If you're going to do this, buy a Pixel so you can have the bare minimum in secure hardware. And consider GrapheneOS.

Carrier unlocked Pixel 3+ on Swappa.com, GrapheneOS.org. Web install takes moments these days, can be done by any 8th grader with a GrapheneOS phone, or PC with any major browser and a USB C cable.

Do these phones even have boot security?

Google privacy is 0%, security is high 90s%

Not giving money to Google if you buy used. Also, not weird in the context of Google actively maintaining their position as a a top security firm these days, with Project Zero.

You'd better trust them with your metadata, unless I'm misunderstanding their protocol.

Same with GitHub. Any Git opening will do, for private cloning.

These seem like the main added-values.

Just a few days ago, I saw their promotions on their page offering a bit of new coins to learn more about their specific utility and technology behind them. I dunno.

"Represent" in the public and media mind share. What the technology actually is capable of, and is doing today, these are different things.

So basically the consumer tech hasn't yet caught up with the technology, is what you're saying? Once there are enough people buying and selling for cash, you'll just need to find an old payphone, or some other known meeting p

At what stage does everyone consider a society complicit in its governments actions, through inaction? Traveling Americans have historically been held accountable, sometimes fatally, for the actions of their Elite. Curious if any traveling

Purism can "look into" whatever - they're going to be playing catch up until they have serious security researchers. I used to be enamored by Purism publications until I saw GrapheneOS.org.

Damn. I figured the CCTV would at least knock crime down a little. Afraid to ask what kind of crime happens in places without cameras - those that exist.

I mean, it certainly beats the boat ride to America, but, have to say it's starting to feel like neither ended up being the place to be.

> You gotta be kidding me. Facebook is a multi-billion dollar corporation. Just make them do it. Their legal departments will figure it out. And then there's no site that can ever compete with their ability to do the compliance depa

If a phone runs the Linux kernel, and are hit with one of dozens and dozens of known unpatched exploits, and has no boot security to detect such, expect your hardware switches to be useless when faced with any motivated attacker. Librem 5 s

Ah, right - the "who needs security and privacy - we're building things so fast!" crowd.

Sorry for the pedantry: It will prevent live cellular tracking, it will not prevent malicious apps or libraries from vacuuming your Bluetooth, WiFi, GPS, barometric pressure, or whatever else you've given permissions to a trusted app t

Hardware kill switches, if you don't trust your stack, just means you're moving the exfiltration time to after you've turned the switch back on.

Correct. Burners are a stopgap from a lower tier threat at best. Which can still have a lot of value, I suppose.

And will continue to. Event-based, surprise inflation is the only negative inflation, for the end user.

An app that recreates party lines on POTS burning through battery is unfortunately unsurprising!

What's the Russian mob's next big play, then, Cartel? Reading cryptocurrency whitepapers, or selling CRISPR service out of the back of a truck? The fact that people still fall for this shit, on both sides of the table, is depressi
