3·4 days agoYou should probably also consider CalyxOS, which supports most Pixel phones and, for me at least, seems to work with banking apps using microG while removing all of the pre installed Google bloat and providing a firewall.
That said, I haven’t tried GrapheneOS. From what I hear you can lock it down even more and there are more features.

Isn’t she the crazy one?
Signed up and donated. Related interview:
I thought that OEM unlocking was removed years ago? That’s why I’ve not bought Samsung phones since the mid-2010s.
They had a thing that would blow a fuse if you unlocked your phone. Did they get rid of that for a while?
Not if they end up banning VPNs, which is already something being discussed. If that happens, I might genuinely leave the country.
Dude. I just bought a used 6A last week.
31·10 days agoI wrote my CV site in React and Next.js configured for SSG (Static Site Generation) which means that the whole site loads perfectly without JavaScript, but if you do have JS enabled you’ll get a theme switching and print button.
That said, requiring JS makes sense on some sites, namely those that act more like web apps that let you do stuff (like WhatsApp or Photopea). Not for articles, blogs etc. though.
Reminds me of this history fact about the movie Metropolis (1927):
Much to Fritz Lang’s dismay, Adolf Hitler and Joseph Goebbels were big fans of the film. Goebbels met with Lang and told him that he could be made an honorary Aryan despite his Jewish background. Goebbels told him “Mr. Lang, we decide who is Jewish and who is not.” Lang left for Paris that very night.
No idea why they were collecting identification then.
Even worse, since the hackers got a bunch of the data at once, the company must have held onto those pictures long after they registered people to their service, which they likely didn’t need to do.
The drivers license thing is likely due to a law passed by the UK a few days ago requires all mature content to be behind an age check. And not a “Are you 18: Yes / No”, more like “we will check using ID and photos of you”.
It’s the most hated piece of legislation in a while, with already 100 000 petition votes in 3 days to repeal it.
I don’t think he’s necessarily the inventor of the computer. There are a few possible candidates, including Ada Lovelace or Charles Babbage, who were earlier.

- They hallucinate like they’re on drugs
- They repeat whatever they’ve seen on the internet
- They are easily maniuplated
- They have never thought about a single thing in their lives
Ergo, they cannot and will not ever discover anything new.
Wow. I thought only the right had conspiracy theorists.
Chat, is this real?
