  • And at that point I'd pay someone instead or just DIY!

I consider #Smartphones unfixably insecure and would recommend those affected to rather use public WiFi and a Device running @tails@fosstodon.org / @tails_live / #Tails instead because @torproject@mastodon.social doesn't try to appease #Cyberfascists who implement " #Attestation " #Malware in their #Apps ...

I've catched a bullet in my neck the last time I trusted anyone but myself!So I too would rather consider all Phones "BLACK" and unable to go "RED"… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red/black_concept

I've seen enough of that drama from afar…

The video you link is very disingenuous and bad faith. It leaks a private conversation, leaving out the necessary context to properly understand that private conversation and then makes false claims about how system updates work.

Rossman has had interactions with the GrapheneOS project and that specific developer before those private messages. He has also multiple times been very toxic towards them and has voiced support for another video on YouTube that is full of false claims and unfounded claims about the health of that GrapheneOS develper. In that private conversation, the developer asked Rossman once again to remove his support for that video. Because the video was cited as a motivation by the people that had repeatedly swatted the developer leading up to that conversation with Rossman. The developer was distressed due to his life being endangered by the swatting attacks which is the explanation for the suboptimal approach he used in that conversation. His request, however, "please don't publicly support a video full of lies that's a motivation for people to try to get me killed", seems very reasonable. Please also note that Rossman is a KiwiFarmer that has an identity verified KiwiFarms account named "larossman". He is just a bully who loves hanging out on the internet with other bullies.

He lied in the video about stopping with using GrapheneOS, he kept using it afterwards. That could be seen when he was using his phone in videos after that. He also made a wrong claim about him possibly being targeted with a malicious update while that isn't possible because GrapheneOS doesn't collect any telemetry.

I've ditched phones long ago and only use @tails / @tails_live / #Tails & @torproject / #TorBrowser, with maybe a VPN.

That's your decision but it isn't a good one for your privacy and security. Tails is based on typical desktop Linux software that doesn't have proper sandboxing with a proper permission model and mandatory access control. It also heavily uses memory unsafe languages compared to Android and has a lot of unnecessary extra attack surface.

🔴 Habe mir mal die Zeit genommen um mir Tails als tragbares Betriebssystem (Auf USB-Stick) anzuschauen. Es ist bereits 3 Jahre her, als ich mir #tails das letzte Mal angesehen habe. ➡️ Klare Empfehlung von mir es läuft auf Anhieb Super 🍁 Wenn Sie sich ansehen, wie Whistleblower nach 2013 enttarnt wurden, wird klar, dass das absolut Wichtigste zur Wahrung Ihrer Anonymität ist, die Anzahl möglicher Fehlerquellen bei Ihren operativen Aktivitäten zu reduzieren. Tor und Tails tun genau das - nach wie vor. — Edward Snowden, NSA Whistleblower

@Em0nM4stodon@infosec.exchange Which makes sense since #Tails per design is focussed on providing a simple and easy to use solution that people can't fuck up unless they explicitly want to…

@Em0nM4stodon@infosec.exchange that's why we MUST OPPOSE THIS #CYBERFASCISM BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY! And if that means #kids doing #CopyParties for #Tails & #TorBrowser, then so be it!

@cstross@wandering.shop The #arque from Keio University has had a lot of coverage since 2019. But none of it appears to address a fundamental (sic!) point that I was first caused to think about when reading Jack L. Chalker's Well Of Souls series, where a character's body being altered to have a tail by a sadistic slaver is a plot point. There's not a single picture, nor a single mention, in the gushing coverage that I have seen, of a wearer sitting down. It's a really basic aspect of the whole thing, and is totally ignored; which (alongside the 6 years that have passed since) tells us all that we need to know about how blinkered the engineering that went into this is and how uncritical the journalists regurgitating the press releases have been. Most things of this kind that have reached real medical use have had a fair amount of thought put into how the user eats, sleeps, sits, dresses, goes to the toilet, and suchlike. @MissConstrue@mefi.social#tails #SciFi #WellOfSouls #JackLChalker #KeioUniversity
