    I post someone’s comment on a controversial topic about google and GOS. I saved it because that’s exactly how I feel.


    Step 1 of installing GrapheneOS for de-googling your life: Buy a Google Pixel phone

    Look - I know, I know. I get it. Google allows you to unlock the bootloader while maintaining the phone’s unique and excellent hardware security features. The argument makes sense. It is compelling. Other manufacturers do not give you this freedom. I am not arguing about that. I have a Pixel phone running GrapheneOS myself.

    However… It is just so very obviously ironic that one needs to trust Google’s hardware and purchase a Google product to de-google their life through GrapheneOS. I think that it is a perfectly valid position for someone to raise their eyebrows, laugh, and remain skeptical of the concept either because they do not want to support Google at all, or because they simply will not trust Google’s hardware.

    The reason why I think that this is “controversial” is because I have seen multiple instances of someone pointing out the irony, followed by someone getting defensive about it and making use of the technical security arguments in an attempt to patch up the irony.

  • I’m aware but why would anyone use the bleached flour? I mean are they marketed as bleached flour or are they just named white flour ?

    Shouldn’t be it the other way arround? The unbleached flour is the actual normal flour and the bleached flour should be called “bleached flour” to make people aware of the treatment? Kinda wild…

    But I digress, your cake still looks yummi and I still want to eat some ! 🥹




  • That was an interesting read and saddening at the same time. I feel so sorry for the poor guy and all other email selfhoster.

    Kind of curious here and sorry for my lack of understanding in IP stack, but isn’t IPv6 going to somehow mitigate that issue?

    Isn’t there any other protocol that actually would circumvent that censorship? Like something like I2P? Or is it impossible to forward that kind of traffic over to it?

    The internet is already a cesspool of censorship for “security” reason and it’s getting worse over time. Do you have any clue where or how we can join a community/group that somehow fights back those kind of unfair and monopoly behavior of big tech companies ?

    Thank you !




  • Hahaha… What a stupid take. Yeah scientific research isn’t biased and hasn’t been poisoned by conflict of interest… never has been and never will I guess? Scientific research is the ultimate truth of wisdom and you don’t need your own critical thinking anymore 😮‍💨 (Yeah the tobacco industry was right, smoking is healthy !)

    when the researchers themselves are saying the work isn’t over. why are all the super geniuses in this thread so smugly announcing this topic is wrapped up?

    It’s better to be safe than sorry

    Edit:

    Therefore, the fact that no evidence for large-scale mobile eavesdropping has been found so far should not be interpreted as an all-clear. It could only mean that it is difficult – under current circumstances perhaps even impossible – to detect such attacks effectively.

    Scientific enough?


  • 76 up’s / 68 down’s on OP’s post.

    It’s very close, still the majority wins, that’s how it works, if not happy change the system not the voters.

    Maybe not 24x7 but this did happened and people have reported it multiple times. If you really think those multi-billion dollars companies are not capable of or won’t do anything so sketchy because it’s not “worth it”, then it’s time to open your mind to the possibility that those companies are not your friends.

    I get your feeling :) Don’t worry the silent majority is on your side. However they won’t comment because they fear from being banned or backslashed…

    While It can’t be proven or disapproved, I also had my share of strange coincidence where my mind goes “Huh? How is that even possible?”… Kinda strange feeling! But that feeling gave me the push to the privacy route maybe in a rather to extreme direction? Always follow your guts when there’s to much noise to make a clear decision.

    • RethinkDNS (block every in/out request except those manually allowed)
    • Degoogles android (Shizuku+canta, magisk, debloater)
    • Only open source apps and delete everything else (no exceptions here) -…

    You will never get full 100% privacy or anonymity, however you can make your data as much as difficult to get and waste some of their resource and time :).

    Good luck !
