Fwiw I have had no issue creating multiple Reddit accounts. I use vanadium on graphene os with always on VPN to access

IP address, cookies, tracking pixels, browser fingerprinting, device identifiers used by apps, advertising in apps

I don’t think they will ever make a profit from the AI products. I think that they will build until the bubble bursts and then get bailouts from governments because the companies are “too big to fail”. Microsoft, Google and AWS can’t go down without taking down the internet as it currently exists

Because it lies. Language generators generate language, even if it’s BS. It will say a source says something it does not. It will make up sources whole cloth. It is reliable at parsing informant you provide, otherwise it’s not trustworthy at all

If you have info about someone getting a graphene phone to turn the USB back on, please share as I’d like to read about it.

I don’t think saying the state can torture us for info is a phone security issue per se. Especially since the only way to avoid imperial state violence is to shut up and do nothing and hope they don’t come for you anyway

Yeah tails does have graphene beat, but a lot of folks see a phone as a necessity. Graphene is best if you’re gonna have a phone. It can turn off the USB port where it can’t even be charged without being off. It can reboot itself if not unlocked frequently enough, putting the phone back into a BFU state.

Now it’s possible that there’s some exploit a state knows that is not public, but the software they generally use does not work on graphene as long as you are not running a pre-2022 version of graphene. Someone else mentioned rubber-hose cryptanalysis, but like if I’m getting beat for my unlock, then what do I care about getting charged with destruction of evidence?

In custody, your phone will be hacked when it is taken away if it’s important.

Unless I turned off the USB port…

My employer sent out a division wide email about undefined impacts in Eurasia and the availability of employee assistance resources available worldwide… without mentioning the war or what impacts were meant other than the very broad region of Eurasia

How will this affect enterprise systems with remote installs or ramdisks?

If you don’t wanna use a pixel, just build it. It’s open source ¯_(ツ)_/¯

PS: I’m leaning towards “don’t say anything you wouldn’t in a court of law” model these days. If its online - and you don’t own the infra - there’s always a risk.

You should assume everything you say online is being captured by govts. Encrypt everything you can, use a no log VPN not based in 15 eyes, use OS and browser with sandboxes/containers
