Do they all really? I know GrapheneOS does, and I think DivestOS even says “use my OS to stay as up to date as possible, but if you have a current/supported Pixel, use GrapheneOS instead for superior security.” But I don’t recall other OSes really going “we’re more secure than GrapheneOS and here’s why.”

“Part of a complete breakfast!”

I mean, if you eat a complete breakfast, wouldn’t anything you drank/ate during that be considered part of the complete breakfast? Healthy people hate that one trick.

In rare cases charisma pulls you out, but that’s much harder to achieve.

Spoken like a person with no charisma.

if they draft it’s because cannon fodder is needed.

That’s a big if, as you noted US hasn’t drafted in forever. But even if they did draft, the US hasn’t used “cannon fodder” tactics for several decades. Their technology is so advanced (and military budget/spending so high) they don’t need to in order to win. Trench warfare ain’t really a thing anymore.

At least you’ll be alive instead of cannon fodder

I don’t think the military is dying at a noticeable rate, especially as “cannon fodder.” A quick Google says deaths by hostile action hasn’t broken the triple digits annually over the last decade. I also didn’t really look at the other deaths, so feel free to dive into that side.

It’s doomed to become a nazi bar…you can just go to an instance with admins you trust better or make your own instance

Ok, how is that different than Nostr? Don’t like your Lemmy instance admins rolling against your Nazi views? Join a different instance. Nazi sympathetic instance gets defederated by everyone else? Make your own instance.

But generally I’m not a fan of the stuff I’ve heard and read about the Nostr protocol so far.

Can you elaborate?

I’m hoping for a Pixel Tablet 2 with this (Pixel Tablet doesn’t have it, but the Pixel 8 does for some reason) and MTE security capability, and I’ll transition to that with GrapheneOS over a laptop.

I haven’t tested it personally, but I think GrapheneOS (easily the best Android OS for Pixels, in my opinion) has had it for Pixel 8s since the end of October 2023. Here’s a quick guide I saw: https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/9775-pixel-8-desktop-mode-guide-and-personal-experience

and Signal were Google proprietary.

I’m pretty sure Signal is not Google proprietary, and the person you replied to didn’t say it was.

To be fair, the Aiel didn’t initially grow up there (and too short for evolution, in my non-scientific brain), but rather migrated there to use it as “a shaping stone to make them, a testing ground to prove their worth, and a punishment for their sin.” And it would be too easy on those three reasons if they were perfectly (or mostly) acclimated and suited for the desert genetically.

A cool quote…but fictional and not applicable in the real world. Has “both sides are the same so I’m not gonna vote” energy, which let’s the greater evil win. Kudos for maintaining neutrality and helping screw everyone over.

When a power imbalance that vast is concerned consent doesn’t exist.

At the time, sure. However, over a decade after the fact:

Maintaining that her affair with Clinton was one between two consenting adults…

So if the power imbalance was why she consented, you’d think she’d set the record straight and say she was pressured or forced into it despite saying yes at the time. But she didn’t. Ergo, she consented and your argument is invalid.

Other than Google pay…

Google Pay’s Tap to Pay does not work on GrapheneOS.

Startpage, which is still recommended over at privacyguides.org

For now. There is an open pull request to remove it due to Startpage fingerprinting users (I didn’t delve into it to see if it’s true, but that was the reason given). And just because it’s been suggested doesn’t mean it will be removed, so time will till.

https://github.com/privacyguides/privacyguides.org/pull/2577

I know that’s the point, which is why I said it. The person I replied to asked if they were missing something, so I was attempting to educate them on said point. Then they edited their post to add the /s after the fact.

The difference is that you are expected to pay. Louis and FUTO are very explicit about this.

I don’t really follow them, but I did skim the Grayjay FAQ, and it never says that. Just that they make money by selling licenses, no subscription, and it works identically without paying. I don’t suppose you have a source that is more explicit than the official Grayjay FAQ page?

Sounds to me like you need an upgrade. I tried Jerboa, but it felt like it always lagged behind or was buggy for some reason. Then I switched to Voyager, which gets constant updates. Also, it’s a PWA, so I don’t need an app and it can thus be used on mobile, tablet, desktop, etc. Not to mention the theming is one of the best, in my opinion.

The ending period? Not for me on Voyager.

Even their server codes are publicly available

Last I checked, their provided server code lags behind their production server, so you rarely get to see the current version. However, that’s kinda the point of E2EE, is you don’t have to trust the server.
