I mean, if you eat a complete breakfast, wouldn't anything you drank/ate during that be considered part of the complete breakfast? Healthy people hate that one trick.
I'm hoping for a Pixel Tablet 2 with this (Pixel Tablet doesn't have it, but the Pixel 8 does for some reason) and MTE security capability, and I'll transition to that with GrapheneOS over a laptop.
Apple has announced that its Messages app will support the RCS messaging standard in iOS 18.

This move will improve messaging between iOS and Android devices, which currently rely on the...
Yeah billy should be build IUDs not 3d printed guns
I see the /s but...The Ukraine war videos don't show how to build IEDs, though. And even if they did, who would the parents sue? Ukraine, a nation at war? As opposed to 3D printed guns show you how to make them, and you could try to sue the gun company who it belongs to. And YouTube in both cases.
we didn't do a good job transitioning from religious to secular values in that way.
A lot of religions were founded on and/or expanded by violence (Pilgrims to America, Knights Templar, Spanish Inquisition, etc), so I don't remotely think "religious to secular" is the reason.
To be fair, the Aiel didn't initially grow up there (and too short for evolution, in my non-scientific brain), but rather migrated there to use it as "a shaping stone to make them, a testing ground to prove their worth, and a punishment for their sin." And it would be too easy on those three reasons if they were perfectly (or mostly) acclimated and suited for the desert genetically.
We need hardware requirements so that not just pixel phones can get grapheneOS.
GOS has strict hardware requirements to increase security that currently only Pixels meet. They won't, and shouldn't, compromise their standards which would give you a weaker OS. Want GOS on other vendors? Convince those vendors to up their hardware game.
Unfortunately the fact that NFC can't be used on anything that's rooted anymore is kind of a deal breaker.
NFC can be used on GOS, and they frown on rooting.
If I could use google pay and my normal banking apps with GrapheneOS I would switch to it today.
It's due to PlayIntegrity API wanting a "Google certified OS," which is ironically less secure than hardware attestation that GOS supports. I doubt Google would change their model, but your bank might. Some banks do support GOS, and they have changed at the request of their customers before. Send them the GOS documentation and you might get lucky.
The difference is that you are expected to pay. Louis and FUTO are very explicit about this.
I don't really follow them, but I did skim the Grayjay FAQ, and it never says that. Just that they make money by selling licenses, no subscription, and it works identically without paying. I don't suppose you have a source that is more explicit than the official Grayjay FAQ page?
They want to talk to everyone so they're blocking someone/anyone? That does not sound logical. If that instance defederates, all that person has to do is just not use them as their home instance. They're saying they want to talk to everyone, but they're going out of their way to not do so (by blocking an instance, for whatever reason). Makes no sense to me.
Out of curiosity, can you link where Proton said they don't have the user's recovery email, that the users themselves attached to their Proton account?
StartOS facilitates the entire process of discovering, installing, configuring, and using any variety of open-source software from anywhere in the world without trusting anyone.
Nobody is doing that now, with regular money, either.
I think it's more for ACH between banks as well as some banks have limits. Also, a government literally stepped in to actively block people's accounts. Just because you can swipe your card and buy a soda, doesn't mean there aren't restrictions or people being blocked.
Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland said Thursday financial institutions have moved quickly to freeze the accounts of people linked to the demonstrations in Ottawa, leaving an unknown number of protesters in financial limbo
But even if I have a server, I'll have to have my own separate Internet if I really want to be able to pay unrestrictedly.
Separate Internet? I mean, yes, you do need Internet. Not sure what you mean by "separate." And you don't need a server (node), though they are handy for privacy. You could choose one that is reputable.
Otherwise the government would just shut down my internet connection, right?
If they knew where it/your Internet was. All you really need is your phone or PC. You could use a cafe or library or cell tower or etc.
Yes, you need an Internet connection at some point. This can be a cafe, a library, an office, your house, friend's house, etc. As for controlled by the government, well, that depends on your country.
Worst case, if possible, you can move countries. I understand that might not be feasible, but my point is, you can move countries to escape the government and Internet restrictions. But the government locks your account/bank? Moving countries doesn't fix that, and you're locked out of any money you had there.
I use Proton. But I continue to run into more and more websites and services that detect my VPN and refuse my connection, or just run literally 40 captchas in a row until I just give up....
when humans were asked to solve distorted text CAPTCHAs, they were able to solve them in 9 to 15 seconds...and were only able to get the answer correctly 50-84% of the time....bots taking the same texts were able to answer the same tests in less than a second, and they were able to do it more accurately — 99.8% accurately, specifically.
For most people who refuse to use it, it's probably because they view it as more a haven for extremism and hate speech, as it seems to have made its niche by allowing those who were banned elsewhere (not always a bad thing...depends on offense).
Most of Rumble’s prominent accounts are run by individuals, not organizations, and about a quarter have been banned or demonetized on other social media sites. The Center’s study examined 200 prominent accounts on Rumble, selected from those with the most followers. As of June 2022, about eight-in-ten accounts (78%) were individuals while 21% were organizations. About a fifth of these prominent Rumble accounts (22%) have been banned or demonetized on other platforms.
Guns, abortion and LGBTQ issues were among the subjects that prominent Rumble accounts focused on in June 2022. A review of posts from these 200 prominent Rumble accounts found that about half posted about guns and gun rights (49%) or abortion (48%), 44% posted about LGBTQ issues, and 42% posted about the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. These posts came amid widespread discussion of major events and issues that were regularly covered in the news at the time.
I think I'm going to skip this generation for Tablet 2, whenever that is. I'm hoping for the addition of Desktop Mode and hardware memory tagging support / MTE to make the tablet easier to replace/act as a desktop and be even more secure.

