If anyone saw a guy named AnonymouseJoker posting on any thread about GrapheneOS and criticize it, please ignore. What he is doing is spreading misinformation about an operating system that take a true approach to security. So CIA agents aka "journalists" will not find out a secure operating system to use, and then their phone can explode whenever the Chinese government want.

It's a normal thing and there's no need for you to brag. You are expected to delete every account you do not use.

scratchandgame ,

This is the first time I saw you saying something correct.

Google Allows Creditors to Brick Your Phone ( lemmy.world )

I installed NetGuard about a month ago and blocked all internet to apps, unless they're on a whitelist. No notifications from this particular system app (that can't be disabled) until recently when it started making internet connection requests to google servers. Does anyone know when this became a thing?...

scratchandgame ,

the phone world is fucked. Use a landline phone :)

Then why does the Tor Project choose Firefox over Chromium as its browser base? Chromium is incredibly insecure and full of holes. Post this wishy washy bullshit on reddit, not on Lemmy.

Because Tor browser's goal is maximum anonymity and onion service. Firefox might be lag behind in security, but its code and features met the privacy requirements. Tor browser try to achieve some security by using noscript and block some web feature.

scratchandgame ,

Chromium is inadequate and bad.

For a anonymous browser, but not for a secure browser. The paper is purely about privacy and anonymity. No security (sandboxing, mitigations) here.

scratchandgame ,

Also, security means nothing if privacy and anonymity are worse.

Security here is protection from exploits, bugs,...

scratchandgame ,

Chromium sandboxing means nothing when it leaks so much data.

The attacker can't gain access to the host with javascript.

A browser that support javascript but doesn't have sandboxing might not leak these data but when their are bug in their js implementation, the attacker can gain more access to the host.

scratchandgame ,

And those exploits are features in Chromium browsers.

Nonsense.

scratchandgame ,

It can also be used to extract metadata, which is used to attack someone in other ways or through other software or OS.

Threat model. Regular user aren't attacked this way?

scratchandgame ,

You should learn programming first. Then get to kernel development level.

scratchandgame , (edited )

Getting to the level of a kernel dev, you will have a different look on "degoogling", and even "android".

scratchandgame ,

Programming is like solving math, I think?

If I were you, I'd learn C instead. Rust is not used (much) on low level development. Currently C is not replaceable.

I've heard the authors of C said: "C is not a big language, and it is not well served by a big book". But it is so powerful, simple, and fast.

You already have a course on Rust, for "basic programming", so keep going on the course for a while. Learning any programming language can make your mind. And it is a course, so I'd expect the authors of the course to familiarize you with definitions.

scratchandgame ,

Big language which is not yet considered to be "powerful" enough by the guy who rewrites the whole kernel in C++. Slow compile time, high memory usage.

C is a small language and it is as powerful as assembly.

But learning any programming language can still get your mind up.

scratchandgame ,

Yes, and the guy wants to learn to programming and, for whatever reason, went with Rust.

Ok.

C is a bad choice for a first language, they will likely not enjoy it and quit. With Rust they have a fighting chance.

Untested.

If this is the case, what makes Windows so much more vulnerable?

What the hell. They are same vulnerable.

Advice on cleaning bloatware off of a new PC ( www.bestbuy.com )

I helped my 77 year old mother purchase a new laptop, and I want to be sure to get all the bloatware off of it, and set her up with with some better privacy options. I am aMac guy at home so I haven't done this kind of thing for many years. (I use Windows at work, so I'm quite familiar and capable, but obviously I have to rely...

scratchandgame ,

I doubt whether "debloating" could reduce stability or not. I've never done that and have no intention to do it for my 88 year old grandfather's windows. I'd have strict applocker rules on, though

scratchandgame ,

Also, these days telegram is really at the state of a pile of garbage, bloated, buggy, and shady messenger.

Every messenger is.

scratchandgame ,

They are better than those who cannot manage their own people.

You are only speaking for the CIA, which has no good intentions.

Do you live in Viet Nam? I thought foreign are mostly friendly and respect differences, but the people who live on other's land aren't. Those people are screaming for ambiguous "freedom" but blatantly violate that freedom.

scratchandgame , (edited )

If you dare to oppose the government, they’re taking you to the police station for questioning.

And that's the same for other government. Dirty CIA propaganda.

Most are the guy who want to drive when they are drunk.

Old people know about those who oppose the government. I don't believe you live in Vietnam.

My grandma (previously, a nurse) comment about people who oppose the government: "Cái bọn ấy thì cháu đừng dây vào chúng nó làm gì. Chúng nó ăn cơm nhà nước rồi lại quay ra nói xấu nhà nước."

There’s basically no press freedom and internet freedom

We still worry day and night that young people are being pro-Western and pro-Chinese. Are you still saying that we don't have internet freedom??

See the attitude of some people on voz (Điểm báo) whenever a police rescued a little girl.

There's absolutely no free speech and free press, since free speech and free press are unrestricted speech and press, under no law, people there can say whatever they want. Even american don't even have it, they just allow people to insult other by whatever sentence. Viet Nam is more restrictive: insulting others are not allowed.

