Reason for the fork

Has the original developer of Bromite ever reappeared to let us know he’s alright!

Things like ad services, Android, other OSs, Hosting/Cloud, lot’s of other stuff. Wikipedia is a good resource.

You’re welcome. :)

Me too, hellos!

Letter. Also, people are suprisingly capable if they have no other choice. Don’t see it as an ultimatum. See it as an “I’m doing somehing good for me, this will impact our relationship, I provide a solution to that impact.”.

Banning openai is the equivalent of banning caramel. Sure, it’s gonna be missing, but there’s a million other candies and most people (outside of tech) wouldn’t even really realize it, if they weren’t told.

Google and Meta are different, because they are long standing quasi-monopolies. But even then we could move away from things like search or social media. Services that are more engrained and less visible are going to be the main enemy here.

And no, we’re not doomed. Far from it. This space is in the middle of development. Nothing is set in stone, giants fall left and right, new ones emerge aside them. You’re doing a doomerism.

Not really. I think what you’re on about (not in the british cunty sense), is that they’re part of a venture capitalist company, or got bought up by them and are thus for-profit. Such practices are, in reality, often connected to right-wing politics. Big tech being the best example.

All this babbling about complex constructs, it’s really quite simple.

When we have no moments to outselves, when everything we know, we think, we do, is being recorded and processed (which it luckily isn’t yet), then regurgitated in one way or the other, we lose identity.
Identity is a core part of being human. There are reasons that other people shouldn’t know what we think, I think you can figure those out for yourselves.

So when someone says “They have nothing to hide”, then they ignore a fundamental part of themselves, which they need to live. It’s like saying someone doesn’t need eyebrows, because they have no emotions to show. It is just false.

Everybody has something they do not want others to know. Whether it is you thinking badly about your elders, which you do out of love and to protect them, or thinking how your colleague is doing something wrong, which will train you to be better than them in that instance.

Once these things are no longer private, identities break down and society does not work anymore. Socialism, capitalism, communism, all those depend on faces.

This is even true for the animal kindom. Or do you think a lion could catch prey, if the prey knows the lion’s though, or the prey could escape the lion if the lion knew the prey’s thoughts?

There are places where privacy can instrumentalized, but that’s where we can do something against it. The problem is about finding the fine line where we maximize privacy for a healthy society, while minimizing potential issues through it. We’re way past that line.

Hehehee
Actually though, theat’s not truthfully Occam’s razor. Occam’s razor requires the easiest answer with the least assumptions, which would be, that they’re using their tooling wrong.

Fix: Everytime you go to use a VPN, you delete any browsing data, ideally even start an entirely new vm, with a privacy friendly browser. Also gotta make sure to use an operating system that can’t be so easily fingerprinted, along with the computers hardware. So the only real easy answer is Whonix.

Yes, but we were not talking about platform support here. FSF is free to port device support from Lineage do Graphene. There is noone stopping them.

Absolutely that’s an issue. But we’re not talking about that here. We are talking about a base os from where we can progress. I don’t care much for Google phones, even though I must admit they are nice phones. Google can not un-opensource AOSP. They can, to a certain extend, stop open sourcing changes, but that’s about it. Doesn’t mean we need to follow their os. Also doesn’t mean we can’t, slowly but surely, develop Android to be more of a Sandbox ontop of a newer Linux kernel than it is right now. Utopian, I know, but if Google stops AOSP developmentz what would we rather do?

Logic is simple: Actually have something 10 years from now.

I mean I don’t know which law that would be since the Internet is specifically public. You can film in public too in most places on earth.

This is probably the most anonymous way to text.

Matrix is convenient, not perfect security in any way.

I mean since I’m not using his oh so worthy platform I guess I’m not said beetle? I am also a young dev and have already made a record in the privavy community and plan to make even better progress, so you’re just plain wrong that I may not have contributed anything. Sucking up to a billionaire as much as you just did really makes you sound like you’re part of a cult.

Since you are so about unreasoably insulting people, I drew a picture of you.

Get your act together. There are issues out there to be solved but they won’t be solved by infighting, especially not by you.

Also, the Telegram billionaire is a lying piece of shit. Anyone barely literate about privacy will avoid that platform, for their private messages, with a 10 foot pole.

Sorry, my point was when you have control over what gets shared and you basically decide the files yourself, you can also control what kind of data gets shared, so theres not just a straight up hole.

Not necessarily. It would provide an attack vectore for sure, that being the data connection between profiles, but if it is implemented in a controllable manner (See qubes os), it’s fine. The only issue I see with GrapheneOS in this scenario is: There is no uncompromised host for verification, so I don’t really know myself how something safe could be implemented, however I would also think devs don’t really want to, since there are ways which OP has already described some of.

Read Mexicunt at first, that was not very nice.

You know, I don’t know if you are trying to be annoying or if you truly do not know. Here is a wikipedia link for topic of device fingerprints: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Device_fingerprint

Here is the Tor project’s take on it: https://blog.torproject.org/browser-fingerprinting-introduction-and-challenges-ahead/

And here is an overview of the browsers which are best at preventing fingerprinting for desktop: https://www.privacyguides.org/en/desktop-browsers/

The privacyguides website is generally a good resource. Sometimes, rarely, lacks a little behind in the latest and greatest. It’s not primarily a site for news anyways.

One part of your browser’s fingerprint that I find quite interesting and is easy to understand is it’s resolution. Your browser displays websites in a set resolution, say 1080x1920. This resolution is dependent of your screen’s resolution, the window size of the browser and generally everything that changes the shape anf size of the website. Firefox does not protect here, old man.

Yes. They do. Not by name, but by your fingerprint.

Also, just because a VPN is paid for does not mean it is secure. Look into Mullvad and as a second option Proton VPN, if you have not already.

Well to cut it short, Incognito mode often just means that your own device will not remember anything. Meaning your keyboard does not log your keystrokes, your browser does not save your searches etc. Even if this was compeletely true 100% of the time (which it is not, example, you copy or download something), then the websites you visit would still have your device’s fingerprint, so a VPN connection won’t do much. It is better to use a privacy-oriented browser like Mull. If you want to, you can add incognito mode ON TOP, which on Firefox and therefore Mull is called private browsing mode. Do keep in mind, that it is hard enough to have a non-unique fingerprint. This only gets amplified on mobile devices, at least speaking for Android. IOS is out of the window by default lmao.

Hey man didn’t mean to make you feel down. Incognito mode is just the wrong tool for the job.

Alright, just checking.

Simple. Do not use Roku. If you use a Roku, you should not really worry about Youtube, as Roku is no better and probably still just sells to Google. If you have no other choice, then you may access a piped server over it’s web interface. This one is from a guy named kavin. Other than that, I am not really sure if there is a client for Roku.

My brother. Use Piped.

You are aware that they do not need to save the data to your device to track you, right?

“Any popular browser in incognito mode” is probably the worst advice I’ve ever heard.

Fuck off op

Lmao

What app is that

And I did not say you said that. Thatdoes not matter though, as what I say still stands. The network they use for onion routing is incredibly weak. Even Tor isn’t as powerful a network as most would think.

Also: Speed does not matter. Speed ≠ strength.

Session does NOT use the tor network. They use their own, smaller, way easier to take over network.

You know what Session also has? Well it ain’t forward secrecy.

Are the only countries with a death penalty so far

Please also consider things like canvas spoofing. It will create a unique fingerprint that is different every time.
