I have never had a device join an open network by itself.

Have no open networks around.

Source? Never heard of that ever.

Any proof of this. First I’ve heard about it.

No I use to much self hosted services. My phone is mostly an audiobook/podcast playing device. And audiobook shelf is to good to give up.

I mean that is standard on all mobile OS. IOS has it standard android has it.

My only problem with GrapheneOS is the lead developer.

My provider must do a good job as I barely get spam calls. On another it was more common.

Yep. And does it matter. I know my numbers out there don’t get many spam calls though. I guess not picking up and doing call screening is effective.

Who cares? If it’s spam callers they call every number available anyways.

I don’t know how they didn’t realize this decades ago. Being dependant on a foreign nation is stupid even if an Allie. What is even dumber is Europe cannot get out of it. They are talking about using European vendors for PC purchases. Sure but who is making the processors and the hardware for those computers.

Is KDE browser hanging around still? I know apple based their browser off of it.

No they still base it off of Firefox so it’s a soft fork. Hard fork is when you branch off and don’t do a resync again.

How long can they do they for. Like it or not Mozilla does most of the coding for those browsers. 0

Yes all the derivatives would die if Firefox went away.

Me also but to what?

No matter what any company says if they get an order to log a user’s up they’re following it.

No I have people I want to be able to contact me.

It’s true though. The web was built on ads because no one wants to pay for stuff. It also would not have gotten to where it is if it was pay. Would it have been better though we we’ll never know.

No it isn’t. And it is a fairly new concept. And privacy from what there is really no way to be totally private unless you move to the woods and never interact with anyone else. I’ve heard people complain about their neighbours know what they are doing on here and there is no way to prevent that kind of stuff if your interacting with other people even in person.

Then why do they keep it? The collect so much data and keep it all. Then when there is a leak it’s worse cause they have so much “useless” data.

Your not giving it away for free though. They are exchanging it for services. You might not see value in the services but I guess some people do.

Don’t you need power?

Must not do much with your phone. Or you use it less after graphene.

The problem with that is it is going to retry again and again. I wish there was a way to make them think they connected so there would be less tries.

Well that is easy it is the second one. There is no boring algorithm.

Doesn’t matter he seems to have lots of power over the other countries. As everyone wants access to their money.

They want it all the data so they can sell well taking all your money. It’s insane capitalism is broken and we the people should be revolting instead of just accepting it. If people only knew how much data they had on us.

Hahaha I got a sandbox to sell you in the Sahara. Everyone is selling data or ads they are not leaving money on the table.

Let them build a profile on me I never see their ads anyway. I can minimize but not escape it if I want to partake in modern society.

Fight back they’re pushing for it. Keeps getting introduced and we’ll go through at some point. Unless by Europe you mean individual people but in that case it is already lost.

For profit VPNs I think is what everyone means. So people can get past region blocks or censorship. Since they offset very little else.

That is not effective either and is easy to break. At least steganographic I know nothing about snowflake but if it’s similar it would be trivial.

I still believe they let it happen. Could be wrong but it reminded me of the Machines in the Matrix.

That is false. Everyone says that but where where the hacks for direct TV or the Nagra 3 for dish? They never came besides massive money sitting on the table for whoever did. Or modern console jailbreaking? Have the PS5 and latest XBox have hacks?

They could ban VPNs and not play cat an mouse. I always think China allows some VPN use when they could stop it completely. I always think of the Matrix with the option of leaving.

People won’t do that as we are lazy as a species. Any sort of friction and the people who do it well drop considerably.

Why is it transparent? Cause its open source. Yes there has never been anything a bug or backdoor in open source code before ever.

Sure sure first it was the CalyxOS guys, then youtubers and now the French Government. Lets say it is true I don’t believe him cause he’s a crazy asshole.

Guys an asshole and has always been one.
