Oh yeah and ChatGPT doesn’t

Capitalism will find a way to monetize what you like or need. Which is what kills everything good about life.

Tracking

If only someone gave a shit about the law

Honestly, I stopped fighting because every data point about everyone is just out there. The little to none that’s kept private is scraped by the governments.

Try captchas

Forensic acquisition tools like Cellebrite take hours to clone storage. Not saying they wouldn’t do it, just saying that legitimate acquisition that can be used against you has to be collected in a very certain way for it to be proof.

Honestly, I wouldn’t worry about all the comments discussed here. Mainly because the governments already have access to everything and I mean EVERYTHING. They will get a subpoena in under a minute if they want to check something regarding your digital life. Not condoning it, just a fact of present life.

I would invest in it if I could

You can’t really expect to have any privacy if you’re using any online service anymore, so I just stopped trying. Blasting a Samsung phone with all the features enabled and not thinking of going back really.

We can all blame Google for that.

On Android try NewPipe, but dont expect algorithm recommendations, just the main trending pages. Same for iOS use “unwatched”

Start with the basics:

• Harden SSH by only allowing public key authentication and use strong keys to authenticate instead of passwords.
• Setup fail2ban (lots of online resources, check Linode guides) to block malicious IPs temporarily.
• If the data you store is something only you should see, then it should not ever be connected to the internet, airgap wherever possible.
• And finally, keep your shit updated.

Apple needs to port Logic to Windows

I’m scared, but nothing is sacred…yeah

Roku TVs have version locked features, so I update them once then reset network settings, which wipes the connection. Then there’s the indicator light which you need to remove. But after that connect an apple tv and use it!

The issue is that easily unlockable bootloaders exist, it’s just that they exist on [Shady Company] Pixels. So you either move on to a privacy focused OS and lose a bunch of basic ass features because [Shady Company] slowly removed them from the main OS, or you end up using the least privacy focused device ever made in the history of humanity. So if you’re just in it for the basics, iOS is the way to go. I’m telling you this as someone who has been rooting, buying and selling Android devices for about 9 years.

The internet is forever and there is no privacy on the internet.

If you look closely iOS 18 is actually a replica of the Chinese phones’ UI.

Look into DNS over HTTPS. Otherwise no matter what provider you use, DNS is just unencrypted.

It’s past due that we need a new platform.
