I trust code more than politics.


GrapheneOS is a privacy and security focused operating system for your phone, based on Android. It provides much more security than stock Android. If you want a more private or secure device, then GrapheneOS is the go-to recommendation for Pixel devices.


I’m certain that most people between 2016 and 2023 bought multiple devices to upgrade old ones.
I’m not saying they should be canceled for that, but appreciated for it? Let’s not.
I appreciate their content, not their choices.
We should not hold those ignorant to privacy accountable.They simply don’t know any better. Instead, we should only hold those actively opposing privacy accountable. We should try to educate those ignorant to privacy and show them the alternatives that exist. I bet if these content creators could switch without major loss (e.g. a major chunk of subscribers lost) most of them would be more than happy to.


Are there any other examples of these privacy violations that aren’t common knowledge?
Here you go :)
This isn’t the right community to make this post in, though.
I’m keen to know your angle.
Certainly! My threat model is mainly against mass surveillance, so this is my view: If there is a surveillance camera recording in a place where there is reasonable expectation of having no strangers, I am mostly fine with that. As you mentioned, if it is only recording your own private property where no strangers are meant to be, that is your business.
However, if it is recording a space where there is reason to expect strangers to be there without violating private property (e.g. stores, doorsteps, sidewalks) that is not ok. Simply, I should not be in the crossfire of your surveillance. I don’t know your intentions with the footage, and I don’t know who else may have access to it. It shouldn’t be my job to cover up just because you want to violate the public’s right to privacy.
You can see this post of mine about my views on the expectation of privacy in public. I made it about a year ago, and I haven’t read back over it, so it may be outdated or less refined than I’d prefer.
I am a huge advocate for the right to privacy, so I don’t have any surveillance cameras of my own. When I have friends over, I want to lead by example and make my space a private space for them too. Instead of funding more surveillance, we should be funding stronger locks and better deterrents that don’t violate human rights.
Ah, that explains it. Thank you! I apologize for the mistake.
(this was clearly MS Excel)
LibreOffice Calc, actually. You are correct about the color grading.
(or the author was lazy, since these are one of the defaults I believe)
I changed the conditional colors from the default to match the colors that LibreOffice uses for “Good”, “Neutral”, and “Bad”.
It’s odd that it says it’s licensed under Creative Commons Attribution Share Alike 4.0 International but the actual license file is a different license.
I would advise against using surveillance cameras, because they violate others’ privacy. However, if you must, you can use hardware compatible with Frigate and upload it to whichever encrypted cloud server you wish.
Thanks! I’ve uploaded it!
What gives ivpn, mullvad and nym the advantage for the personal info section?
Originally I was referring to the signup process (since they generate a random account for you) but I edited it to try to add some clarity.
If you feel one of the options offers something better than the one you currently use, you may consider switching. That’s the purpose of comparisons, after all!
Tor VPN is different from Tor Browser.

I’m not sure. Are you certain you have the right app?
It is not. I’ve been able to use it on GrapheneOS without Google Play Services.
Do you walk up to every stranger with a Pixel and ask if they run GrapheneOS? No?
