@ElfLord Yeah, but think of all the time I can spend configuring it
With little debate and the support of the main opposition party, Australia has passed a law that will subvert Internet security and demolish user trust. What happens now? https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2018/12/new-fight-online-privacy-and-security-australia-falls-what-happens-next
@aparrish big mood. ughh i know exactly that feeling. any small hurdle in my way can be enough to dissuade me from even beginning to attempt the actual problem...
You should probably go fuck yourself.
i even wrote a comment to the government about why this is a bad idea. If labour actually passes this im going to be mad.
mad enough to leave the country even. fuck this shit, im not tryna get into security in a country cyber-security *cannot* exist, by law!
@thegibson it wont matter if the applications are back door'd. im doubtful Signal will comply, but i wouldn't be surprised if WhatsApp et all does. Will be interesting to see Telegram/Wire and Google/Apple's response (as service providers and Store owners respectively)
I cant even imagine what they plan on doing about GPG encrypted email.
FUCK. Access and Assistance passed in Australia. RIP any semblance of privacy online now...
I hope Apple pulls out of Australia for being unable to comply, because that seems like the only hope we have for the government to reconsider.
i recommend taking two steps back from your monitor, firing up the utopian imagination, and picturing something much better than we have now

@remotenemesis i think ethical web design should be about people, not technology standards. as you say, the problem is social, not technological. whether we use rss, indieWeb or activityPub itself should not be the final concern, instead what matters is they are open and interoperable.

this manifesto is the best i know of, and is a great starting point, but lots of the details are vague at best. forming a community around it is a good idea.
@zpojqwfejwfhiunz indeed all of these contribute to the device's excellence haha.
OxygenOS is fine, but my issue was also with Google play services. I found LineageOS supports both camera and fingerprint, though image quality is lower now for me. The largest personal sacrifice I had to make to get rid of GPS was face unlock which seems to depend on it and was rather convenient, but now i have adapted to mostly using the fingerprint reader.
Mastodon is like some kind of weird monster. Every time other social media networks get weaker, it gets stronger.
@WAHa_06x36 they're all lies.
Remember. Western society tries hard to make us cold and ruthless. An act of kindness is an act of rebellion.
Go. Rebel.
@StuC @aral @Purism There is also a matter of digital exclusion when you give companies like Google a free pass to educational system.
What happens with students that don't accept the Terms of Use required for using G-Suite or Chromebook?
you all know the solution to foss devs not being paid is to not require people to earn money in order to have a tolerable life right
@remotenemesis 👋🏿 hello
@zpojqwfejwfhiunz seems 1+ has a loyal fan in you! im upset they removed the headphone jack with that release tho. the notch is the least bad one on the market so w/e. definitely still an excellent device.
do you just run oxygen on it?
first rule of being an agent of chaos is destroy the small stuff. the second rule? it's all small stuff
