Did you expect the lone developer of kbin to give you a good back rub too?
11·7 months agoThat’s unfortunate. However, to say “they don’t federate” is still fake news. They do, just not like Mastodon does.
Is there a feature request for PT to rectify this?
Not sure what you’re trying to point out. I responded to somebody saying it’s not possible to relock other phones…
Google Pixel 8 costs 600€-900€…
I’ve relocked 3 different phones from Samsung, Nexus (was that the old pixel? dunno), and OnePlus 🤷♂️ Maybe it’s because they were old (<2020) ? No idea.
Hmm… is your data worth 300€ every 3-4 years? This would indicate not. There are probably other sources, but 100€/year for your data = ~8€/month for your data. I’d find that hard to believe, but will gladly be proven otherwise.
In any case, even if it were > 100€/year, giving them that amount is like a present despite trying to degoogle yourself.
After snowden, probably true.

You can follow other instances in peertube as user, but it’s not straight forward. You have to copy-paste the link of the user, video, or channel in the search bar, then follow. It’s a bizarre way of doing things and mastodon has something similar too.
TL;DR Unless you’re being persecuted, I’d say the most important criteria is picking a modern phone actively supported by a ROM. Samsung, OnePlus, LG, FairPhone, … they’re all fine.
What’s your threat model? Most likely, if you’re just a normal dude, the most you’ll have to fear is someone stealing your phone and trying to replace the OS on the phone. Probably every modern Android phone protects against that with secure boot. If somebody wants to read your data, IINM every modern Android phone has encryption activated by default meaning so do modern ROMs.
If you have somebody knowledgeable enough to start attacking your phone by opening it and messing with hardware, you’ve got an entirely different problem and if they want to get in, they will. Either physically through you (a wrench can reveal your password), a 0-day (iPhones were hacked through iMessage by text messages the user never saw aka zero click), or through some yet unrevealed vulnerability if you’re that important.

Just keep clicking through those pages and you’ll see they federated. How come none of you bothered to even check out the instances themselves? This is why fake news spreads…
I believe the devs of GrapheneOS have tailored their requirements to target Google Pixel phones for one simple reason: there aren’t enough devs to help them support other phones. They probably owned Pixels and started development on them, got specialized in them and didn’t want to branch out as that costs lots of time.
There’s nothing wrong with that. The only issue I find with their reasoning is all the claims they make of Google Pixels being the only secure Android phones in existence. It’s detrimental because non-techies will just repeat that to death because they don’t know better - just like Appholes repeating that iPhones are the most secure phones out there and Apple cares about privacy. It’s free advertisement for Google. So people head out and give Google more money than their data would ever be worth and they do it repeatedly every few years because it’s “common knowledge” that Google Pixels are the most secure phones out there.
The worst thing about that is that Google didn’t have to do anything. Had Google made those claims, people would be wary, but this is an independent group and because of that, people give it credence.
Not saying GrapheneOS is a shit project - it definitely isn’t, just the claims and free advertisement these devs are giving Google is bad.
CalyxOS
wat? that’s not true. I did that with my other android phones that have lineageos on it.
Isn’t there a subreddit devoted to alternatives where gab is listed as the top option? I don’t have much faith in the ability of reddit users to listen nor choose alternatives.
Edit: I was wrong. gab isn’t on the list anymore.
