A very nice list. I believe the entire Simple Mobile project has been forked to preserve the brilliant apps before their new owner completely butchers them. However, I don’t have a link handy right now.

I kinda hope Anonymous might take a shot at Elon at some point. They are pro-Ukraine.

Of course! You’re completely right. The emerald mine was what got him started. My mistake.

We’re not the ones who made him what he is. Most of his money came from his family’s emerald mines in Africa. Correction: The emerald mine is just what made him rich in the first place.

Most of the money came from government either in subsidies, or defense contracts for Starlink; and tesla’s inflated stock that is not based in reality.

Already have. Just have a look at some of the other comments.

1. Does it? Fuck!
2. Good point. I guess it’s maybe then just the thought that counts.

Yeah, I was thinking that. The bad guys probably aren’t exactly known for obeying the law.

Still, I guess it’s the thought that counts. Also, it would be funny for some dictator to be put on trial and have to answer to NATO, the UN, their own country, and then just this 17-year-old hobbyist calling themself Hellfire103.

I’m rebasing the license on the Apache License 2.0.

Got it. First time I’ve written a license.

But does the license do that? It’s not discriminating against groups, it’s discriminating against actions.

   a. You may not use this software, or any derivative works based on it, for any activities that promote or incite violence, hate, discrimination, or harm towards individuals or groups based on race, religion, gender, nationality, or any other characteristic.

I know it’s not free, but are you sure about that last one?

I said in the comment that it’s not free. It’s still open, though, AFAIK.

I thought it was still open; just not free/libre?

Thanks!

PeerTube is safe, with odd exceptipns. Most instances have completely blocked the porn instances, and NSFW-tagged videos often have the titles and thumbnails blurred.

You can find far dodgier stuff on YouTube.

I don’t give a flying fuck about whether I’m using Gecko or WebKit. Both are open-source.

As for why I’m using Firefox over Safari, it gives me better tracking protection than vanilla Safari, it allows me to use SearXNG, and it means I can set a custom homepage. Also, for some reason, Safari has no private mode on my phone.

Not to mention that Mozilla is working on a Gecko-based version of the browser, as Apple is being forced by the EU to allow sideloading, third-party app stores, and third-party browser engines.

Use ADB to remove Google and Samsung bloatware and tracking. Ask around for help.

You should be able to use Heimdall to unlock the bootloader, but there isn’t currently a build of LineageOS or DivestOS for this phone, so unfortunately you cannot yet flash a custom ROM (AFAIK). However, rooting should work if you need this (although it can hurt your security a bit).

I’d recommend removing Google Play Services and replacing it with microG, although this may be complicated.

The best solution, however, is probably to exchange the phone for a more versatile model, such as a Google Pixel or a Fairphone.

I don’t like Brave as a company. Brendan Eich is an arsehole, Brave Browser has had (minor, but numerous) controversies, their crypto stuff is off-putting, and now they’re sticking their new AI into everything.
