All my banking apps and credit card apps have worked flawlessly on Graphene OS. You’re correct that tap to pay doesn’t work, which is a bummer. But that is just Google spyware as well, honestly.

I heard about this a while ago, but I remember the GrapheneOS team talking about suing Google if they didn’t allow them to pass play integrity checks like they should be able to, but Google just doesn’t let them. That’s the only reason tap to pay doesn’t work and some baking apps have issues, its Google purposefully limiting graphene OS so they have a competitive edge somewhere.

You are correct, it is just a privacy respecting meta search engine! I self host my own instance, another thing to love.

4get is wayyyyy better imo, here’s a list of many instances. https://4get.ca/instances (my instance https://4get.lurx.net/)

Edit: because I think it’s funny as well, here is the creator of 4get self made comparison between 4get and searx

The key thing is Linux is free and open source, free as In eat shit and fucking die government fucking pigs.

As the other guy said, double edged sword. Asbestos was fucking great, and is still used for certain things because it’s great. The poor interaction with human biology was the other side of the sword.

An aside, I just pulled a fuck load of vinyl asbestos tile out of a house a year ago and while it wasn’t actually all that dangerous because I took proper precautions it’s sorta scary anyway cause of the poor interaction thing.

Theres evidence they use the very popular tool cursor that many devs and large companies use.

The post is about security /privacy, the non American ceos political opinions don’t impact that. Proton is still a good VPN/mail provider

True, but I think it would be extremely easy to identify them from the strings of dozens of identical letters still visible on the hat.

Good point, didn’t think about it like that haha

“UK developing new hybrid non lethal/lethal weapon that will use murder risk prediction score to select operating mode. This amazing invention will cut down on police related deaths, learn more tonight on BBC.”

I swear the UK is as dystopian as the US and even worse in a lot of ways.

Familiar is bad imo, just switch to something different. It is different, embrace it. I use Fedora gnome btw

Sadly it will likely take more dystopian actions from state actors like this for monero or other crypto to actually become more popular and usable on a day to day basis.

Someday it’ll happen though, and I can’t wait.

also SaaS is cancerous shit

This, Apple is very anti consumer and you have no freedom to use their devices how you want, only how apple wants.

I’m waiting for the first mass protest that utilizes Lora communications

Come on noobs, get with the times!

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I wish but switching to Apple would be just as bad and I would want to die being forced to use their fisher price software for the tech illiterate.

Soon though, in the next 5 years I think Linux phones (I know Android is Linux, you know what I mean) will be in a good state. So hopefully I can switch soonish

It wouldn’t be, on Linux at least

When I said privacy respecting software, I definitely did not mean windows or Mac lol. Open source is the only way to actually know something respects your privacy, so both those pieces of software are inherently not that. Linux for life!

While this would be terrible if it passes, a part of me hopes a silver lining would be a massive surge in open source development focusing on privacy respecting software that does not follow or enable this disgusting behavior by the eu

Well the disabled people getting this implant probably don’t care about musk, it’s legitimately a cool technology and good competition for the medical space.

Musk is a cuck still, and I’m sure we’ll have to wait a couple generations before we get the dystopian stuff in Neurallink