You clearly have not worked at most larger companies which have Acceptable Use Policies (AUP) which typically involves not modifying the PC and OS with threat of termination when (not if) discovered.

Better yet, use Obtainium to "get Android app updates directly from the source. Obtainium allows you to install and update apps directly from their releases pages, and receive notifications when new releases are made available."

For like the past decade. I'm guessing you don't have a WhatsApp account? When I had one for work (I used a disposable number) the splash screen on app launch had "by Meta" and the settings had "by Meta" at the bottom. Might've been a couple other spots but I remember those two.

I did read, and it changed nothing about what I said. Let's revisit: did it detect Facebook, which I think we can all agree is invasive, as having trackers? No? The "why" of it doesn't seem particularly relevant as we are just looking for trackers in apps.
People used to got to Custom ROMs because OEMs were really doing shit job, that's not the case now given now.
Yep. I used to use custom (ROMs, kernels, etc) for the extra features and playing with my phone like a shiny new toy. Now I use GrapheneOS because OEMs and Google don't do security and privacy anywhere near as good as GOS. And I can live with the minor inconvenience of apps that use Play Integrity API, though I do encourage the app devs to switch to hardware backed attestation because: "Android's hardware attestation API provides a much stronger form of attestation than the Play Integrity API with the ability to whitelist the keys of alternate operating systems. It also avoids an unnecessary dependency on Google Play services and Google's Play Integrity servers." https://grapheneos.org/articles/attestation-compatibility-guide
I can't remember last time in the past 5 years, maybe full decade, where I was running low on storage space on a smartphone.
consuming bandwidth, and draining battery life
If they're truly forgotten and this not used, Android places them in hibernation. At a certain point, Android disables then and removes any granted permissions.
their icons present while the app itself is not actually installed. They would remain dormant until needed, at which point they would be automatically downloaded and launched.
This just sounds like a bookmarked PWA website...which I actually always recommend when available. PWA are less intrusive and less permission hungry than the typical app.
Interesting concept, but seems just like a phone with privacy switches and a non-Google OS. How is it on security, hardening? How would it compare to GrapheneOS?
To be fair, GrapheneOS does require a Pixel, but that's because those phones are the best in terms of security, and can be privacy as well.
