Dread has something that works without JS. Don’t know much about it though

I’m not putting it in a Faraday cage, just preventing it from listening and seeing anything. I’ll place it closer to my WAP if it needs it

It’s still the same problem no? If I can’t DeGoogle a phone then I don’t know what and how much data is being captured. Honestly I really liked the idea to just keep the desktop app running on a separate PC with headphones plugged in. I’m wondering if USB landline converters exist so I can have it ring when a call comes but then I can speak like when I’m wearing headphones.

Thank you for the suggestion though

Yes I realised that after I posted, sorry. Do you have any other ideas I could look at? I just want to keep my phone locked up and away from me when I’m in the house but still be able to talk to family over the chat apps they use (they are not very technically literate so Simplex is out of the question; it took a lot of convincing to get some of them in Signal)

Hmm, do you think there’s a way to have the ringing happen on the speakers but the conversation on the headphones? TBH if this is possible then I don’t need to use such complicated measures

What are you talking about mate? The VPS will be a wireguard server, your device will connect to it and use the VPS’ IP address to connect to your game

Well if I could get a twitter API to abuse for free, I’d compete with him to create automated shitposts. Not going to pay for it though

Just so you know; American tech is the exact same with different overlords, and Europe is actively banning encryption.

Where do you want to go?

I stopped using the LX suite when they stopped working on LXDE and switched to LXQT. I think I need to look towards openbox for a minimal DE experience

I think in going to switch from XFCE to KDE just because the XFCE merit of using the least amount of the resources is no longer a reality. I miss LXDE

I’d wrap it in a towel inside the box. Have you considered making a DIY Faraday cage? I’ve been thinking about it but my physics isn’t very good

Let’s see: TAILS, Fedora/Debian, Windows and OpenBSD?

Why not both

2FA won’t work as well for banking. Unfortunately, family is still on WhatsApp

I’m loving your commentary on the subject.

When I mentioned Mistral, I meant their attention to open source. Their new model (Mistral small) can be run on consumer hardware with similar results to ChatGPT if trained on good data. AI isn’t that useful outside of me asking it to write one-liners but I haven’t had the experience you have.

How much VC/Microsoft funding does OpenAI have? Surely they can’t afford to keep burning cash like they are now? When will they make AI so expensive to use that it will become useless?

The only AI startup I care about is Mistral. Amazing models, altruistic attitude towards AI and software. In my opinion, one of the few great companies out there. Give them a few more years and I’ll consider them in the same league as Mullvad.

Thank you. This was exactly the response I was looking for.

1. Is it possible to set a password for sudo on Android? I’ve never seen anyone talk about it.

2. Sucks that I can’t control sensors with root. Sensors are my biggest fear on all phones.

3. Ah yeah, ARM TrustZone. I had forgotten about that.

4. afaik the modem often relies on a linux based system

   Well, shit.

I’ve seen this movie before. MBAs are fucking idiots.

Truer words have never been spoken.

I’m just waiting for OpenAI or someone else to jack up prices in the name of profits so high that they will be the equivalent of Nvidia for business AI.

Suddenly hiring for creative roles will be back in full swing because companies won’t be able to afford it. Unfortunately, in the end, the shareholder always wins

We need something better than Anubis that can run with JS disabled
