UnreachableCode

Doesn't that still ring true with the ideas in the article though? His ethics were in the right place, even if he did use AI to write it?

No.

I too am a GrapheneOS Pixel 8 user. However, I am starting to realise even a screen this large is a huge source of distraction and dopamine fracking that I don't have the time or desire for in my life. So I'm looking at these even dumber options. I just want my calendar and email, and maybe Signal. No web browser or socials.

Jellyfin is good. I'm currently using the Roku version

On the topic that will likely pervade this news item: does anyone know the best FOSS TV system

Isn't this type of reasoning okay to an extent until you (or in more humbling cases, someone else) points out it's no longer working?

Contactless payments already work on GrapheneOS via Curve Pay

Are you sure about this? It was my understanding that NFC passes for gyms and stuff worked, but that if you want to pay for something with Google or Curve, you're shit outta luck

What about some form of external auditing down the line to add legitimacy to these honeypot claims? Maybe open sourcing the technology as well?

How? If you like playing Warhammer, go to Games Workshop. If you like climbing, go to a bouldering gym. I appreciate that there are probably some counter examples. But part of this, in my mind, needless demand for tech spaces to meet other hobbyists is catering to an over-reliance on technology. Yes, there are reasons you might want to screen people or groups - for instance, women looking for safety. But surely the existing tools for such a problem are good enough? Instagram and Facebook groups? Or Reddit or Hacker News? The problem is people become chronically attached to these services and convince themselves they need them to function socially. Which is complete myth.

What's the alternative? I don't know.

Real world connection and a strong foundation of core friends, perhaps?

Maybe not in your region, but here in the UK I think the majority of high street banks do not function on GrapheneOS.

Shipping from whom? I haven't used Amazon in years. Entertainment - Blurays and CDs! Transport, who are we talking here? Unless you're giving Tesla your dollars, are you really supporting the regime? Forgive my ignorance here.

No, because most banking apps call upon the Google Play Integrity API, which GrapheneOS doesn't (or can't?) use. There's a decent list kicking around of which ones work (Monzo, for instance).

While on the subject, does anybody know any good ad-blocking solutions for mobile phones?

So far I have experimented with NetShield from ProtonVPN and https://nextdns.io/ with varying results. There are also features baked into certain browsers like the cookie blocker with DuckDuckGo which works extremely well, and UnTrap for Safari on iOS which allows for heavy Youtube web customisation.

Also, shout out to Playlet on Roku. A privacy focused YouTube proxy for the TV which blocks ads and even can identify sponsors, filler and credit segments and allow you to skip these.

I am not involved in any of these projects, I just think they're cool.

What's wrong with Roku? They have a few ads here and there but I've always found the interface to be super slick. And they aren't Google, so not as harmful to share my data with? (a big assumption, I know)

Hey bro, I saw your reply to my comment elsewhere asking if Revolut works on GrapheneOS. But I can't reply to it because the thread is locked.

Anyway, it does. https://privsec.dev/posts/android/banking-applications-compa...

Not sure if it's been missed or I'm an anomaly. But as a senior level software engineer who graduated in the 10s, with a wealth of experience, I too (like the juniors who get reported on) am struggling to get a new job. Either I'm just not as good as I think I am, or the barrier is ridiculously high for the next type of job I'm trying to achieve (high paying, product focused developer).

LinkedIn bothers me the least, even though it definitely has some of the highest level of cringe content. It's still a good tool to interact with recruiters, look at companies and reach out to their employees. The trick is blocking the feed with a browser extension.

Is it at all possible he has an Intel Mac from 2018 that he hasn't been able to upgrade yet, likely due to insane cost?

Because that's my thing

This. Xamarin is MAUI. Xamarin was founded in 2011, acquired by Microsoft in 2016 (a year after Flutter was created).

https://untrap.app/ for YouTube customisation has been a lifesaver for me. It can even be added to Safari as an extension, for £2.99.

Also UBlock Origin for blocking specific elements on the screen is a lifesaver for reading articles or tutorials.

Apple really cares about my privacy, or they tell me they do and I believe them.

GrapheneOS.

I don't use Google login any where and have a lot of accounts with many different websites? Youtube and other Goolag ecosystem being the exception, but, of course they are?

I'm curious why you need a phone for banking at all, at home as you say. Wouldn't a laptop suffice? Granted, not all banks have a web app these days

Tech people? I have met utter goons obsessed with porn that barely understand how their phone actually works.

Am I the only person who hasn't found the time, money, permission from work, resources, etc to be able to produce software like this? I'm still at my corporate 9-5 where they're still making the decision on whether we're allowed to use copilot yet.

What I've never understood is, how is this an issue with private repos? Aside from open source projects I can't see the problem with accidentally doing this, even though it is a smell.

Heads up, your Google doc appears to be private

I'm looking for a native Android position with the possibility of doing iOS also or Kotlin Multi Platform.

I have a tonne of experience working on native Android projects of my own, and contributing to open source projects. My career has mostly been in the Microsoft mobile space - Xamarin and MAUI. Sometimes recruitment don't see that this has given me a huge exposure to native code with the native bindings for these platforms.

I'm hugely interested in security and privacy and I'm hoping my next role involves these areas.

Above all else, as the resume says, I'm looking for a company that is trying to build high quality software and putting the user first.

Thanks for reading!
