First heard about this a few hears ago- apparently it’s got Wayland support now, including for tiling WMs like sway? Thats super impressive, I’m gonna see if I can get it set up and running real quick because I just gave up on remote access on Sway when I last tried to check out the options.

Solid-State Disk Drive, it’s a regular hard drive with the platters hot-glued to stay still

Samsung and others OEMs have little incentive to collaborate with privacy-oriented roms because a large part of their business models depend on the surveillance baked into their technology. They’re only interested in security as far as it frees them from liability, or can be used as worthwhile PR. They might not be based out of the US or China, but they do still operate in said countries and are all too happy to comply with data or unlock requests.

I mean compared to some elements of windows, yeah Linux is more similar to macos. But compared to other elements of macos, Linux is more similar to windows. But to say it’s super similar to either one in particular is kind of missing what makes each of them what they are.

Macos and Linux skills and fluency aren’t significantly more transferable than between Linux and Windows. They’re three pieces of software that ultimately try to do the same thing, but go about it in drastically different ways. There are only so many ways from your house to the grocery store, so some of them are bound to cross.

I mean, that’s kind of a whole separate thing. An account in a mobile food ordering app is significantly less invasive than an account on your whole entire operating system- like, laughably so.

Never mind that one is on your mobile device, which is an incredibly invasive surveillance device as-is for all except those with enough dedication and paranoia. Conversely, a desktop is at least conceptually much more practical to harden for privacy.

For what it’s worth I guess, I do not use mobile food ordering applications or accounts.

I mean, the phrase ‘sane defaults’ comes to mind

I mean, yeah like another user said, ideally it would be in the interest of groups which allege to have am interest in some form of democracy. But additionally, the ability to set up browsable partial mirrors which could be hosted by miscellaneous nonprofits and individuals both within and outside of the US would be a massive first step to preserving the information that IA stores. The fact that attacks on their servers can eradicate all access to the information they store is troubling given how many enemies they’ve made simply through the work they do.

I love the IA but they need to be infinitely more decentralized like yesterday

I mean yeah, but for a lot of people if they ditch their phone they’ll also lose their job and possibly relationships they value.

Cell phones spying on people isn’t good, but most people are simply not informed about how invasive they are and couldn’t make an informed decision if they tried. Pair that with the fact that cell phones are essential for a lot of modern life, and it’s not difficult to see why the average person is generally more wary of smart speakers than cell phones.

Phones are at least easier to justify since everyone kinda needs one now and there aren’t many great private options, especially for the lay person
