they can clone the eMMC and wait for a CVE. Or threaten or hold you until you cave. If a lawsuit is your only recourse, I would expect any constitutional barriers to be ignored in practice. Your best bet is to never end up being an explicit target, which may be more difficult for certain individuals.

My threat model considers dragnet surveillance as the primary threat, so I’d compromise on surviving dirty maid type attacks in favor of reducing the information my device gives out.

Obviously if your device is being actively exploited, you cannot be private. But your security requirements increase greatly if your data footprint indicates to them that you warrant targeted scrutiny.

GrapheneOS is also open source. Fairphone could realistically fork the project without meeting the requirements deemed necessary for the maintenance effort by upstream.

Ignoring all your weird patronization of the global south…

If you don’t like America, then get off Lemmy. Because guess what? Lemmy was largely developed by an American. Yes, I know it involved collaboration with developers from other countries, but the primary origin is still American.

No idea if the main developer, comrade dessalines, is American, but they have a Che Guevara profile pic.

Here’s a snippet from the US atrocities section of their essays repo:

“If there is a country that has committed unspeakable atrocities in the world, it is the United States of America. They don’t care for human beings.” - Nelson Mandela

Two of the other original devs are Nutomic and SleeplessOne1917. Nutomic has a Fidel Castro pfp, and SleeplessOne1917 uses the year of the October revolution in their username. Safe to say the devs of Lemmy do not like America. They also admin lemmygrad.ml

Might want to check your assumptions (and western chauvinism)

If you don’t like America, then get off Lemmy. Because guess what? Lemmy was largely developed by an American based communist revolutionaries. Yes, I know it involved collaboration with developers from other countries the great satan, but the primary origin is still American Marxist-Leninist.

FTFY!

*letting a corporation decide how you’re gonna use your computer

Notice these same people don’t come out of the woodwork upon the mere utterance of “El Salvador” or “Bukele” like they do with “Venezuela” and “Maduro” even as Trump is deporting legal citizens to CECOT.

The words “dictatorship” and “authoritarianism” are clue words for followers of western publications to turn off their brains. They want to sort countries, parties, and leaders into neat little “good guys” and “bad guys” bins. These words allow them to do that with minimal effort, circumventing the need to understand the societies involved. Questioning that framing takes research effort and “sympathizing with authoritarians” so they never do it.

Under feudalism: Left is about abolishing feudalism and the monarchy. Right is about preserving them.

Under capitalism: Left is about abolishing capitalism and the bourgeoisie. Right is about preserving them.

The state is the mechanism through which one class exerts its dominance over the others.

Bourgeois states are the enforcement arm of capital. When it offers improved conditions, it is merely a carrot to prevent you from taking actions that may jeopardize its power.

In a similar vein, proletarian controlled states can do the same, but the concessions go towards capital and the day-to-day ruling is on behalf of the workers.

If we want concessions that cannot be revoked, we must overthrow the bourgeois state and replace with a workers state. We cannot reform our way into a society where capital does not have near complete power.

Get deleted in a concentration camp for me.

Average “anti-authoritarian” when presented with actual left wing views.

yet you never seem to condemn the USA for it. Should be easy for you. Maybe next time you read an article about the USA you’ll bring it up?

No need to apologize. I can differentiate disagreement from attack.

However, consider that this action raises the bar to run FOSS apps from:

1. Disable the toggle.
2. Install the app.

To:

1. Purchase a phone that can run an OS that allows you to do the above.
2. Disable bootloader unlock.
3. Connect your phone over USB.
4. Flash the OS.
5. Do the above.

OR:

1. Do the above.
2. Connect your phone to USB or enable wireless ADB.
3. Run a command to install the app (repeat for every app install)

The new barrier to entry is going to inevitably catch a whole lot of people who would otherwise be willing to go out of their way to install FOSS apps. Development will also suffer as a downstream consequence of this.

I use postmarketOS too, and it is a much more pleasant experience to use than having to break out a second device to update or install software. It has a large number of issues, but it’s more comfortable to use than your comment implies.

This will kill the FOSS app ecosystem regardless. Android forks of any form should be abandoned. GrapheneOS can be a decent stopgap though.

Russia, or China

These are the only countries you can trust to not extradite you to the US you fucking baffoon.

Linux. The mobile ecosystem will have to mature fast though.

There dies the last remaining reason to use Android.

if you’ve ever sent a nude, they probably can.

Pacman has the worst CLI flags I’ve ever seen.

Lots of useful stuff here. Taking all of it.

Does nh use fast-nix-build (or whatever the fancy nix builder CLI is called) to build your system?

but the plane did hit their church
