Between forced bloat, Bixby and faking the moon, Samsung has lost my respect as a smartphone manufacturer.

nodsocket ,

So it’s AT&T that does this and not Samsung?

nodsocket ,

I agree, there is a noticeable difference between those who went into tech for $$$ and those who are passionate about it.

nodsocket ,

No it does not work with android auto. Sorry

nodsocket ,

I have used GrapheneOS for years now and it’s absolutely great as a daily driver. Very few apps malfunction and you can even use Google play store if you want. Updates are very frequent and Android OS updates usually release even faster than Google

nodsocket ,

Yeah those three things by themselves are worth switching for. Add to that the great security features and it’s basically the ideal smartphone.

GrapheneOS only has support for OEM unlocked Google Pixel phones, and it runs pretty much perfectly on every device it supports. It is extremely easy to install, no rooting required. You just click buttons in a web browser while your phone is plugged in and there’s pretty much 0% chance of breaking anything.

You’re supposed to buy a phone specifically to run GrapheneOS. This isn’t a ROM that you can swap onto any device, it’s native to a specific platform. Also, using GrapheneOS does NOT void the warranty, you can always switch back to stock Android with Google’s web installer.

nodsocket ,

Yeah the biggest downside is that you have to buy a device specifically to use GrapheneOS. It’s definitely worth it though.

nodsocket ,

Understandable. I tried to use Jerboa too but it just has too many bugs right now.

I wonder if Apple will set up surgical operation rooms at the Apple Store when the iBrainchip comes out. /s

I don’t think it was a cover. They could have just sent a subpoena for the data if it was hosted in the US.

One easy way to prove that the AI is racist is whether race is one of its parameters. However, it is possible for an AI to be racist even without an explicit parameter.

What you thought that paying money would take away the ads?! (Laughs in profit)

How to make android more Private?

What are everyone’s recommendations on making android more private? Given Google’s recent behavior around tracking and the like, I’m not really comfortable with then having all of my data. I’ve even contemplated going to iOS, since apple doesn’t have a vested interest in me having less privacy… But I just don’t...

nodsocket ,

This is a very informative post, thanks for sharing. Although Signal is still way better than SMS and probably also closed source apps like WhatsApp, the leakage of metadata on a centralized server is a problem that needs to be addressed.

That being said, there is some evidence that Signal isn’t collecting metadata based on the fact that it has published its responses to subpoenas and did not provide that information.

nodsocket OP ,

I think you hit the nail on the head there. In fact one of the biggest sources of economic value for networks like Lemmy and Reddit is the free labor people are willing to do out of passion for the community.

Do you use all your self hosted services? Are there any you found to be not worth it after installing?

I’ve always been conservative about what kind of services I host because it takes time to get them set up. For example, there’s no reason for me to set up music streaming when I only ever listen to music on my phone and all my music files are already on my phone. On the other hand, it’s a good learning opportunity to set...

How many users here do you think are going to get bored and end up back on Reddit as soon as the blackout ends?

I don’t mean to be pessimistic, bit since most subreddits are only going dark for a couple days, the site will basically be back to normal soon. I wonder how many users here are only here because of temporary outrage and not because they actually prefer Lemmy. I’m curious about people’s outlook on this situation....

Email is the oldest Federated service.

I was struggling to wrap my head around how federated social media works until I realized that email has basically been doing the same thing for 30 years. Different email servers are like instances of a federated network. You can send emails to people from within a single server or you can send emails to people on any other mail...

nodsocket OP ,

Absolutely. Now we’re stuck using a protocol that has zero encryption because decades ago no one thought about that. All our private correspondence is readable by every ISP and government it passes. If only we could make an email 2.0…

nodsocket OP ,

Adopting a consistent way to do it that everyone agrees on is the hardest part. PGP works but you have to make it easy and integrate it with all the top email providers so that most people are using it without even noticing.

I remember reading about when Google ended the Nexus line and started doing the pixels. It feels like yesterday that was a new phone.
