Yes, your productivity is going to tank. No way you’ll be prepared for a full air gapped machine on day 1.

Let me guess, they’re still gonna keep questions about trans perpetrators?

Throw away mobile phone and just use an air gapped machine. Your productivity will tank but then you’ll eventually add local databases of the shit you actually need on your air gapped machine and your productivity will triple.

As of May 3, citizens back to Russia and Belarus must have documented a valid reason for additional trips within the three month timeframe. Exceptions also apply for employees engaged in international freight and passenger transport.

What the problem with fucking with Astrophage? Shit is eating all our sunlight

Upvoting so that people see @TheTechnician27@lemmy.world reply

She asked her mother to bury her in a white dress, but the mortician said a closed-casket funeral was more appropriate due to the severity of injuries to her face and extremities.

Ah 💩, here we go again

Stay classy 🇯🇵

What would Jesus do?

Excuse me, a third of the country was screaming that this was going to happen, a third was screaming for this to happen harder, and a third was uninspired by a boring Kamala

Their consequences. Voters don’t vote for somebody else other than the geriatrics that thinks everything is peachy.

And what’s this lawsuit BS. The Green Party somehow still exists as Republican lite.

And what were the consequences? They all re-won their primaries.

Primaries exist. Show up and vote for the boring elections too.

Theoretically: fuck no. Private operating system, not open source code, installation source is Apple itself, Apple helps law enforcement, Prism scooped up all unencrypted data.

Practically: signal wouldn’t keep developing an iOS app if there was hard evidence Apple couldn’t be trusted, Apple gives plenty of options for your data to not be collected in plain text and given to law enforcement (turn off iCloud backups, turn off biometrics, lockdown mode, advanced data protection) but not default because they’re trying to balance being a luxury product with compliance, as a luxury product it’s used by rich people and rich people love their privacy (citation needed), Apple is the only practical choice if you don’t get a google pixel, FBI is always fighting them on allowing full phone encryption, they rolled out a contact encryption key verification feature for their own iMessage.

Signal explicitly doesn’t allow its files to be uploaded to iCloud. You practically will be fine using it on iOS. Unless you are in China which has its own iCloud/Apple servers, or the UK where Apple disabled advanced data protection.

Apple provides encryption for its customers, but not by default. All its encryption features hint to me that they would prefer not having anything to hand over to the hundreds of law enforcement agency’s around the planet, but don’t want to piss them off by making it default. This aligns with it being a hardware and service company, vs the advertising company Google.

Privacyguides has a page on steps you can take in your iPhone to harden it.

You are in a better situation than most. Make plans to get onto a graphene pixel. But if that wasn’t available then an iPhone is the next best choice.
