“One of” not the only. It is one of the reasons it is suited and a big reason at that. In combination with many other ofcourse

Only device meeting the requirements. One of the only devices which allows relocking the bootloader. So it is a matter of no other alternative existing

Paranoid and has some outburst from time to time. Dude does some amazing work though.

Hikvision with a local NVR. And if your scared because their Chinese (like everything else almost these days…) Put it all in a clan without internet access.

Understandable you dont name it. I never hat a company be like this how ever.

Which the back peddled from. But still a very bad direction. As well as removing drivers that allow video encoding a while ago.

Which company if I may ask? Name and schame… Honestly I would leave such a invasive company. It is not worth it.

It can be if enough people start using it.

With EU its chat control this is more important then ever!

Got 7 profiles actually.

1. is the owner of course.
2. Then I have my main profile.
3. A untrusted profile. Shady apps cracked apps etc. This profile also is not allowed to run in the background.
4. Then my finance profile. Has my banking apps and such.
5. A testing profile. Used to test backups of grapheneos and such.
6. A work profile. Dont need that to run in the background either. But is useful to stay in touch over the weekends.
7. And a private profile.

This way I can still use all my apps. While not requiring google play in all my profiles. Also being able to disable certain things for profiles is super useful. Running in the background, allowed to make/receive calls to name a few

Uuurg we really need a law banning this can’t of shit… And these attempts to impose privacy invasion things.

It is. I just happen to use both keepassxc and bitwarden with my own vaultwarden instance.

Keepassxc and self hosted vaultwarden.

Take a look at Feishin and Tempo for android. 2 great music players that work well with navidrome.

Germany opposing chat controll is such good news. But we have to wait to see the true outcome.

Right… The French that are supporting chat control.

😅🤣

I mean I don’t see them back dooring GOS anytime soon. But your right both ends need to have a custom ROM.

Custom roms is your best bed at that point. I do use GOS already.

I am curious to why no google Pixel?

While coming up with such flawed laws as well. I doubt they even look at the feedback

Instead of a VPN just route everything true tor. And block anything that tries to get around it.

You can lead a horse to water but you can not make it drink.

I do use the proprietary drivers with a GTX 1080TI. Just the default kernel though so that might change it a bit in your case then.

Mmm interesting. I have not hat any issues with rolling back and snapshots. Even though I do use nvidia. Configuring flathub shouldn’t be too difficult I think. But I don’t use a DE eather

Can I ask which rolling distro that was. I presume arch?

For me Tumbleweed is rock solid even though it is rolling. But if you don’t like subtle changes it might not be fore you.

Most likely Tumbleweed. As it is the most modern of them. Because it is rolling.

I think a big improvement to these test would be to show what actually gets send. You can do this with a certificate and a proxy.

Yeah. Often being open and good at the same time doesn’t happen. I hope steam will change that.

And banning if you where not the owner of the device. So you couldn’t even share it with your friends.

I am still and will wait for a much more open platform that is Linux compatible.

I know their is one at I2P not sure about tor yet.

When does this stupid joke of a EU law end…

Or get a google pixel with GrapheneOS and make a extra user profile for it.

Isn’t bazzite designed for mainly gaming only? So any productivity work is not well suited for it?

Well depending how old you where that’s fine or creepy

If you live in such a suppressed area. Tor might be your best bet. Hosting the site on a .onion address.

Just watched a video of Low level: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tRATnT577Aw

Although this is about the US this is EXACTLY the shit that will happen to this whole chat scanning BS

My issue with simplex is the centralization. Yes you can self host the servers and point the app to that. But honestly almost no one will change defaults led alone setup a whole server for it.

Only the pixels phones allow for relocking the bootloader with a custom ROM. Might be possible on a few other devices when jumping true a load of hoops and potentially bricking the device.
