  • Nah you don’t sound argumentative, I probably sound argumentative.

    It’s just crazy hearing people say “x is better for security”. Who’s security, what kind, under what circumstances, when and where?

    Our approach to information security is very matrix when it needs to be more French connection.

  • Idk if that kind of thinking is helpful. The thing that sucks about security and privacy is that you have to figure out what your threat is and focus on that.

    If you install a custom privacy rom on a huawei phone you might be obscuring yourself from state actors looking to gain access to westerners devices but you’re dropping yourself into the huge pool of targets for state actors (and nons !) trying to gain access to Chinese nationals devices. You’ve also made yourself really easy to clock too, since your imei says what your device is right there in the number and how many motherfuckers are strolling around Arizona with a phone you can’t buy in America in their pocket?

    The other question to ask is which backdoors you want to have on your device? The obvious answer is none, no backdoors, but that’s not an option. If you are more comfortable with backdoors controlled by Chinese state owned companies as opposed to google then consider what that might mean as tension between the country you live in and China ratchet up.

    Especially with the proliferation of tools for analyzing huge amounts of surveillance data, standing out because of your unique signature or if you for really real can disappear in the data field are both bad! It’s better to look like the grillman than the shadow of the hackerman.

    Not trying to make a point, just rambling. Maybe make sure your Adsense profile is believably populated.

  • Do not rely on that. The reports are that Israel did not hack them, not that they could not. If you had a top shelf team of hardware and software backwards engineering experts who could make hay out of anything you throw at em would you go with the most popular devices in the world branded google, apple and Samsung or would you try and get the relatively unpopular outside of China huawei devices?

    I’m not saying they’re not good phones, just that they’re not impossible to hack and managed to avoid it by being too small a target for anyone to do the work overcoming the differences between them and other android devices.

  • Fantasy of olde: I am powerful and potent and will triumph over alien creatures and discover lost and unknown riches and knowledge instead of my mundane existence reproducing my class.

    Fantasy now: I will be discovered by alien creatures and love & be loved by them. I will live a mundane existence reproducing my class.

  • Neither. Red and green pop together like blue and orange do and that’s why the sign holders are dressed as they are.

    Art tells you about society, craft tells you about the person that did it.

  • Sign holders: emaciated, tattered clothing, foot wraps/bindings/bandages, visible wounds and scars, body language signifies either fear or aggression

    Sign occupiers: well fed, clean clothes in good repair, no visible wounds or scars, body language signifies openness.

    The visual language of enmity portrayed in opposition to the visual language of belonging.

  • Maybe it’s just the coffee hittin different this morning or that this post was underneath the goblin titty post but my take away here is that our stereotype of molesters and rapists being unattractive social outcasts who have to turn to a coercive dynamic to get human interaction is just dead wrong.

    What even causes people to behave like this?

  • I know your hearts in the right place about this, but android is not better than iOS for privacy.

    The only way android can be made decently privacy respecting is through graphene and that requires a very small subset of the ocean of android devices and requires that you give up almost everything that makes a smartphone useful.

    The solution to privacy isn’t graphene or android, it’s not using a smartphone at all.
