7 Things You Should Know Before Switching to GrapheneOS
  • Unfortunately, Tinder doesn't work and that is helpful to get in touch with the ladies. That app is too hell bent on location data which GOS handles more privately.

    NFC should work, it is just scheduled to be deactivated after 3 months if not used for security reasons.

    I think GOS is very user friendly and has many positive privacy and security enhancements. I would like to see if they can surpass sandboxed Google Play and officially support other repositories and updaters like Accrescent. Also, a standard way of securing traffic beyond encrypted DNS would be good such as a tor client like Orbot.

    Looking into the Veilid ecosystem might also be a source for further development ideas.

    Spend Tor Browser to as many people as possible instead of work until everyone uses it and gchq/nsa cant monitor anything. Recommend on linux. In China tor blocked google "tor circumvention"
  • tor (TBB) doesn't work for everything and most people want something fast and convinient that only takes clicking a few buttons to get working. They will think it is too much work.

    I recommend Brave browser which can use tor in private browsing mode but also has a regular browser with encrypted DNS (cloudflare, https strict, and shields) for things like banking, shopping, and online accounts (that might help to have a password manager for).

    Also, Tor browser does not have any passthrough for security keys but Brave based on chromium does. Tor browser does not have a password manager.

    Firejail should work on a profile for Brave as sandboxing is always helpful. TBB can be sandboxed easily, however.

    This "multi-tiered" approach would be better for most people who aren't just accessing a handful of onionsites that replace or are in opposition to an entirely different set of services than those usually accessed on the conventional internet (online banking, social media, a few publication sites, and a search engine).

    IBM CEO: We Listen to What Israel and Saudi Arabia Consider “Correct Behavior”
  • They made a mistake. As history proves, a big one. But any technical company could. So did the makers of cyclon. Apple or Windows could. The AI could exterminate us all as useless humans with low worth. The values of the current CEO should matter if they translate into real world policies, such as, defending human rights.

    Objects that feel special to us, personified. Perhaps obvious in Japan but it is a fresh idea at least to me in the West. Love it! SR-71 personified? So cooool!

    This is exactly like Gentoo! A guide book with all the manpages at her waist and a tight core, absolutely no bloat. Nice!

    I just started caring about my own privacy. What apps should i get rid of, why and what can i replace it with?
  • Don't use Discord. That is a major vector for attack. Seen it happen myself.

    Even Sandboxed Google Play has problems.

    I don't think there is any equivalent of Graphene for Mac hardware. With Pegasus and Predator software around, phones are very hard to secure.

    Rely on tor browser and torrifying where you can with Orbot (Guardian Project).

    Instead of Telegram, how about Signal and Briar? We just heard about how Telegram's executive got hit and may now have to bow to pressure. Signal has kept its design integrity as far as we know.

    Minimal apps are better than many to reduce attack surface. Maybe try accessing some of those services on other devices instead of on your personal tracking device.

    Labor Day reminder: Cops aren't workers. Police associations aren't unions.
  • Are you saying it can't be proven so it doesn't exist.

    That is the same as saying there were no cross-burnings and lynchings because the KKK were ghosts and ghosts don't exist.

    Clandestinity, subterfuge, and passive aggression still exist even if the perpetrators don't write a signed confession with multiple forms of ID and send it to a judge. How did the mafia ever get prosecuted or phantom unattributable cyber criminals?

  • In a capitalist pseudo-democracy where corporations are people with unlimited free speech and the richer candidates win the election 95% of the time, yes. https://capitolhillcitizen.com

    If we had a true democracy of worker cooperatives, the workers would be the bosses and wealth would be distributed more equally. https://www.democracyatwork.info/

    Teachers unions, logistics unions, the trades, librarians, nurses, the service industry--these are true unions that serve the community and contribute constructive benefits that improve the lives of many. The military, FD, PD, and carceral organizations put people down and surveil and jail them. It is not right to collectivize what harms the community. They don't need the help anyway. They have the biggest budgets, intergovernmental reinforcements, and all the weapons and walls on their side.

