i mean this is all true of them

idk i don’t chalk it up to a “just me” issue

FairPhone 5 and my family member uses whatever comes at a discount every other year when “their previous phone breaks down” (always software issues only)

“we are not the same” heh

and well hey politics and policy are neat. dooming opens the path for courage to be outspoken.

Fediverse, like Friendica, has servers in america

bro you alright?

just gameplay to show the game on the channel i linked

hi, please elaborate on what you mean?

i can rip yt-vids, haven’t found the OST on yt yet though

woo lowkey glad you commented just for sharing you also played Cabals :')

found apks for it on apk pure, idk anything about apk extraction yet - i’ll figure that out =)

i have a harder time finding my way on abandonware sites since idk any legit yet

edit: the oldest and the newest release of the apk shows they used unity to make the game. all the non-code files have gibberish names and seem to be split up. would super appreciate a comment on what’s going on with the files

that’s you doing exactly the thing told in the ‘reverse centaur’ stage talk?

exactly this. i say PIR - Private Information Retrieval

offline everything, no middlehands

condition “the industry” as these are called to change the RND departement - live without dependency on fuckers

yeah okay well your watchparties are increasingly going to get worse until you too hit your threshold: such is the business.

the rest of the world uses a VPN like MullvadVPN and qBittorrent to “digitally back up media we’ve already bought”. without ads, in better quality, without telemetry, without serfdom-subscriptions. you may like AI offloading your decisionmaking, but keep doing it and you will be codependent on authority for choosing anything in life. what do you want in a cozy moment away from work? it frustrates me to read people are too anxioys to begin to do otherwise and accept the way things are. that’s a rant in return

have a nice day, i won’t make this into a chain of replies.

rip em a new one

full proprietary circle

open-source never dies

also illiterare on sarcasm too lmao i see my comment got 60 upvotes and your unsarcastic comment got downvoted

i don’t share the assumption that LineageOS doesn’t run on any phone, welp

last i checked it runs on phones from every brand ever

says everything about iPhones ‘security’ & ‘privacy’

repeats it

indeed! even neat stuff with the “stable volume”/AI post-processing i say

idk thats fallacious assumption of knowledge and generalizing i feel uneasy to let go unchecked.

most people talk to are intimidated and confused about mobile operating systems. by your assuredness i assume you use Linux and are cynically pragmatic about “non-tech savvy users who are fucked anyway” /my bias speaking

imho a video of a phone teardown to physically remove front camera & microphones & what else the person don’t feel a want or need for together with the overview that shows the beginning-to-end of the brief process assures people they can take the plunge into governing their own digital tools.

you’re not the state, just a person online, so not aimed at you, but i find others deserving of positive encouragement. leaving the door open and lights on to people wondering if GrapheneOS & a Pixelphone is the silverbullet or if stock android is as good as LineageOS (edit: yes, even on the phone held in their hand right now, or found about to be sold for 20$.)

people keep bringing up buying a new phone for thousands of non-dollar currencies. . .

consider this: pick a trashed phone out of the literal trash and 2nd hands around high-income households, look at ‘teardown’ videos like me, use a screwdriver to unscrew fromtcamera & whichever other component (Bluetooth, GSM, GPS, gyroscope, …) & install LineageOS.
