It's not enough to #protest, but we as #TechLiterates need to actively #sabotage #Cyberfascism by hosting #CryptoParties and handing out #Tails on #USB - #Flashdrives to anyone asking (or at least running #CopyParties)...

• Cuz if we don't we'll allow #Cyberfascists to rule!
  • So we'll have to spread #TechLiteracy and enable the "#Normies" to actively resist and refuse to comply!

@dw_innovation @torproject I wounder if anyone else thought about some good "#Homepage, but on the #Tor network" ?

• Cuz I do have a curated list of bona-fide sites that are available as #OnionService|s and certainly we need more "#TechIlliterates" and #Normies to use #TorBrowser for said bona-fide activities more...

"GrapheneOS chose their requirements and they can happily design their own platform instead."

There's no need to reinvent the wheel. AOSP is a secure, open-source platform that has been around for almost 20 years. I don't want to debate rumors that Google wants to make AOSP proprietary because there is no evidence to support this, especially since it would not benefit them in any way.

"I just think that their stubbornness"

It's not stubborness and I explained why.

"They are the antithesis to #Tails when it comes to #UserFriendly-ness and approachability for #Normies and #TechIlliterates

It's probably the first time I've seen “Tails” and “Normie” in the same sentence, It's not that Tails is difficult to use, but I'm really not sure that many “normies” use it or even know it exists. The user experience on GrapheneOS is almost identical to Pixel OS, the standard operating system for Google Pixel devices, so using GrapheneOS is likely to seem much simpler and familiar to normies, as they will already be used to it.

"Espechally since the problems woth #MobilePhones and the underlying technology ain't fixable with an #AndroidROM

GrapheneOS is not a ROM, Pixel OS is not a ROM, and LineageOS is not a ROM either, theses operating systems are not ROMs.

"Instead we need to foster a #SecurityCulture and proper #ITsec, #InfoSec, #OpSec & #comsec

Indeed, and what GrapheneOS does about security is completely appropriate, including informing people and giving them good advice.

"Otherwise we'll see them fail the same way @signalapp did, which is eitger getting shut down (#EncroChat-style) or being uncovered as a controlled opposition / honeypot (like #ANØM aka. #OperationIronside aka. #OperationTrøjanShield)…"

Signal did not fail, and mentioning Encrochat, ANON, and honeypots in the same sentence is irrelevant. These things have absolutely nothing in common with Signal, you seem to be believing made-up stories.

@Xtreix well, @GrapheneOS chose their requirements and they can happily design their own platform instead.

• I just think that their stubbornness makes them look like Stallmanist extremists to the point of being unbearable cringe and completely loosing the plot.
  • They are the antithesis to #Tails when it comes to #UserFriendly-ness and approachability for #Normies and #TechIlliterates.

To the point that it's cheaper to go black/red and teach that to people, even at the risk of inconvenience.

• I mean, in many juristictions one will have to do so anyway, but that's not tue point here…

I think #GrapheneOS prefer to "die on their hill" of "moral superiority" than fave the reality that 99% of people can't and won't blow $500 - $1000+ on a phone when any half-decent Netbook with @tails_live , @torproject and #4G or #5G modem can do the same.

• Espechally since the problems woth #MobilePhones and the underlying technology ain't fixable with an #Android-ROM.
  • Instead we need to foster a #SecurityCulture and proper #ITsec, #InfoSec, #OpSec & #ComSec.

Otherwise we'll see them fail the same way @signalapp did, which is eitger getting shut down (#EncroChat-style) or being uncovered as a controlled opposition / honeypot (like #ANØM aka. #OperationIronside aka. #OperationTrøjanShield)…

Burger King will put a command line interface on its employees in Quebec.

In 50 years, we went from teaching #techies how to command machines to teaching machines how to command #normies.

#tech #AI #BoycottBurgerKing

>> #BurgerKing employees in #Quebec will soon be monitored by #ArtificialIntelligence that will listen to their conversations & give them orders

>> … The technology, developed by #OpenAI, is already implemented in some 500 restaurants in #US

@Eichi @Lycoris Ich migriere #Normies einfach auf #UbuntuLTS und wer was anderes braucht ist eh geskilled genug das selbst zu machen.

• Funktionert einfach…

@the_moep @randahl @osma @fuchsiii Granted, that doesn't do #Backups, #Restore, deliver a sound configuration you can expose to the #Internet nor prevents bad actors from hammering your instance...

• Also this shouldn't be a necessity. Most people don't #SelfHost their #eMail, and that is way less complex than #Mastodon...

We may feel comfortable #SelfHosting but 99,99% of the "#Normies" who are so #TechIlliterate they'd only think of #Docker as in LifeInvader "Dock" from GTA5 or think of something else with shipping.

@stman @PrivacyDigest @theruran @50htz @vidak @forthy42 @oceane OFC the only way to "#deshittify" (IF we consider this possible!) is to turn #Users into #Operators (or at least Co-Owners!) instead of mere #consumers.

• But this falls completely flat on it's face when society is #TechIlliterate by 99,99% and if you were to ask some #TechIlliterates aka. "#Normies" on the street they'd internally bluescreen or completely shut off mid-sentence as they lack the absolute fundamentals to understand it.

Kinda like if you want to discuss with a 5th grader who isn't interested in electronics why #Ethernet is nit a good standard and that it only succeeded against #TokenRing due to cheap, mass produced parts & components.

• Because neither do they have the knowledge nor give a shit about these problems because their attention span doesn't exceed a #TikTok video!
