Explicate the inexorable, fucker.
I’m always curious whether using privacy software somehow marks us as higher value targets such that what metadata we do end up leaking is given disproportionate focus for advertisers and whatnot. Joke’s on them: I’m using the foolproof technique of strategic poverty.
I highly value privacy, but the gap between local LLMs vs top of the line cloud LLMs (e.g. Claude & DeepSeek) is still too great for me to switch completely to the former.
I’ll use PWAs to sandbox LLMs from everything else (and each other) and try to create semantic distance between the user and the queries.
How about that leaked Claude source code? Is there a reliably clean version of that available anywhere yet?

¿Is there data supporting this conclusion?

Btw: The Plexus app rates app functionality in both Degoogled (owner) and microG (sandboxed Google) profiles.
FYI tho: it DOESN’T report how FOSS or privacy respecting the apps are.
YSK: Plexus doesn’t rate itself. 😳
Noob here. I can never find the apks on github. Anyone able to teach me to fish? 😟
Edit: Another step further from noobliness. Thx community, very friendly & helpful. ☺️
Since they’re law enforcement I interpreted the report as them preparing for the worst possible outcomes given upcoming tech, and then escalating in response to that.
I use a period tracker to identify file extensions.
Nice try officer.
At the limit though they’d have to pay every coder with an interest in that software’s development and enough time for a hobby. I guess they could target distribution like Codeberg but alternatives would eventually fill their place.
Like a locked bootloader and bloat.
Oh snap, I misread it as Motorola bought GrapheneOS! This is way better news than I realized! Thx for the clarification. 🫡
Edit: On reflection can FOSS even be bought since it doesn’t have an owner to pay? I’m caught up now.
A question isn’t an assumption. It’s possible to hold an idea in one’s head without immediately accepting or rejecting it. I also don’t see any problem with planning ahead. Why are you assuming I’m a dude?
Different tense. I wasn’t using it in the privacy hardened sense.
Just realized it refers to the same thing both ways. GrapheneOS is user-side hardened whereas iOS is producer-side hardened.
I was wondering if they’d require that new REAL ID versus the older (and cheaper) State ID, but from what I can tell it’ll just involve a user-declared age to preserve privacy. At least initially.
What’s the likelihood that Motorola will eventually lock down GrapheneOS though? Imho it’d be a bad move if they did. The FOSS mobile OS community has matured to the point that we don’t need to rely on for-profit monoliths any more. Motorola would be smart to lead the way to where the mobile device economy will be.
Are you saying, “Hello Moto?”
You can always add widgets if you want something to break up the gridded icons. 🫡 Welcome to the fam.
I did the same: sat on a lot of these resource alternatives to prep for the transition. Turns out these are just proofs of concept and there are soo many more alternatives out there, including use cases that the big guys don’t create for. It becomes as simple as searching forums or asking ai for a “genuinely foss, privacy-respecting app compatible with GrapheneOS that does x.”
