SahwaGrapheneOS refuses to comply with new age verification laws for operating systems — group says it will never require personal information
voluble“If GrapheneOS devices can’t be sold in a region due to their regulations, so be it.”
Wonder if Motorola feels the same way.
They can just sell their normal phone. As long as the user is able to run the installer it doesn’t really matter.
If you can’t open a windows computer, connect an android phone to it, and use a simple UI tool you’re probably not capable of actually privacy.
This isn’t me being elitist its just the fact that the resources needed to make this shit viable and easy are being tied up to corporations in order to make more corporate spyware.
Privacy under fascism takes time, effort, and education.
tabularWhat else can those those value privacy and have computer skills do but try to be a good example and offer to help to those around them without the know-how?
Agreed, but teaching them the skills to do it themselves is better than doing the process for them.
Look at the teacher over here with the sensible opinions about teaching people to fish …

You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it drink.
If someone is too lazy to put privacy over convenience that’s kind of their gig. It sucks but like I can’t fuckin’ change their minds.
Big tech has their claws deep into education and I don’t see that changing. Parts of the world see school shootings happem, a more obvious problem than lack of software freedom, but do not think that’s bad enough to change. Having children right now may be unfortunate.
I’ve already distanced myself by deleted most (big-tech) social media platforms. Currently trying to ditch Discord but I don’t see friends do the same. Stopping now may look like a good idea but the ick would remain.
When things really matter all we have is words or violence. I have no choice but to hope that good ideas win in the end, and that the world improves over time. Just be the best you can.
Yeah I’m trying to leverage my homelab for my friends that can’t set one up just to make things even slightly better.
Ultimately there’s only so much you can do to fight fascism.
