Signal Piracy group
  • TBH I would just use email over TOR and encrypt communication with PGP. Rotate identities every now and then and you should be fine. Yes it doesn't have forward secrecy but it removes the effort to find the "right messaging" service and is instead ubiquitous (and you can sign up for anonymous email addresses online too, which makes it even better).

  • You're not there for fun lol, you're there to pirate stuff. Sure, using Signal to pirate would be fine too but your anonymity depends on how long they honor their word of "no logs". Use a desktop version/ run a VM if you're on MacOS or something.

    Everybody hates me when I say it but Apple users should really reconsider their choices if they are at all interested in privacy. Go get a cheap Android device, hope it has a kernel beyond 5.10 and KernelSU it.

  • What is "Mobile Services" and would disabling it prevent me from being able to send and receive texts or calls?
  • ADB commands cannot permanently remove system applications, they can only disable them till you get around to wanting to enable them again. The problem starts getting ugly when you disable a lot of stuff at once and then something breaks and you're too lazy to track down which component was necessary. A couple of applications are no problem. Of course, it's been a year since I've tried ADB so RTFM. Don't worry so much about it

  • The big ISPs should band together and fight the studios

    Imagine if Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile and Cox banded together for a showdown against the studios accusing them of liability? AT&T runs an NSA stronghold in Manhattan, they're not going to let their darlings go down in a teeny lawsuit like this. I really want to see this happening. Let them fight.

    General question on Android updates coming from desktop linux

    Hi everybody,

    I've been unable to make sense or gain better understanding of the Android update system, so I'm asking here.

    Coming from the linux desktop, there's two main parts of the system: the kernel and the userland. I could simply update the kernel without updating userland and vice-versa.

    But does it work the same way on Android? Why are we so dependent on OTA updates from the individual manufacturer? I understand that microcode is proprietary and can come only from the device manufacturer, but aren't kernel updates and userland decoupled from this (for devices which support project treble and GKI)? Can't I just run a different FOSS launcher, get the upstream GKI kernel and run it with the microcode offered by the manufacturer?

    What consists of an Android "version"? Can't I just not update the microcode beyond what the manufacturer provides, and instead keep updating the kernel (by "kernel" I mean GKI and not the actual linux kernel) and userland and in essence keep updating my android version?

    I'm probably missing some fundamental understanding of android here, which is why decided to ask here. Thanks for your help!

    Question on KernelSU (LKM) and updates

    By now, most people in the custom ROM community must have already heard of KernelSU. I do think that it is worth the hype and is truly revolutionary, piggybacking on something I credit Google on (to some personal chagrin) - KMI.

    The question I have is: when I attempt to install OTA updates to a device with KernelSU running as a Kernel module, will that affect KernelSU? Will I have to root again?
