This. Just make Europe a bunch of puppet states.

Then, when you destabilize them or ruin the country, wreck the economy, oppress the people whatever else, it isn’t your country. It’s this other country and your people don’t care (as much) that a bunch of neighbors across the way are fighting for their lives to regain their freedom.

All the weakness and oppression strengthens the countries not going through that.

Google continues to do everything they can to close android down and force everyone to use their os directly. Imo this is a direct attack on graphene OS and anyone based on aosp. Now for every release developers will have to manually merge basically an unusable mess of changes.

Edit: https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/21231-google-will-develop-the-android-os-fully-in-private Might not change anything actually.

Seems like graphene is already merging based on tags vs individual commits. It’s also not like google is letting anyone (graphene) merge commits into android.

Iirc the graphene developers have basically given up on up streaming some changes because google doesn’t actually want many of the security fixes/ changes graphene devs make. Their faq still says they’ll try to upstream stuff, I wonder if this will impact that. https://grapheneos.org/faq#upstream

Lol

“incriminating” to be clear here, criticism of a political person should not cause you to be denied entry. That’s fucking insane. On the other hand, yes. Everything has to be encrypted, locked, and def have a dummy OS. I’m going to need to set some up.

Right

So you’re saying, that a private key within the TEE expired… So they probably had to write a custom TEE program in-order to rotate it? Along with actually securely delivering it.

So… Did we (someone) manage to capture it? Ultimately though each device is going to have to request a new key, so even with a jailbroken TEE you’re still only going to be capturing the key for that specific device. The key would be how they implemented the verification that an expired device was allowed to get a new key and that verification… Idk not an expert in widevine keys and such but I assume that cert chain expired.

Edit: sounds like it wasn’t the factory key that expired, just a system level intermediate CA but updating it was still a PITA because of all the cert expiration checks by all the apps. I.e. Google home. Feel free to correct me if I’m incorrectly summarizing. (https://www.reddit.com/r/Chromecast/comments/1j8wtxa/heres_why_a_fix_is_taking_so_long/) Obligatory 🖕 reddit.

I actually can’t believe how long this took them to fix.

End tax exempt status for all religious organizations. Full stop.

No. It is supportive. You are normalizing removing a gender stereotype. I.e. instead of saying my wife/husband which inherently brings a gender, and then also stated sexuality, you say partner, removing the gender statement. In so doing, you both help defend others to also be able to say it without forcing them to share their sexuality while also normalizing the removal of an over emphasis on gender with something that doesn’t fucking matter.

This isn’t a liberal take.

But I def agree with your second paragraph.

Edit: But of course it’s a lemmygrad take to believe that a liberal take is to regurgitate pro cop media propoganda.

I really haven’t seen any details. Most comments I’ve read indicate they think you already have to have access to the device and that this is just undocumented opcode calls. I.e. not a remote Bluetooth stack issue or remotely exploitable.

Given an opcode, as noted in the article (vague on details) and yes, I did read it. This doesn’t give me much cause for alarm.

“don’t worry, nothing to see here. our genocide(s) isn’t as bad as your genocide(s).”

Thanks for that!!! I’ll give this a shot.

Yes but, have you ever rooted a Xiaomi device. it’s VERY hard. not impossible, but very hard. Requires iirc a 28 day waiting period, and you can only do one per year. (I imagine they enforce by phone number) Here’s a guide I found with a quick google search, it requires running their super sketchy windows only utility, etc… etc… https://www.reddit.com/r/PocoPhones/comments/1bsb2ce/how_to_root_your_phone_whatever_your_xiaomi_phone/

And yes, everything you have read is true about how bad it is. Did you know by default every app is set to debuggable? it’s something the OS does, and no, you can’t turn it off from the apps perspective. The whole system is just not secure, by design.

Thanks for the rec. Ngl for something like sms though, maybe not maintained isn’t a problem. Heh as long as it doesn’t have any bugs, not like the protocol is changing

My… Guess is that it’s still another data point attaching your IP to you. I haven’t really dug into how true that would be, but there is def fingerprinting stuff that could be shared without location permission. I.e. just a web request gives them your phones ip. Now that might be your cellphone wan ip, That might be your home ip etc… still identifying info.

Imo this isn’t so much about tracking your literal location (though, that too) but also in tracking you across websites without permission.

That means you’re clear and don’t have any offending apps.

Had no idea Textra was on here. I guess back to stock graphene OS messenger.

Gloves are off and you won’t / can’t talk about what you believe about china in a meaningful way. All the rest is deflection and blame on me. I in fact was and have been open to entertaining more than one viewpoint, you have merely twisted what I’ve said to make it seem like I’m the one who won’t actually have a conversation here.

That’s why I asked questions which you refuse to answer.

The conversation here speaks for itself. If you want to blame me for refusing to engage, by all means, do so. But you’re the one spouting CCP revisionist history and refusing to answer questions about China.

Lol when actually asked about the stuff china is doing though you have repeatedly just hand waved it as I won’t go into that. You say stuff to establish yourself as an expert and yet have done nothing but just called me a brain rot liberal. You in fact have 0 concept of my background or upbringing and have just assumed because I have sat on my mobile phone and haven’t taken the time to go point by point explaining what I meant that I am some inferior person with no intellect of ability to think critically about my world view or escape the brainwashing I have been subjected to.

Please, enlighten me on all the truly bad stuff china did in the first years, talk about it. (Implication of your statement being that stuff is now over) Up to this point all you have actually done is speak positively about Tienammen square and hand waved “bad stuff” for china without saying it. Do it. Im worth all this other “time” you spent, but I’m not worth taking the time on actually saying anything bad about china? Still sounds like you aren’t who you say you are.

Are you going to tell me the Chinese government doesn’t threaten dissenters (and dissenters families) at home and abroad? Are you going to describe their state run media as free speech? It’s the government protecting the people from themselves. The censorship and control the government exerts on their society for their own people’s good?

When actually asked about china, to this point all you have said is I’m not actually going to go into that. I call bullshit.

And you describe yourself as allowing your long held beliefs to be challenged. Please tell me more. What are your beliefs?
