helvede.net is one of the many independent Mastodon servers you can use to participate in the fediverse.
Velkommen til Helvede, fediversets hotteste instance! Vi er en queerfeministisk server, der shitposter i den 9. cirkel.
Welcome to Hell, We’re a DK-based queerfeminist server.
Read our server rules!
Ich glaube, ich habe mich inzwischen darauf eingeschossen, mir ein #Pixel#Phone zu kaufen und hoffe, jemand im Raum #Kiel kann mir helfen, das mit GrapheneOS zu flashen, ohne es zu bricken
@jleigh yeah, it's working well for me! I've also totally enjoyed GrapheneOS. Not only is it more secure/private by default, it has encouraged me to keep a much closer tab on the apps and services I use. Win/win!
Though have had trouble with coverting the System76 laptop to NixOS due to fan drivers always running the fan at 100%, which is unacceptable for a server.
I tried installing https://skylight.social/ (short form video app that uses the AT Protocol) on my “degoogled” GrapheneOS phone just to see what it's like, and it immediately demanded that I install Google Play services in order to use it
It's possible to sandbox them on Graphene OS and I do have a user account with them for my banking app, but I'm really not interested in using a social app that demands them
Today we're going to talk about something that one of us has considered buying in the past, but opted for a smartphone with /e/OS instead. But since we like the concept and design, let's talk about Punkt , the "detox" and pro-privacy smartphone .
Do you think we really need all those apps that are installed in our smartphones?
In our world of "app-obesity", Punkt offers a breath of fresh air with a simpler approach to technology.
Petter Neby , a Norwegian entrepreneur, founded Punkt in 2008, a company that create products that focus on the things we really need without any of the distractions we don't.
Punkt is based in Switzerland , it had around 50 employees and offers 2 different mobile models:
The 1st is the MC02. It has basic digital tools and focuses on privacy and security - email, calendar, contacts, notes, storage and a built-in VPN. They have an agreement with #Threema, which comes pre-installed. This model has a subscription and costs around CHF 12/month (1st year free).
The 2nd one, the MP02, is a classic #dumbphone. The interface is 100% text-based, with no icons, and it has the most basic functions of a telephone.
BTW: Does @GrapheneOS#GrapheneOS — usually well ahead of "traditional" Android security — have good mechanisms to prevent the app enumeration or "other" SMS reading problems listed above?
GmsCompatConfig is the text-based configuration for the GrapheneOS sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer. It provides a large portion of the compatibility shims.
Ist auch vermutlich eine gute Wahl aus #privacy & #security-Perspektive.
Allerdings gibt's bei LibreWolf das Problem, dass fast alle Zeitangaben nur noch in #UTC dargestellt werden. Besonders lästig bei Chats, Version Control Systems, Kalender, ... im Browser. Könnte man auch disablen aber offenbar nur als größeres Paket von an sich sinnvollen Anti-Tracking-Maßnahmen.
Diverse Workarounds haben bei mir bislang nicht funktioniert.
Meine Lösung aktuell: für diese Seiten, wo mir Zeitangaben wichtig sind, habe ich #Firefox (mit diversen Privacy-add-ons).
