Libreboot? Coreboot? UEFI?
Os everyone here on graphene OS or other linux privacy phones? Or you guys only draw the line when it comes to desktop OS?
I got a Fairphone so I could run calyxos. The only thing missing for me is the option to stop charging at 80%.
Charging control (80% charge/scheduled full charge if wanted) is available on my Pixel with CalyxOS
is it not available on the Fairphones?
They haven't implemented the driver for the Fairphone 5 yet. I think it works on the Fairphone 4.
I got a Pixel specifically to install GrapheneOS on it after going on a huge FOSS/privacy kick last year (coincidentally around the same time I joined Lemmy...)
I'm on Lineage OS
I love my phone and I'm planning on keeping it until it dies. Lineage OS allows me to have the latest version of Android that is patched.
I'm having some conflicts when it comes to lineage and similar OS. While, yes, they might be better from a privacy perspective (if you put the effort into it) and allow you to keep your phone longer, I simply do not trust that the OS can't be tampered with. For many devices, there is a single person maintaining that version of lineage. Who guarantees that they don't pipe important information to some server in a more or less clever way? This should not be misunderstood as an argument for closed source. The problems I'm having with this type of open source is that the code differs from device to device, it is (at least as far as I know) possible to change enough of the code to become malicious while adapting it to another device, I don't have the capacities to make sure that the code is actually safe, and they are not regularly audited. Hell, in some cases they are even provided without checksums. So you trade the spying eyes against a possible barn door of insecurities.
Therefore, I much rather use audited ROMs like Graphene or Calyx, but they (mostly) require a device from the company that I am trying to avoid. It's such a weird situation...
Re: your last paragraph -
Think of it this way. Google pulls in 300 billion USD a year and 80% of that is advertising revenue, not leaving a whole lot of the pie for Pixel phones once you take out subscriptions, Chromebooks, GCP, etc etc.
Sure, they're probably making some money on every pixel sale but the point of them making mobile phones is to support their advertising business.
I'm not a Graphene user, but that's the way I see it. At the end of the day if you get the phone secondhand you're not giving them any money at all.
Every day I slowly become more of a paranoid Schizophrenic
You need to these days
I vote for adding the tails os logo too
Linux is already there?
I meant tails as one tool people use specifically for added security.
SHOOOOOOT! LMAO
i already fear that there will be car companies on the left. teslas can see through the cameras
i read it already. i recommend watching techlore's tesla privacy video. i'm thinking about buying an somewhat drivable vintage car with no tech outside running the car itself. my recent fav is 1988 964 911
Just be ready to do maintenance
1988 964 911
That's a classic. You would be lucky to get one for 50k rn, and I'm sure it won't get any cheaper in the future.
Haha yeah sounds like that person hasn't checked Porsche prices in the last 5 years
i didn't say that it's cheap? it's my favorite one inside that cluster, and why do you recon that i wouldn't be able to afford one, just like that?
It's just that if "somewhat drivable vintage car" is your criterion, an aircooled Porsche is going to be way in the upper percentiles of what you could get. People who are willing to pay the ridiculous current prices usually do so because they aren't cross-shopping with anything else. A somewhat drivable vintage car could also be an NA Miata for 1/6th the price.
yes i know but i don't care about the cost when thinking about my fav one the one in my dreams
Will? Will? Think again. Cars are already the worst when it comes to data collection and privacy. Not just Teslas, anything with Android Auto or similar. They can literally tell if you're banging someone in the back seat. BMW made people pay a yearly subscription to access heated seats. I hate the modern automotive market.
yeah i know. i fear that they are gonna harvest data even more and sell them to 3rd parties
Are... are we the same person? Steam is my only exception.
Steam is bad for your freedom. However I'm sure that you already know that.
I will point out that your "Anti Commercial AI license" is hopefully legally invalid as if it were valid it would mean that people could license comments under whatever license including putting arbitrary restrictions that could be enforced by suing. I get what your trying to do but there is probably a better way.
Well, depends on the platform no? Terms of service usually include the term for user generated content. For big companies, those terms usually include you forfeit or give the company the right to use it however they please. When you use their service the moment you register, you also agree to that term. But yeah, I don't know how it will work on a federated system.
How is it bad if everything else is much worse? That's like saying using planes is dangerous for traveling.
Im pretty sure almost all of lemmy is like this
Bruh not VLC ?
MPV ftw.
VLC is better
Default key binds are better for me on MPV, but install vlc for all others,family friends parents etc.
I also have both. VLC's UI is good for some strange one-off tasks like playing CD's and stuff. Sure, mpv can do it too, but I would rather push some buttons in a UI than dive head-first into a manual to figure out how to do it with mpv.
