But how do you install F-Droid after, say, a factory reset because you had to troubleshoot something?

But this is not the only aspect of Google’s autocratization; Apps who’s developers have enabled the Google Play Integrity APIs will not run on custom roms.

So you can’t use banking apps, or you mean like you cant even use F-Droid FOSS apps at all?

I personally don’t know how a non-smartphone is better is terms of privacy. Can you explain?

AFAIK, they have the same level of spying, just more restrictions and less features.

Purism is sketchy btw:

(Louis Rossman videos explaining how a customer was denied a refund for a “pre-order” and then they tried to coerce Louis to take down the video.)

Edit: typo

For contacts I kinda get it.

You could have eye conditions that make you unsuitable to use contacts.

For glasses, its absolute bullshit.

An “incorrect” lens placed on the exterior of your face will not harm you (other than making you a bit dizzy).

You can just go online and buy them, they don’t care about “expired” prescriptions, they only need the numbers.

The solution is UBI

The problem isnt “robots replacing humans”

The problem is: WHERE THE FUCK IS OUR UBI?

Bro that is so gonna get HitchBot’ed

a photo was tweeted, showing that the robot had been stripped “beyond repair” and decapitated in Philadelphia. The robot was located by some people following its progress on its website. The head was never found.

Also, like… if you wanna replace human workers, fine, just give us the UBI.

Otherwise, riots would be justified.

Do they resolve thepiratebay[dot]org?

POV, you’re the main character of Dark Matter and you’re trippin’ in the magic box-portal to the multiverse.

Looks like an AI’s failed attempt to generate an image of a house lol

They’ll reverse the decision when those teens start saying “Stop Genocide” on social media.

100% guaranteed.

I mean with physical access.

People living with you.

Or when you want to travel (domestically).

Someone who doesn’t need much experience can access the hard drive / SSD and replace the bootloader.

I know it probably doesn’t happen often, but this is more of a personal fear thing, I have trust issues with people.

Living alone is too expensive and thus I either have to stick with family, or split rent with random strangers as roommates, not to mention, some landlords can be creepy and do weird things. I don’t have trusted friends who can like live with me as a roomate and split the rent.

So anyways, I’m with parents, and I want evil-maid protections for peace of mind, since I can’t afford to live alone. (I mean like they are not dangerous criminals or anything like that, they’re just fucking nosey and I don’t like to find out how much do they want to spy on my online activities).

For phones, its already too locked-down and hard to modify so I’ll just trust the verified boot to do it’s job.

For computers, its too easy to edit the bootloader on the disk. So I think putting the botloader on such an encrypted USB and put it in read-only mode would protect against tampering with the bootloader.

I probably sound paranoid af right?

Basically, my threat model prioritizes preventing weirdos fucking with my electronics more than anyone else.

I was thinking more of like a Tamper-Resistant Boot Drive with a computer being Full Disk Encrypted, And I basically phisically carve my signature into the Hardware-Encrypted drive and always check to make sure its mine and that it hasn’t been replaced, then I unlock it in Read-Only mode, then I plug into a computer to select the bootloader on the USB drive to turn on the computer.

Basically its a Evil-Maid-Resistant setup.

Of course, someone with actual NSA or FSB skills are gonna get in, but its just so the average script-kiddie can’t just download some tampered bootloader online and easily replace the bootloader.

And also I can store like a Linux Distro and Windows installation media on there and know its its much more difficult to tamper with.

Does this work against the threat?

Not sure if a mobile device have that type of processing power lol

USA never even gave their court the power to strike laws down, its just a precedent, and precedents aren’t the constitution.

Besides, all it takes is 50 senators, and the senstors on the side that supports fascism represents people than their opposition. California has the same population as like 20+ republican states, but the those 20+ states have 20 times more senators.

The court is biased and favors the far-right.

The lesson is not “all constitutions are bad”, its “The Framers of the US Constitution sucked at their job or didn’t want a real fair constitution at all”
