Maybe people also don't really process or understand their emotions when the phone is available. If you always have your phone to entertain you (play music, scroll on instagram etc.), then you don't give yourself time to reflect o

No wonder people use GitHub even if it scans your repos. If a service is unreliable, why bother?

The reality I think is, the average user probably doesn't care about snappyness as long as it is not too bothersome. The path of least resistance is opening the webmail (no setup required).

I disagree. You can‘t keep data away from others when it isn‘t safe. Security doesn‘t necessarily imply privacy (as demonstrated by your argument), but making something private is impossible without making it secure. How can you hide someth

It doesn‘t. I think it‘s clear that this only is a problem when using accounts associated with you.

Yes that is possible, but not with setup described.

> Well yeah, welcome to the modern smartphone era. Those protections are useless or counter-productive because the base ROM has already spyware backed into it. If you assume this to be correct, then there's no point in attempting to

If you can't trust your OS, trying to anonymize it is useless. Verified boot doesn't prevent you cleaning up the device. Modern android phones have wonderfully sophisticated per-file disk encryption. In pixels, the decryption key

An unlocked bootloader makes the phone vastly more insecure (see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35790499 ). Phone firmware cannot be fully open-source nowadays due to manufacturer restrictions. Even the most open-sourc

An unlocked bootloader disables verified Boot, which makes your phone vulnerable to rollback attacks. In doing so, it also disables integrity checks, thus making persistence (even without rollback) a lot easier for a potential attacker. So

GrapheneOS alreasy has such a permission. I use it for Apps that shouldn't require internet access, like my keyboard.

by zgk7iqea 3y ago
Apps can circumvent these ”firewalls” quite easily via IPC/Intents. For example, if you block facebook with a firewall, it can still send an intent to the download manager to make network connections. (see https://madaidans-

Unfortunately, Firefox‘s security on Android is .. not the best ( https://madaidans-insecurities.github.io/firefox-chromium.ht... )

by zgk7iqea 3y ago
So in summary: - you unlocked your bootloader w/o re-locking it again → insecure - you used a phone that doesn‘t receive OEM updates anymore → insecure - you use firefox over tor: no sandbox, very unique fingerprint - all of the device

Because of the minimal standard library, the ecosystem is fractured into crates (similar to npm). Also, rust forces you to actually model the complexity of the real world. I think the best example for this are the various string types. Ther

I'm all in for allowing alternate OSes, don't get me wrong :). I'm just saying that for most people it's a bad idea, especially regarding Linux. Linux's security is abysmal because the desktop security model is fund

Linux on mobile is a major step back both in terms of security and usability. Modern smartphone App Sandboxes are immensely better than desktop paradigms. Sideloading should be allowed, tho.