  • It's true. I don't know why it is a surprise to people that the FD and PD are assholes from the military, but it is true. No disinfo. Maybe you should sign up and find out for yourself. But wait! Another surprise! They might torture you and you may die if you do. Don't say someone didn't warn you who knew better!

  • Is the Crown a worker too? The reason Responders and military are not workers is because they serve the rich. They are not the proles, they are on the other side of class.

    I bet King George didn't stop "working."

    You think there is a "benign" "small" "local" government as opposed to a big bad one? Have you ever heard of Fusion Centers? Do you know the IDF military trains US cops often? Do you know big parts of local government were in the military before they became a department? You don't just stop being a former Pentagon collateral murderer.

  • Are you a fireman? It's just like a fireman to say that people are being stupid repeatedly if the FD has to get off their lazy butts and actually work.

    As far as "the big state" goes, they are a fully integrated system of oppression. Many in local government are vets right out of the military or currently in reserves who view civilians as insurgents. I don't know how the Right got this "local" government distinction popular because it is nothing like reality. DHS constantly suckles the FD and PD like they are little babies.

    They are all in on it; there is no "little" government.

  • The FD constantly harasses me nationally and won't let me reproduce, slandering me to every community with their lies.

    Wouldn't think that myself if I didn't know from direct experience.

    i cant be the only one they did this to. The propaganda that they are heroes (like copaganda) is completely false.

    They don't seem to work hard. They just sit in their firehouse and make noise with sirens. I rarely see fire or that they are actually doing something. That boredom is probably what turns them into such bullies. Nothing to do but gossip and dictate who can have sex with whom in town and what mean names to call townsfolk including making fun of kids.

  • I really don't see why people think the FD are that different. Same kind of people from the military who think they are here to subjugate civilians with the lodge. Responders should not have unions. Communities should provide for their own systems of care that are not turned against them through "professionalization" (i.e. sitting and driving around surveiling and harming people).

  • Yep. They all pretty much just jack with the flag.

    Especially if it is at someone else's expense so they can get a rush off of subjugating defenseless civilians and leading off sadistically with the enslaved, risking nothing in their hidden-bunker cowardice.

  • Yep. But as a student of history around the world, it certainly used to be possible to travel to a new place. Imagine Persia for the Greeks or China for Marco Polo. The journey wasn't impossible and the destination was completely different. That was true to some extent even in the US. The homogeneity of today is just staggering. Same bullshit everywhere and no variations really on the overplayed theme.

  • Never been to Alaska. Since you are Canadian, I wager, you might know more about Alaska. But I suspect the entire North American continent is fundamentally interchangeable and I have been pretty much every state. Same power structure. Same labeling system. The subconscious "flags" will start going off. Probably the same in Europe or anywhere in the world these days unless you are someplace like Papua New Guinea. The NWO is no lie.

    The American South is unpleasant in many ways. But anywhere might be nice if you are showering everyone in your extravagant displays of opulence for limitless durations.

    The redder states aren't going to be much better than the blue, but all people anywhere care about is money, which makes matters difficult when looking for a heart of gold. (I always say me and mine will pick out the color of our leer jet and which private island after I know she loves me for who I am as a person and not as an objectified, prodigious bank account. The gold digging. Know what I mean?)

    New Orleans looks nice, but nowhere is good unless you are rich.

    Does anyone know what the technical design model of this project might entail? Its last iteration was a tor exit node, which is straightforward enough, but how would you design a gateway router accessible via WiFi that would direct all traffic over tor? This is not idea. The client (or full OS like TAILS or Whonix) is ideal and many common sites block tor (like this one). There must be a design for combining proxies with tor to get this AP to work practically for conventional use, as it seems to be advertised. Maybe early on, before tor got blocked so much, it did work as simply as it sounds.

    Has anyone read the book or theories that inspired this work? Probably perfect for this community. I want to see if I can get a hold of a copy.
