Sample size of 1 is not indicative of anything.
I think it greatly depends on where you live.
Post your location and I’m sure people will be quick to point out how overtly racist your area is, which is probably why people are too afraid to speak out.
Yes they have comparable CPUs from Zhaoxin, which is joint owned by VIA and Chinese government.
Russia also has Baikal.

I’ll take stories like this over the usual stuff any day.
F-Droid not being trusted. They build and sign a developer’s code on their behalf, so there is a chance for injection there.
There are reproducible builds, but I would argue it’s not taken seriously enough. Like right now nobody is publicly verifying Signal’s supposed reproducible Android builds and they’ve historically had problems keeping it working.
Also how most (or all?) Play Store apps (including FOSS) contain proprietary code.
I assumed the topic was more about online privacy.
You can use your own builds of Signal (or preferably Molly-FOSS) including a self-hosted server. You can bring your own push notification as well.
To be fair there’s lots of power-tripping mods on lemmy as well, often using their colorful interpretations of subjective rules/terms to suppress opinions they don’t like.
I will go one step further and say 1. most strong opinions are not based on deep knowledge, and 2. a lot of this drama is legitimate mental illness… a niche of a niche that by design is run by extremely paranoid people, often aren’t all there in the head, or you could say they have simply crossed over the fine line of genius.
better direction for what?
All services do eventually shut down, possibly moreso for higher privacy services, you might just disagree on when.

Maybe it only works for some people.
it’s not a bug and it’s still not possible, it’s for tracking who created the account of course.
Maybe, but if anything bad happens to originate from that number, the port history is still visible and now they have a suspect.
any carrier within range can still potentially track you, maybe not with airplane mode but Snowden says don’t trust that
GPS still “works” without any signal, service or net access

For max privacy without going completely analog you’d want a device with NO cellular radio at all
tor isn’t email or phone
The problem is not everyone agrees on what exactly “editorialized” and “credible” means. You’re making the same arguments they would make against you.
My understanding is that he was not “charged with terrorism”, but NY has a provision where they can use terrorist-like criteria as one of the ways a person can be charged with first-degree murder instead of something lesser.
