  • GrapheneOS is finally ready to break free from Pixels, and it may never look back

    Jump

  • It's more that Google is making it significantly more difficult for non-Google sanctioned projects to operate on Pixel phones and there may come a time when it's no longer feasible to develop GrapheneOS for the Pixel

  • I mean does it really matter if they offer all the hardware security features and it's running with GrapheneOS, which is FOSS

    There's nothing inherently less secure about a device just because it's Chinese lol

  • Apparently Palantir can access the content of social media accounts that were deleted a decade ago.

    Jump

  • Opposition research isn't really illegal, there's no confirmation that anything from Palantir was actually used, and it's trivially easy for any layperson to view deleted reddit comments-- to be perfectly honest in this specific case I just don't think there was anything really untoward

  • My experience with Arch

    Jump

  • I hardly ever read the news and I update like once every one to two weeks, and I'm not sure I've ever had a system breaking bug introduced by an update. I've had small bugs that break UI stuff but nothing that really impairs my ability to use the computer.

    I have run into all sorts of weird issues trying to run games or programs not packaged to run on Arch but those are usually solvable with tinkering and some outside advice.

    Arch has just never really felt inherently unstable to me, IMO. If you have patience for tinkering and customizing Arch is a great distro that gives you a ton of control over your system + has a fantastic body of documentation.

  • Does anyone actually use Gentoo? Why?

    Jump

  • I think in the day when desktop Linux was jankier and you had to tweak things a lot to get them to work well it was more beneficial to have a distro where you just compiled everything from source anyways. Now it is anachronistic, IMO.

  • I just found out my fiancee wants to switch to linux, lets start a distro war, what should be her first? + other questions

    Jump

  • Wayland has way more compatibility issues especially with other Linux stuff lol

  • Any fitness trackers not sending my health data to the USA?

    Jump

  • I wouldn't characterize Garmin as having a business model based on data mining, their privacy policy is actually the best out of the mainstream fitness watches and they're probably one of the best privacy respecting choices especially if you don't connect it to the internet. It doesn't necessarily satisfy OPs requirement of not sending data to the US, though.

  • Doordash deserves it's fate

    Jump

  • People with more money than sense lol, there's never really a great reason to get Doordash or Uber Eats

  • Experian requiring access to my phone carrier account in order to provide my annual free credit report

    Jump

  • You're majorly handicapping yourself in the US if you don't use credit at all- you'll get your credit score checked for apartments, home loans, utilities, even some job application background checks-- and the only way to build your credit score is to participate in the system. That's not even mentioning the fact that the financial system makes it extremely worth your while via points/cashback/bonuses/etc as well as the extra security you have from being able to put stuff on your credit card in a major emergency. It sucks and it shouldn't be this way but it is.

  • How private is a fairphone?

    Jump

  • The gold standard for privacy is still Pixel with GrapheneOS tbh

  • I just watched a video that explained how Google, the CIA and the NSA work together to get all of our online data. What are ways to minimize that besides not using Google?

    Jump

  • NewPipe is rly good on Android and FreeTube can be glitchy especially if you have a VPN but I've found its the best option for desktop

  • The WIRED Guide to Protecting Yourself From Government Surveillance

    Jump

  • email is never private, if its that sensitive it just shouldn't go on the internet

  • after 40 all meals are horror

    Jump

  • One of the greatest freedoms of adulthood is realizing you can have whatever you want for breakfast and nobody can stop you imo

  • after 40 all meals are horror

  • If you find a few recipies you really like and learn how to do them from memory, and then make them a lot, you learn lots of efficiencies and shortcuts that save a ton of time. Making stuff without a recipie at all is even faster.
