Kate’s dope for everything, small notes, code.

vpn company be normal for 1 second challenge [impossible]

China also has a centralized data repo that companies can access but must also contribute to

i find its easier to just copy paste cryptomator everywhere into backups than rclones built in setup

Its on flathub btw

What will Chinese police do to my email in the worst case? Send me a strongly worded letter?

whenever china makes an open source mail provider i’d be interested, because theres zero chance china complies with anything the usa says.

man i know some people with schizophrenia that would lose it after seeing that

ive literally never opened a spotify link. i am clean and in my prime

soulseek is still jamming bros. download nicotine+ from flathub

The bigger concern here is that the app isn’t sandboxed, not machine id. Run something like secureblue that has better sandboxing by default

Mullvad browser is still mostly maintained by the Tor project and doesn’t phone home, still one of the best choices for a no fingerprint browser even if you use a different vpn for it. Biggest downside imo is it’s not on Android. It’s entirely FOSS and again, no phoning home on an action, so it doesn’t matter what the creator thinks.

My personal use case for tracking is different from others, I mostly want to avoid surveillance capitalism. It’s genuinely a problem for my PTSD, if I talk about my PTSD on a corporate app I’ll get spammed with triggering shit 24/7 because they like to spam you with “solutions” and self help and news for crimes against women like it’s my special interest. Obviously I would love to avoid state surveillance but you’re not getting that from any vpn server domiciled in the west, it’d have to be in a geopolitical enemy of the west e.g. Russia or China or Serbia and most people would not like the latency that involves.

I mean most things are just timeserver checks or poking GitHub/flathub/repo servers. Not something you can fully prevent if you value seamless functionality. Fedora has an opt out telemetry ping just to see how many people are using each version, but it comes part of when you run an update and ping their servers for that anyways. If you want it all removed and still have good functionality I really recommend secureblue

what makes you think im in mexico

idk why you think its somehow a much more monumental task to support something that already works (re:gos and aosp) vs building something entirely from scratch

linux needs to focus on becoming as secure as aosp/gos first before even considering being on a phone

linux is not secure enough to be a phone lol

if cops arrest you and its not fully turned off and encrypted with luks youre boned, and look at all the current devices supported for linux, its basically just the very expensive pine or fair phone. older pixels are fairly easy to buy in poorer countries.

then theres postmarketos which has the far larger selection of devices but most of these are quite old at this point. not to mention it uses far more resources and will drain your battery 10-20% faster

graphene is the way

The issue with it is how it operates in userspace and how any settings alterations makes the print unique

yes, but ideally via something built into the browser, not an extension
