exactly this. i say PIR - Private Information Retrieval

offline everything, no middlehands

condition “the industry” as these are called to change the RND departement - live without dependency on fuckers

yeah okay well your watchparties are increasingly going to get worse until you too hit your threshold: such is the business.

the rest of the world uses a VPN like MullvadVPN and qBittorrent to “digitally back up media we’ve already bought”. without ads, in better quality, without telemetry, without serfdom-subscriptions. you may like AI offloading your decisionmaking, but keep doing it and you will be codependent on authority for choosing anything in life. what do you want in a cozy moment away from work? it frustrates me to read people are too anxioys to begin to do otherwise and accept the way things are. that’s a rant in return

have a nice day, i won’t make this into a chain of replies.

rip em a new one

this phrasing is biased in a scare-mongering way

no, it’s not a monster driving fear into a few true Democrats

it’s Democrats with integrity resuming course against oligarch traitors who don’t belong in politics after sabotage to the american people time and time again

this is a long time coming and we applaud

full proprietary circle

open-source never dies

also illiterare on sarcasm too lmao i see my comment got 60 upvotes and your unsarcastic comment got downvoted

love to see it

i don’t share the assumption that LineageOS doesn’t run on any phone, welp

last i checked it runs on phones from every brand ever

says everything about iPhones ‘security’ & ‘privacy’

repeats it

idk thats fallacious assumption of knowledge and generalizing i feel uneasy to let go unchecked.

most people talk to are intimidated and confused about mobile operating systems. by your assuredness i assume you use Linux and are cynically pragmatic about “non-tech savvy users who are fucked anyway” /my bias speaking

imho a video of a phone teardown to physically remove front camera & microphones & what else the person don’t feel a want or need for together with the overview that shows the beginning-to-end of the brief process assures people they can take the plunge into governing their own digital tools.

you’re not the state, just a person online, so not aimed at you, but i find others deserving of positive encouragement. leaving the door open and lights on to people wondering if GrapheneOS & a Pixelphone is the silverbullet or if stock android is as good as LineageOS (edit: yes, even on the phone held in their hand right now, or found about to be sold for 20$.)

people keep bringing up buying a new phone for thousands of non-dollar currencies. . .

consider this: pick a trashed phone out of the literal trash and 2nd hands around high-income households, look at ‘teardown’ videos like me, use a screwdriver to unscrew fromtcamera & whichever other component (Bluetooth, GSM, GPS, gyroscope, …) & install LineageOS.

ah shite! =(
