i mean this is all true of them

idk i don’t chalk it up to a “just me” issue

FairPhone 5 and my family member uses whatever comes at a discount every other year when “their previous phone breaks down” (always software issues only)

myrient.erista.me is open to me (MullvadVPN, set to Sweden)

i’ve used the android one a bit

idk iOS shoots customers in the foot

no wtf? it has chats and channels and mod permissions

Mumble is the unsung original that Discord obscured

it’s free libre open source

that’s you doing exactly the thing told in the ‘reverse centaur’ stage talk?

exactly this. i say PIR - Private Information Retrieval

offline everything, no middlehands

condition “the industry” as these are called to change the RND departement - live without dependency on fuckers

yeah okay well your watchparties are increasingly going to get worse until you too hit your threshold: such is the business.

the rest of the world uses a VPN like MullvadVPN and qBittorrent to “digitally back up media we’ve already bought”. without ads, in better quality, without telemetry, without serfdom-subscriptions. you may like AI offloading your decisionmaking, but keep doing it and you will be codependent on authority for choosing anything in life. what do you want in a cozy moment away from work? it frustrates me to read people are too anxioys to begin to do otherwise and accept the way things are. that’s a rant in return

have a nice day, i won’t make this into a chain of replies.

i don’t share the assumption that LineageOS doesn’t run on any phone, welp

last i checked it runs on phones from every brand ever

idk thats fallacious assumption of knowledge and generalizing i feel uneasy to let go unchecked.

most people talk to are intimidated and confused about mobile operating systems. by your assuredness i assume you use Linux and are cynically pragmatic about “non-tech savvy users who are fucked anyway” /my bias speaking

imho a video of a phone teardown to physically remove front camera & microphones & what else the person don’t feel a want or need for together with the overview that shows the beginning-to-end of the brief process assures people they can take the plunge into governing their own digital tools.

you’re not the state, just a person online, so not aimed at you, but i find others deserving of positive encouragement. leaving the door open and lights on to people wondering if GrapheneOS & a Pixelphone is the silverbullet or if stock android is as good as LineageOS (edit: yes, even on the phone held in their hand right now, or found about to be sold for 20$.)

people keep bringing up buying a new phone for thousands of non-dollar currencies. . .

consider this: pick a trashed phone out of the literal trash and 2nd hands around high-income households, look at ‘teardown’ videos like me, use a screwdriver to unscrew fromtcamera & whichever other component (Bluetooth, GSM, GPS, gyroscope, …) & install LineageOS.

ah shite! =(

applause that you move your family off of those exploitative spywares!

here’s an address to a sockpuppet account i just made using ArcaneChat and the official chatmail servers, for anyone’s interest in testing it out in vitu

Contact me on ArcaneChat:

https://i.delta.chat/#992AB3B1F0583AE4098AF213844A867C0BCD1F79=&a=cwt7u93s7%40arcanechat.me&n=bluemoon&i=hUw4EPwhDYp5dwp9GuZGlYZs&s=I_EGeOzvWKqA6ZZ-2nZiZfh5

maybe! =)

cool that you are of a mind to contribute to the projects you rely on.

i am personally curious now: are you using another email provider for chatting with other’s regular email addresses? i imagine the deltachat programs are optimized for use with chatmail addresses exclusively- and other email providers either playing nice with open standards or not. for example i hear there is a hassle tuning things to fit proprietary email providers.

fork in close relation with DeltaChat!

cleans up some cludge for some smoothness instead :3

maybe those issues you’re having will go away after some bug reporting? /genuine encouragement, neutral tone

stop using those oppressive email providers already??

idk if those billionare monopolies let you use IMAP & POP

try anything else- like StartMail, from dutch GDPR championing StartPage organization
