I don't use Arch , btw

  • No, thanks

  • Beside Lemmy , what other options are available for them?

  • Thanks for making me laugh

  • CalyxOS , though updates are temporarily paused for unknown period , you can get Fairphone 4 or Fairphone 5 , if privacy is your main concern and you don't mind downgrading

  • Thank you, I've tried it before, but it still has some restrictions like extensions , in my experience I didn't notice a difference as I don't use a lot of extensions, but I still prefer to stay away from anything that Microsoft put limitations on , even if it doesn't affect me now, it might later

  • Thank you, I'll take your notes into consideration , currently it's just learning C , I use Code::Block for it

  • Thank you, I didn't mean I'll rush and install all of the mentioned things in the post, but it motivates me to learn

    actually I have two problems: 1- I don't know where to start 2- I'm too lazdy to search for resources so I start

    And please don't mention that VS code piece of shit in front of me even as an example, I can only use Windows as OS , one product by Microsoft is enough to tortue me

  • I have been so lazy when it comes to learn emacs and vim, but this sounds interesting enough as a start

  • Honestly? even if we succeed in this , Google will simply fuck things up in something else, the only real solution is that it completely looses people acceptnace , and that's the hardest part because the majority don't think about changing things if it's comfortable enough

  • Thank you

  • I like M3E very much , but on Chrome it sounds ugly

  • It depends on how you use your phone and what the physical attacker aims

    • if you use a custom ROM with decrypted /data partition by default and no way to encrypt it, the attacker can get access to all of your data from recovery even if you've set a lock (like password/PIN/pattern) in the ROM, but if your custom ROM is encrypted and protected with a lock, the attacker must know your password to decrypt /data partition in recovery
    • if the attacker aims to replace a part of your phone with a sus one (like a boot partition for example), he must be a developer who knows how to build things designed for your exact phone model, otherwise your phone will get bricked
    • if your phone is rooted and you give root permission to sus modules and apps, it's possible to install malware and do shady things in it without physical access

    My recommendations:

    • only use trusted ROMs
    • only use an encrypted ROM ( official LineageOS is encrypted if I'm not wrong) , encrypted ROMs are slightly slower than unencrypted ones, but safer
    • set a lock to the ROM
    • avoid giving ROOT access to untrusted modules and apps
    • (if you're paranoid) clean flash every time you update or switch ROMs, as this will replace any sus partition flashed by an attacker
    • (if you're using decrypted ROM and custom recovery) set a password to the recovery, BUT if it's orangefox make sure to remove the password before updating the recovery, otherwise you'll get troubles
  • And Vanilla ROMs users

  • For politics, anything probably, just nothing extreme like Nazism, Radicalism, etc

  • I actually stopped getting messages from them during the last 3 months ( I was inactive on Lemmy ) , so yeah maybe that's the case, or it's targeting online people whether they replyed or not

  • That's an incredible list, thank you and sorry for late reply

  • Tech , history , politics (non American) , and whatever interesting

  • Thanks for elaborating, I totally agree with you about this
