AFAIK more services are switching either to TOTP, passkeys or to WhatsApp/Telegram.

Welcome to (most of) Europe, we have this bullshit for a long time.

Session, Signal, Matrix, and more.

KeypassXC for sus stuff and Bitwarden for everything else.

He’s a comedian, don’t take him seriously.

Where is an OS switch mentioned?

If you’re cooked, then just use a lighter to set the thing you don’t want to be exposed on fire.

Tor isn’t a VPN. It’s a proxy.

If Signal isn’t private, then why it is recommended over WhatsApp, Matrix and over SimpleX?

Buy x86 hardware and install Linux on it.

Just use Airalo.

Why not Matrix?

Try dockur/windows container image.

May I remind you that you were a child back in the day.

But yeah, it goes really bad when the govt. starts to replace the parent’s duty for child’s safety.

You can hide the Error notification type (at least in AOSP Android 15).

Our eID app (eDoklady) stores the data as passkeys, so you can easily selfhost something like Bitwarden if you want the digital representation of your ID stored with you.

And when it comes to verification on the website, it goes like this with ZKProofs:

if verification_app.status().is_ok() {
 continue
}

I just threw “id card reader” into Brave Search. But I think the image is from Amazon.

Fortunately, you can regulate your access to your ID by using one of these:

It won’t happen.

Fortunately, eDoklady (Slovak digital ID wallet) stores the data of an ID as an passkey, so I’ll use it to verify the size of my peni-- I mean my identity.

Brave.

Try to disable telemetry.

1. A Lemmy client
2. It’s easier to use
3. Look it up
4. Contacts app.

Because I want to swipe for ,hot chicks in the area".

Please don’t ask why I have Tinder installed.

I live in the EU and ID checks for social media

The app will ask for your camera anyway.

::spoiler Please stop panicking. ID checks are fortunaterly contained on the British isles. They left the EU 5 years ago. . ::

Use work profiles and also try Signal.

Flash TWRP and you’ll have access to a root shell in an recovery.

Rooted

Why would you do that?

Don’t know if GitLab counts as alternative (it has no bullshit according to Brave Shields, and AFAIK they’re independent)

Don’t forget that CUPS (the thing that lets you print easily on Linux) is also funded and developed by Apple.

Just use Mullvad.

For me a democracy is a government funded by funds that are not stolen away by an Eurofund embezzlement mafia.

Why won’t they just start selling it on local e-shops like MediaMarkt in DACH or Alza in the Slovak and Czech republic?

It’d attract them more customers that (if they’ll like the phone) they can sell future phones/products to.

If they want to have reach, they have to be aggressive both with pricing and with availability. I don’t care if it is available at a carrier (they are prohibited to carrier lock devices in the EU anyway) or on Amazon, it has to be everywhere to let the public know that they exist.

And then the snowball effect starts to show as more outlets and influencers start to say positive things about the phone.

Simply put, every privacy/Linux phone company sacrifices user’s shopping comfort with greediness.

Just put foam on the walls.

Unfortunately, normal people don’t like crypto because of association with scams. But it’s great as an secondary payment option.

Thank god mine still uses paper notebook.

You’re just spoiled.

Switzerland is the only country that I know has direct democracy. The others have indirect democracies where you vote politicians (or parties here in Slovakia) and they decide on your behalf what they want.

If it was cheaper than the competition in the googled Android space and was a foldable, I’d consider buying it.

Just be aggressive with pricing and don’t be afraid of working with middlemen, since for example in Slovakia, people are used to shop via the green alien shop, because they can have student discounts, volume-based discounts for businesses, drop boxes, and more things that the manufacturer can’t afford to do.

I’m fortunately not American.

Guns should be regulated anyway.

Too bad its not a foldable.
