Yeah no thanks, I don’t want to vastly increase my attack surface because thousands upon thousands of spam/sock puppets accounts can now invade anything that uses ActivityPub for federation.

He’s probably the greatest American charlatan since John Brinkley.

I should probably put this on the GitHub issue tracker, but a great feature would be a shared banlist by category. This would allow crowd sourcing the banning of spammers across any Lemmy instance that wanted it.

One of the problems I see with it is there would probably need to be some kind of source of truth, which could get a little “authoritarian”.

I get that moderation decisions in the GOS Matrix Space can be heavy-handed, and the accusations of raiding/sock puppets are thrown around too liberally, but you’re doing the exact same thing.

Prove what? I have an entire section in my guide “CRITICAL FOR CLIPBOARD, LOCATION AND OTHER APP FUNCTION BLOCKING”. I have had it since 3.0 guide for more than a year now.

That is not proof. You need to show your work.

Show me the logcat logs on a phone with non-sandboxed Google Play Services and AppOpsX. Prove to me that GPS cannot access app data for other apps on a non-sandboxed, AppOpsX “hardened” phone. Then, show me that GrapheneOS doesn’t properly sandbox GPS.

Hell, prove that one feature on GrapheneOS is bullshit and I will be incredibly surprised.

If you can’t do that, you are absolutely, unequivocally spreading FUD, and have zero idea what you are talking about.

Everybody knows many apps cannot work as intended without Play Services or microG. And thus GrapheneOS now has “sandboxed play services” which basically took ZERO time to develop.

…I don’t even see what point you could possibly be trying to make here. And again, you have no proof how long it took GOS/Daniel to develop the sandboxed GPS suite.

the “sandboxed play services” thing was something I did more than a year ago, and taught people with the 3.0 guide already. Those “high privileges” mean nothing compared to changing package permissions via AppOpsX via ADB commands. There goes the “highly privileged” thing down the drain.

Prove it.

The reality of “sandboxed play services” is that GrapheneOS just wanted to do marketing because everybody is moving away to CalyxOS for retained app functionality over what end up as a useless security ROM practically.

Prove it.

Also, nice promotion to moderator position after my harassment… are those the "community standards)?

What are you talking about?

zero citations about my comments or posts

There are literally two screenshots of your comments in the original post on /r/PrivacyGuides.

regarding AOSP’s VPN killswitch feature

Apparently you’re just sticking your head in the sand and refusing to admit you’re wrong.

First, the moderators on a public internet forum for an online privacy community came for an overly sensitive spreader of FUD, who complained about the way a different community was run and had no technical evidence that the second community’s free and open source software didn’t respect the privacy and security of it’s end users, and I did not speak out, because I was not an overly sensitive spreader of FUD, who complained about the way a different community was run and had no technical evidence that the second community’s free and open source software didn’t respect the privacy and security of it’s end users.

Do you not understand the difference between a community member and a developer?

Nothing you have posted proves any kind of sock puppeting, though I’m sure you’ll just reply to my comment with the same links you just posted and screaming that they are evidence, while not being able to verbalize your argument at all.

Graphene batteries

Even if you run your own instance, it still sends data to the main homeserver.

…That’s how federation works. You think my Lemmy instance isn’t sending data to lemmy.ml when I’m subscribed to a dozen communities on lemmy.ml? If you don’t want your home server to share data with matrix.org, then don’t federate with it.

The writer of libremonde created a hostile fork (‘The Grid’), and hasn’t really updated the “research” in over two years (not including room links, the README.md, and some typos). Three whole sections in “Part 2” now begin with:

NOTE: This section is incomplete and originally supposed to be completed with a detailed analysis. The COVID pandemic put a halt to those plans sadly. We won’t finish these sections or add more content.

I’ve been donating $5/month to tulir (https://github.com/tulir), who makes the mautrix Matrix bridges as well as maubot.

This is still true in the US as well.

Yeah I’m just manually banning at this point. It’s whack-a-mole, but it applies the ban across all communities on my home server, which is nice.

15%-ish in south-central Wisconsin, own the home. Just got our tax bill, taxes actually went down this year, which is quite the surprise for our county and school district.

On your Lemmy instance, hit the Search icon, then post a full direct user of a community/user you want to look at (https://lemmy.ml/c/announcements), or a post you want to comment on (https://lemmy.ml/post/89740). Look in your logs and you should see some activity.

If you want to get updates for a Lemmy community, you have to subscribe to it.

What’s the point of using social news aggregation if you can’t share news?

Nice.

Right, my apologies, didn’t mean to imply the only 2 options are self hosted and unprivate dog shit. 😄
