The other 1000?

He’s counting on Mars. Which isn’t insane. He should go. We’re right behind him.

I would chip in $25 to send him to space, unless it was a two-way ticket.

Not offering a pre-installed GrapheneOS version feels like a misstep. Plenty of people are aware of the brand for security and privacy, and would pay extra to have it pre-installed.

Maybe we will see some re-sellers pop up, but I would prefer direct-from-manufacturer.

Not to mention, they could get the keys right from day one and eliminate (Google’s) “alternate OS is booting” boogieman screen.

less established?

Motorola has made some really good phones, over the years.

Simply having GOS on your phone is meaningless if you don’t know how to use it properly.

Removing spyware from the phone of a complete non-techie means that non-technie has a spyware-free phone.

Sure, it won’t solve every privacy or security concern, but it outright solves a fuck-ton of privacy and security concerns, regardless of how technical the user is.

I’ve been handing GrapheneOS phones to young or elderly people in my life for several years, with very good results, compared to leaving them on iOS or stock malwared Android.

Wow. What game was worth that?

I hear that.

I’ve taken multiple runs at most of my digital freedoms.

I figure I can always take another run at whatever continues to bother me, given time.

And remember, you’re already protecting yourself better than most people manage.

Holy fucking Christ, I don’t know if I ever ever gone 180 on an organization as quickly as I have on this one over the past week.

That’s true. They set a speed-run record for dumb-fuckery.

I think Andy Yen prefers that you use his entire title, which is “fucking dumbass lunatic CEO with a giant ego.”

If they’re foster kids, there’s a good chance the whole system is illegal under laws protecting foster kid’s privacy.

I would run the whole thing by an ally in the foster system, too. See if that doesn’t shut it down.

Sounds like it’s time for those bathroom locks to have an accident.

Limiting bathroom access can have health consequences.

Hey now, I’m not on Lemmy because I love Linux and despise the AI hype cycle.

I mean…I do love Linux…and I do despise the AI hype cycle…

But that’s not why I’m on Lemmy.

I mean, not the only reasons.

must be quarantined from the decision making processes of systems which affect anyone not similarly cognitively impaired.

So we should make them a CEO of a technology firm?

You can export your Aegis 2FA tokens and import them into a couple of different Linux desktop programs, including OTPClient.

https://community.linuxmint.com/software/view/com.github.paolostivanin.OTPClient

This allows configuring “one” MFA token with each service, but also having it on one or more Linux computers and even on multiple Android devices (Aegis can also import.)

I imagine it is unwise to go nuts with this. Each place the tokens are at carries some small risk.

But I feel much betfer having mine in two places than in just one.

Sorry you’re having to worry about this.

For what it is worth, I think you’re still better off at Proton (where their AI idiocy could leak your private information) than at Gmail (where their user agreements seem to indicate they proactively sell it.)

What do they think? That engineers are good enough for being hired but not good enough to decide which tools to use?

Exactly. That’s the smell that stinks from miles away.

This asshole has no clue. Migrating is always a pain, but I’m glad I’m no longer vulnerable to his stupidity harming me directly.

You make a great point.

But have you never met a CEO who used their access to break the law?

Trust is tricky, and an individual choice.

yes but doesnt that just get flagged as spam?

If you’re willing to run “mail-in-a-box”, with full control of the DNS for your domain name, it sets up all of the security DNS records to not get flagged as spam.

If you’re unwilling or unable to let mail-in-a-box control the full DNS for your domain, mail-in-a-box still has a page that will list every DNS record that needs add to your un-self-hosted DNS. It is many many DNS records, for best spam protection.

My other concern was receiving spam.

But the default spam filter in mail-in-a-box felt immediately noticeably (but just anecdotally) better than the one built into Proton. Which surprised me. I had assumed that I would give up some spam filter quality by self-hosting.
