Ironically this is a security focused thread. The solution here isn’t to switch to a Linux phone, a platform that has absolutely atrocious security, especially compared to even stock iOS/Android. The only alternative that actually incr

In addition to what the other person who replied said, ignoring that iOS/Android/iPadOS is far more secure than macOS, laptops have significantly less hardware-based protections than Pixel/Samsung/Apple mobile devices do

The things that Lockdown Mode disables actually massively reduce attack surface at the expense of user experience. For example, Graphite, the spyware used by Paragon gets stopped in its tracks by Lockdown Mode as it disables link previews i

Honestly I wouldn’t put it past officials in the current environment to just (attempt to) hold someone in jail indefinitely until they decide to comply and give up their passwords.

This is a wildly unrealistic viewpoint. This would assume that you somehow know the language of the client you’re building and have total knowledge over the entire codebase and can easily spot any sort of security issues or backdoors, assum

If you're on macOS there's Code Edit as a native solution (fully open source, not VC backed, MIT licensed), but it's currently in active development: https://www.codeedit.app/ . Otherwise there's VSCodium
