OF COURSE climate change deniers would rather pretend nefarious human agency like a "weather control machine" is responsible for specific natural disasters affecting people they care about because otherwise it would be their own fucking fault for being climate change deniers.

There's usually a basic ass reason why conservatives say and do what they do, and it's usually because they're stupid and cruel and trying to square the circle of their cruelty and stupidity in a way that makes it someone else's fault.

    A lot of what's gone wrong in human history is because somebody decided something absurd like "left-handed people are evil" and then had to retroactively justify this absurdity to other people so as not to look like a complete tool. And unfortunately, stupid, hateful people are predisposed to accept the lies of other stupid, hateful people.

                                    There's no evidence of that. On the other hand, Braxman's products/services have had actual legitimate backdoors in their code including fake end-to-end encryption where the server has access to the keys. There are people who covered this.

                                      iPhones are far more secure than the vast majority of Android devices. Only Pixels are currently competitive with them.

                                      iOS is far more secure than nearly all options. Stock Pixel OS and AOSP itself aren't far behind iOS but iOS is at least a bit ahead. GrapheneOS greatly improves security. iOS has areas it does better even than GrapheneOS, but we think GrapheneOS is more secure overall especially against real exploits.

It doesn't provide the ability to avoid Apple services and strong privacy from Apple, but neither does a Google Mobile Services device with Google. iOS somewhat more private from Apple than GMS is from Google. It has better defaults and they support end-to-end encryption for most of the iCloud services via Advanced Data Protection. What they don't support is avoiding Apple services as you can with AOSP and Google.

                                                  We'll ship it and perhaps figure out how to display a notification to users about it with the option to disable the safety feature. People should get the battery replaced though.

                                                  > Did you push the one for 4a?

                                                  No, since it was end-of-life for ages already and they didn't properly release it. We highly discourage people using end-of-life devices.

                                                    I tried my IMEI but it seems that I am not eligible for free repair. Not sure if that means I am safe or screwed over.

                                                      @tinyocean They used multiple battery suppliers and only the batteries from one of the suppliers have a serious issue. The changes are only relevant to that subset of users and they're the only ones getting a choice of a free battery replacement, $150 credit for a new phone or $100 cash via Payoneer. If there's a nearby repair partner then the battery can be replaced with a quick in-person trip instead of sending in a device so that's a good option if someone wants to keep using it.

                                                        Sorry that I ask again but will the battery only be limited for the affected users or for everyone? Will you just include a warning for everyone and you need to manually confirm if you can disable the safety feature at your own risk? Or does the update from google contain a list of affected devices / detects the battery origin and unaffected users don't need to do anything

                                                          We aren't fully sure, but when we add the planned feature you'll only get a warning if you have a problematic battery. Their code only activates the change when the battery is from the problematic supplier so we can do the same with a warning. We could also tell people their battery is NOT one of the problematic ones. We haven't fully decided what to do about this yet and don't have resources to spare.

Does he have the opportunity to leave, because he is such an important person for the development of the project? I know that in practice he can pay for leaving this country or get a deferment from the army.

They would be better off simply deploying GrapheneOS as a way to defend their devices and discharging him so he can continue to work on it. They may decide he's valuable to them working on something else and then he won't be able to work full time on GrapheneOS anymore. We have little control over it.

However, going public about it got higher level awareness of it and he got diverted away from that. He should be physically safe now. Does not mean he can work full time on GrapheneOS because they're giving him all kinds of menial tasks to do right now and he'll be transferred to a real tech related role soon.

Thank you for answering so openly. And yes, graphene would be very useful for the military, but the main thing is that it is not forced to make exploits in the system. To spy on the military inside the army or for other purposes in general. But I think you'll check it out.

The “best” I saw is his execuses why the BraX3 is delayed. It’s a list of bullshit bingo. I could make a dart board with usually excuses and throw blindly my darts I could create a similar video with AI.
                                                                                                                    But I have to admit, that he is good presenting and selling his ideas. Like a lot of populists there are a few things correct but then mixed with lies or misinformation or populism. So I can sort of understand that people fall for him and his lies.
                                                                                                                    I am not as smart or well educated in IT Security matters, but I read a lot. I try a lot. I think I am usually very well informed. But I have never heard of BraX3 or 2 or anything like this. No one buys his phones, so he has to act… :-(((

I love that it is endorsed by prahou (the creator of unix_surrealism, who actually gave me this account; massive thanks, btw).

Self-moderation on this platform is not possible, meaning that my recent post promoting my article on mobile web browsers had to be deleted and re-posted after a certain incredibly racist bot account replied to it and I was unable to do anything.

                                                                                                                        I have also found that I have barely read or posted on the fediverse since I switched over.

                                                                                                                        There is also the matter of client compatibility is also an issue, but this does not impact the following decision much.

                                                                                                                        As a result of everything, I have decided to move back to my Mastodon account, @470m@mstdn.social, effectiv immediately.

                                                                                                                        Thanks for the last month or so. Other than what I've mentioned, it has been excellent, and who knows? Maybe I'll be back in the future.

That is the path we have in front of us.

They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.

Whenever church-goers come to my door, my brother and I
do a number of random things. Here's my favorite:

Some people from the local church came by and knocked on
our door and I answered. They asked me if "I had found
Jesus". I stared at them blankly for about 5 seconds then
said "Oh. My. God." followed by quickly turning into the
house and shouting "JESUS! RUN! THEY'RE ONTO YOU!"
My brother then starts running down the hall and into the
kitchen saying "fuckfuckfuck go GO! RUN!" and slamming
the back door. I turned back to them and said "No...." as I
slowly closed the door.

This is the funniest fucking thing I’ve ever seen

"blue USB stick is faster when you put it in the blue USB port" was such a good idea.

                                                                                                                                                                                      Adjusting to the pale blackness, visions of the past dance on the walls; good and bad, my friends and my foes, backlit only by a cold and lonely streetlight.

                                                                                                                                                                                      Lightyears apart, yet closer than ever; inches away, but the distance is growing.

                                                                                                                                                                                      A car crawls slowly past the window, saturating the room in shadows as the icy beams unveil scars old and new, real and unreal.

                                                                                                                                                                                      To jump is to fall, and to sleep is to die; but I will do neither, for I am ready to kill, but too low to try.

                                                                                                                                                                                                        2) People go where the people go. Herd mentality is a thing, but it is more than that, you have to have the "right people". Folks can agree the Fedi is great, but if that celebrity or social influencer doubles down, triples down on Twitter or Bluesky, most folks will park themselves, right there.

It's got a shit culture — like X, like Reddit, like everywhere else. It's just apparent to him now that there are multiple options and Twitter isn't just the default everyone uses.

                                                                                                                                                                                                          The hard part is just ensuring there are lots of big, high capacity instances for folks — like yours.

He's happy doing his healthcare stuff for sure, and when Stewart pressed him on doing bigger things to counteract Thiel and Musk etc he just seemed uninterested.

They are taking selfies with their victims, they glorify it in every way possible. They are not saying that they were following orders, they are saying genocide is cool and fine and you should agree. It is extreme even by nazi standards.

So I hate to be skeptical here but repercussions seem like they would be a long way off. Like until we get rid of this administration. Yeah, states can sue them, but the feds are just going to turn right around and say nope we're undoing that.
