  • Dont use "stable" software people.

    Gimp 3 is already very nice! Use it exclusively.

  • I think 3a is already too old. I think 4a is a better minimum, but this is still insecure of course.

  • All Android phones have Google malware installed by default, as system apps, which means those apps can do whatever they want.

    So every piece of data you put on there is possibly tracked and collected.

    Then there are 2 more problems

    • the software is proprietary and cannot be externally wiped clean
    • the software is outdated

    This makes it vulnerable to Pegasus attacks and others. There are tons of secure practices to avoid getting it, like LTE-only, HTTPS only, encrypted and trustworthy DNS, sandboxed processes, blocked javascript execution from unknown websites...

    But still if the phone is outdated there are unpatched and publicly known security issues. Just spamming them at all phones is likely to succeed as so many people run vulnerable versions, as vendors suck.

    Then if you have pegasus, the only way for security is to reflash the A/B partitions, both. Factory reset is not secure as it will keep what is already in the system partitions.

    The firmware is protected and signed by the vendors, so it is likely clean.

    But Pegasus installs itself to the phone storage.

    If you A cant obtain factory images or B cant flash the phone at all, you cannot wipe it clean.

    So a good activism phone needs

    • trustworthy and minimal system apps / stock software
    • modern software updates
    • possible to reflash whole device externally
    • nice to have: ability to verify checksum of system partition, like GrapheneOS Attestation

    This makes them poorly pretty expensive. I think a slightly outdated GrapheneOS phone is okay though.

  • Burner phones are a strange concept. If you want to store sensitive data on it, you shouldnt use some cheap android phone or even a dumbphone without encryption support.

  • I am not using Mint and it is also in the Fedora repos, but there is no reason for it to not be on Flathub. Maybe when I find the time I try to package it.

  • For some reason it is not yet on Flathub

  • They had this on their homepage, advertizing QKSMS and Bromite as if they were project apps. Which they are not.

    So either A: they preinstall apps as system apps or B: they have some form of installer that installs them as normal user apps.

    You should have as many apps as user apps as possible.

    Maybe they changes this idk. But QKSMS is not a simple SMS app like the one that GrapheneOS implements (the old and hardly maintained AOSP one) and Bromite is an unmaintained Browser which is a huge problem. Cromite and Quik are maintained forks.

    Some Archive when they still had Bromite on their page

    Could not find QKSMS but that was somewhere

  • Ich warte auf den digitalen Euro. Bisher fast nur Visakarte, einfach weil ich nicht jedes mal durch mehrere Websites gehen muss, die teilweise Redirects benutzen die meine Browser (Librewolf, Mull) blockieren etc.

  • Zwei Seiten

    1. Oh mein Gott, das verwenden echt sau viele Leute. Ja... ist wohl gut dass sie das tun.
    2. Das nimmt Ressourcen, und es gibt etliche bessere Medien. "X" und Instagram als Alternativen sind ein Witz. Ein einfacher, kurzer RSS Feed oder Mastodon/Lemmy Account würde allen Menschen den Zugriff ermöglichen
  • And afaik not on Flathub...

  • (Feddit just started working again)

    CalyxOS implements many random 3rd party stuff as if that was their own.

    Apart from 2 (QKSMS and Bromite) being unmaintained, installing random apps as system apps (if this is what they do) means a system update may cause data loss for users, when removing those apps. And it has the problem of a way too high goal that can not be reached. They simply dont maintain those apps, so dont ship them.

  • Du hast Kreck vergessen, die Kiffer die müssen ja jetzt ausweichen weil jetzt alle immer umsonst in Kindergärten kiffen können und nix mehr merken!

  • Ist eine Verdampferpfeife ;D punkt 6

    Glühbirnen haben manchmal quecksilber drin oder sowas, um eventuelles UV licht in sichtbares Licht umzuwandeln.

  • Okeeee aber was hälst du davon?

    • sau dumm
    • aus nicht haltbarem Speckstein
    • sau schwer
    • wird auch mit nem Propanfeuerzeug betrieben
    • keine Ahnung wann man fertig gedampft hat (aber bleibt kühl und verbrennt nicht)
    • braucht ne Ablage wenn sie heiß wird
    • sieht kühl aus
    • schmeckt nach Holz

    (erstellt mit unfreier Software "Gridart" die am wenigsten müllig ist, keine einzige unterstützt das share-portal oder foto-portal)

  • Typische Geringverdiener Aussage

    /s

  • Rauchen ist trotzdem ekelig. Lass dampfen!

    Kann den Arizer Go empfehlen:
