I am aure they’d rather be busy doing other things but if the Governmwnt starts taking liberties and shits on the Constitution, then we need someone to step up to the plate… Shame on the Government.

On my mobile I use a pixel 4, I tried Graphene OS but my banking failed so back to stock Android

Here in Australia I just use a physical card for tap and go for payments etc or use cash. No need for Google Pay or bank payments app. Can log in via my bank via a web browser to move cash about or check spending.

I think you demonstrated the entire point, people prefer invasive convenience over privacy., along with flimsy justification. Not having a go, it’s exactly what most people say when I query them about privacy, “It’s so much eaaier and how I manage” etc etc.

Then we have your FB messenger thing. Dead lord, stop that. If they don’t want to chat to me on Signal, they’re obviously not my friend.

Wtf ? I use it semi often and have never enxouterd it either. That seems a little off ? You make it sound like.its all over the place like with Discord.

Last time I sent one was,.10 years ago maybe ? I can’t.remember…

Still.get them. Alas for 2FA

I’m somewhat surprised that there’s no purchasable solution to this problem as

There is, you just don’t have access for very good reasons.

Hell, I own shares in Droneshield (DRO.AX) for example.

How far up do you own, I didn’t release anyone owned space above their place.?

Jesus F Christ, what???/some random bullets.flying through the air ? Some kid a few blocks over shot whikie playing in the yard, thats ok, was shooting at some asshats drone but missed?

Juat moon the drone and be done with it, like a sane person

How is it trespassing? How far up do you “own” ? 5m , 200m, 1000km?

On the other hand, get a another drone and play chasey wott theirs, maybe and some talons to yours and swoop, eagle style ?

Hates too strong a word for me, walled garden is unacceptable, completly unacceptable.

I get 1/2 my apps from F Drod.

All the time, right now copying 400 MB onto one as an eBook Calibre library backup.

Same thing happened to RFK Jr

Nokia ? I have an XR20. Doubles as a GPS etc on the front of my bicycle, its great, has a headphone jack and SD expansion.

I am not that familair with their lineup though there is an XR21 I think? And a bunch of other models.

A perfectly private social media service could be constructed but it likely won’t because there is no profit motive.

And here it is, that thing you said most likely won’t be…

Even if it were, how many people would truly use it.

To be social, 3 people, maybe 5 is all you’d need.

As to proft motive, maybe you’re not aware of FOSS?

Goto social ?

Same for Firefox on Linux and Android. Just install the archive extension.

Sarcasm ? An Australian company, with zero constitutional protection from a 5 eyes nation? It screams honey pot

Why is Session always mentioned ? It’s an Australian company, in a land with zero constitutional oversight I’d be more inclined to think its a honeypot then a privavy focused chat app. Anom springs to mind as an example.

After dithering with dual boot for years I jumped ship to Linux only (LMDE) with their incessant reminders about moving to W11 from W10 popped up. Missing a few apps but fuk’ em.

Not sure but maybe Ubuntu on the phone ?
