Cover the G logo with a pop socket or some shit. No one will give enough of a shit to desire your phone. Buying used always denies OEMs sales so its always good to buy used

Using the internet without an adblocker is genuinely dangerous. Everyone really should be using uBlock Origin. Using a web browser that prevents uBlock Origin puts you in danger
If you use a deterministic password manager, make sure you make your master password strong
In-built password managers for browsers are straightforward to crack. Like… Terrifyingly easy. It’s much better to use something like Bitwarden, Vaultwarden if you don’t trust Bitwarden, 1Password if you really want the reassurance of paying someone for trust, or KeePass if you don’t trust anyone at all (I, personally, fit into this category).
Messengers are not protocols. They use protocols. Most XMPP clients use the same encryption scheme Signal does only without being dependent on a single specific server, allowing users to spread out. I recommend reading about the differences between targeting developing a platform and developing protocols. Once you do, you’ll see XMPP+Encryption in a better light than anything like Signal. The main problem in the current moment with XMPP+Encryption us that it isn’t where the people are. Us tech weirdos can start the push into that space a little bit, but we need “Normies” to adopt to, and for that we need to be clear on what were talking about. Comparing XMPP to signal doesn’t make sense. Comparing Cheogram to Signal does. And in the latter, cheogram frankly blows Signal out of the water for real privacy and security considerations
I immediately had my suspicions this article might contain some bullshit when I saw it was published by the new oil…
Yeah. I didn’t pull down my comments when I left, but the oldest ones from 2010-2012 are real fucking wrong-headed. That’s while I was still in college and hadn’t learned yet that the real messaging about how the world works was
That was the era frat rap was not just allowed to exist, but with some regularity got mainstream popularity. The great irony is two big names from that space, Asher Roth and Mac Miller went on to do some really thoughtful and insightful work, and I think their journey of awakening to the harm their privilege did is what a lot of us went through. Like. I don’t think the majority of us were thinking enough about the importance of countercultural music movements. Now google and reddit get to be the kings of that toxic outdated way of thinking.
The bad news is… That toxic outdated way of thinking benefits them. And now they’ll have a big data model that can post real seeming messages and amplify those shitty takes a lot of us grew out of
Well. I mean. Look who heads Twitter
Certain crowds can’t fathom being any different from how you were raised up because They’re too scared of being their authentic selves
And how you gotta stand up to Him? What the fuck does that even mean? All their songs are about how “hey, you can’t just be telling people how to live like that. People are individuals with thoughts and ideas AND ALSO YES FARTS ARE FUNNY AND I’M TIRED OF PRETENDING LIKE THEY AREN’T”
Hardware specs were too constrained for regular daily use. The software updates are always way behind schedule, and the company is too small to support their warranty (I really do think they’re doing their best to do what’s right, but they’re just super slow on turnaround for support)
If anything they’ve gotten more specific with their language. They’ve made an adjustment in language to reflect there’s rednecks out there who aren’t on board for fascism. They’re speaking about EXACTLY who they mean now
So they changed it from redneck to MAGA, and you felt fucking called out? They wrote a fucking ALBUM about how subsets of america are dooming everyone else during the Bush administration and you didn’t fucking realize Green Day doesn’t like conservativism and you went to their concerts and bought their music? Man WHAT THE FUCK ARE YALL OFFENDED BY!? THIS IS WHO GREEN DAY IS. THIS IS WHO THEY’VE ALWAYS BEEN. THIS IS WHAT they’ve ALWAYS STOOD FOR.
I only know about Fairphone and Teracube. Having owned a Teracube I recommend not getting a Teracube
Then more of us should get ourselves on those lists. We should make the lists useless by way of flooding them
Yeah I’m not enjoying watching the collapse of a lifelong friendship in public view. Like I really feel for Kyle. He made one joke and its collapsing his career all around him. And you can say that that’s a case of play stupid games, win stupid prizes, but losing his friend like this didn’t have to be part of the deal. Even if Jack Black did or didn’t agree with Kyle and this was all about their personal safety, there’s still ways for this to be handled where it’s not Jack Black personally throwing Kyle Gass under the bus. They could even make a deal with the devil and have Ticketmaster be the bad guys (that’s allegedly why they get paid so much)
Especially since when was the last time you got a phone that impressed you? Like phones haven’t been getting better they’ve been getting more gimmicky
Phones don’t use an IBM-PC architecture. You’d need a phone based on an architecture phones aren’t usually based on or You’d need to re-engineer UEFI to work for an architecture it wasn’t designed for
I highly encourage everyone to buy their pixel phones for grapheneos secondhand. there’s enough pixel fanbois out there you should be able to deprive any corporation of the money of your sale by buying a like new condition last generation pixel (Like an 8 now that the 8a and 9 are out)
Sure yeah. I think corpos suck, too. That’s why I don’t prefer 1password. But Firefox puts their passwords into a file, too (two actually). Key3.db and Logins.json, both with known locations, and encrypted using AES-256-GCM which is… Decent but I prefer to go a little more hardened. The thing with keepass is the following:
But I want to make it abundantly clear. @Dyskolos@lemmy.zip has not recommended storing your passwords in a file. They have suggested storing your passwords in a mechanism that can be as secure as your hardware is capable of securing and keeping the location of that up to your own decision making.
But also. Promise me this. If you’re going to keep using Firefox as your password manager:
