Apart from privacy coins like Monero, it’s all traceable

A pizza for 10,000 bitcoins no less, must be the most expensive pizza in the world lmao

How is dark chocolate so high? :o

This is complete utter propaganda, especially considering it’s coming from the BBC. History has shown us time and time again that the ruling class never gives up its power peacefully.

No but Reddit sucks.

Yes and ban Meta too.

I feel like a broken record at this point, but putting LineageOS on it still doesn’t fix the issue of no driver and firmware updates and you sacrifice secure boot, which makes the whole thing not worth it imo.

At least go for DivestOS which does support secure boot whenever possible. Even then, there’s no making an end of life phone secure. You can only do harm reduction.

Don’t use Lineage. It doesn’t even have secure boot. DivestOS would be a better option but keep in mind, there’s no making an end of life phone secure. All you can do is mitigate, like putting a bandaid on a bullet wound.

Tldr save up for a new phone and use DivestOS in the meantime for harm reduction only.

In the case of LineageOS which doesn’t even support secure boot, I’d argue no. You may have a look at DivestOS though. Keep in mind no matter what you do, there’s no making an end of life device secure. You can only do harm reduction. Basically putting a bandaid on a bullet wound.

That’s not a real solution since you’ll still miss out on driver and firmware updates. Worst of all, installing Lineage gets rid of secure boot. Which needless to say, isn’t secure.

Two years worth of known security vulnerabilities is VERY significant. That’s literally hundereds of them, at least.

Not justifying this in any way but the S9 hasn’t received security updates in ages. It’s the phone equivalent to still running Windows XP, it’s a major security risk. You should upgrade to some newer phone. Personally I like the Pixels since you can run GrapheneOS which definitely doesn’t have any ads and the newest models get updates for 7 years.

Tolerance for intolerance leads to intolerance. If you call that authoritarian, be my guest.

Make it illegal for politics to be based around religion or ethnicity. Also, I’d make capitalism illegal just like nazism.

That’s factually incorrect ever since GrapheneOS started offering sandboxed play services. This makes it more secure on top of that. Both Calyx and MicroG have security issues that aren’t present in GrapheneOS.

I can’t recommend this enough. Been using GrapheneOS for the past 3 years and been happy with it ever since. No issues whatsoever and works just as well as the stock OS. Granted, it has less features but I like the minimalist approach.