Knowledgeable person actually understand the consequence of unrestricted freedom. They are educated. Not like anyone want to comment on other government's policy without actually living in it and understand it.

About internet freedom: we already have it for years. Before 2018, anyone can set up a social media site if they want, but now they will need to register for it. That's equivalent to the business law: if you want to set up a company, you must register what your company do.

I want to know what others government collect (both Europe and Asia)

And is the iris scan visible? I have just had my card, I don't saw the polices do any iris scan.

scratchandgame ,

Yeah what the fuck is up with that?

The fuck is, if it is done by EU government it is so normal and good. But if it is done by any socialist government it show dictatorship and lack of freedom.

Are you paid by CIA?

scratchandgame ,

He is actually paid by CIA to do that.

scratchandgame ,

Already happened in the EU, you must provide your fingerprint to get an ID

Yeah what the fuck is up with that?

You responded: "Yeah what the fuck is up with that?" when someone comment about EU doing the same thing. When EU do that, it is really normal and good and people benefit? But when China, or Viet Nam do that, they are violating human rights, being against democracy, etc...?!?!?!

Again, are you paid by CIA for saying that? If not, account for your "Yeah what the fuck is up with that?".

Kindly disconnect from tor and lets have a chat about it…

I currently don't need to be anonymous, but tor is not blocked (EVEN ADOPTED BY COCCOC, A BROWSER THAT PARTICIPATED IN GOVERNMENT'S ANTI-SCAM PROJECT) and I can turn on whenever I want.

Good article. Especially for bad quality linux website like itsfoss, tecmint, etc

Often we say infinite growth (capitalism) is not sustainable and reasonable. Can we also say infinite progressivism is also not sustainable and reasonable?

This question is social/political, and meant to trigger a nice debate on the negatives of imbalanced infinite progressivism we seem to be heading in social and technological spheres, ignoring science, practicality and reason....

scratchandgame ,

Blind metaphysical. Agnosticism.

Often we say infinite growth (capitalism) is not sustainable and reasonable

when it is not sustainable and reasonable anymore it will forms communism.

scratchandgame ,

In Viet Nam's rural area WE HAVE TAP WATER!!!

Dirty political propaganda.

scratchandgame ,

Only violent revolution solve this. Social democrats are useless.

scratchandgame ,

Not because of an operating system. But the success of other operating systems.

The characteristic of violent revolution is to completely resolve it.

New to Linux? Ubuntu Isn’t Your Only Option ( www.howtogeek.com )

Ubuntu's popularity often makes it the default choice for new Linux users. But there are tons of other Linux operating systems that deserve your attention. As such, I've highlighted some Ubuntu alternatives so you can choose based on your needs and requirements—because conformity is boring.

scratchandgame ,

Linux is flawed. everything use systemd.

The only clean living is BSD, in my opinion OpenBSD is the easiest. NetBSD prior to 10.x does not have SSL certificates preinstalled. FreeBSD needs you to manually install X. Both FreeBSD and NetBSD have a menu based installation, while OpenBSD is question-based, and their disklabel tool have automatic partitioning.

scratchandgame ,

I use OpenBSD, and Alpine is the only Linux distro I can recommend :)

It is somewhat like FreeBSD (not having X by default), and they are both not friendly to newbies when compare to OpenBSD.

People should start with a free and sane default and gather knowledge, not start with a beautiful desktop environment (integrated graphical environment) and use browser and libreoffice and proprietary software on their device.

scratchandgame ,

I'm curious what's the advanced feature?

scratchandgame ,

There isn't. Self hosting is the only way you can send email without giving your data. All email provider have your data, assuming there is a provider that is private is lying yourself. Even if they have some kilograms of privacy policy.

scratchandgame ,

Ads are harmless. The harmful things is JavaScript.

requires them to use their software

And their software doesn't even have an option to display HTML messages as it is plain text messages.

How to sign up services without phone number?

Hello all, recently wanted to signup for temporary permanent legit emailmid in gmail. It was asking me Phone number in process, i tried to use multiple numbers from regular online resources ( more than 30) but nothing worked. I don't want to give my personal phone number in real life to someone's unless Its I want to....

scratchandgame ,

Don't sign up.
Or better don't be anonymous.

scratchandgame ,

try enabling WASM (web assembly, hell!!). chromium in OpenBSD's port also get "Unsupported browser" when WASM is not enabled.

scratchandgame ,

Now you've borned so much executable type.
Why can't you release the source code of the software to "make sure there isn't malware" and pledge and unveil it.

What’s your data really worth? ( proton.me )

There’s a saying that data is the new oil(new window) because of how valuable it is to the digital economy. But what’s the value of your data, personally? Depending where you live, information about you could be worth at least several hundred dollars a year to Facebook and Google alone....

scratchandgame ,

Your data is valuable. And that’s exactly why you should keep it safe by using privacy-focused services.

Not by using privacy-focused services, but by not letting the data to reside on others' hard disk.

scratchandgame ,

Why there are so much VPNs here

How can you think it is a good practice.
