I just want to say the only reason I didn't donate sooner were:

  1. I needed a friendly reminder (the lemmy post was that reminder for me) because life got busy
  2. I didn't know that Lemmy didn't already generate enough to cover the costs of two developers

I couldn't be happier to donate! The work you're doing is amazing! It's helped me kick my 15 year long reddit addiction & reminded me of the original promise of the Internet

The best part is when it shoots holes in the wall for more mice to enter through

Definitely not the preference of every vegetable in the garden. But for the ones that are into it I'm sure it's a peak experience

Samuel Beckett memes were not on my bingo card for today

Holy shit guys. I need to get my security clearance!

As a trans person please stop. You're not helping & are being underhandedly misogynistic.

You need to stay away from feminism and enby activism entirely until you've humbled yourself and seriously sat with how problematic this take is.

You're not helping anybody with that. Least of all enbies/trans people. And not just because it makes us look bad either, though that's certainly part of it.

I'm sorry, what?

It's women-centered because it's "against patriarchy"... not because it's witchy. And they are trans & queer inclusive as well.

Unfortunately that international pressure appears to be disintegrating before our eyes...

I don't know, it seems pretty normal to sometimes have a platonic friend or family member in my room?

I don't wanna be like "no stay out" sometimes I want advice on what to wear or a second pair of eyes to look for something.

Also, some people live in studio apartments... or have kids...

There is no fucking way I'm keeping a bedside table like that. Specifically a bedside table.

How the hell am I gonna show people my room politely with vibrators, lube, condoms, rope, spanking paddles, rope & a hitachi wand hanging out fuck all that lol

Yeah that part.

 

Hi all!

Newbie here on a privacy journey. My current objective is to create a cute little phone that limits tracking by surveillance capitalists, law enforcement, & the state.

That said, the stakes are not particularly high here. I just miss the world I grew up in & find the call of freedom enticing. So this is more of a hobby project for me to be able to put my main phone down and experience a world without tracking again.

So far I have installed GrapheneOS on my old phone. I'm absolutely in love with it and I'm 100% sold on one day even migrating my main phone to it. But thats not my main concern today.

For now, I have some questions related to SIM cards.

I understand that in order to avoid device number leaks (if that's something one cares about) it's important to not have a SIM card in the device and keep it on airplane mode.

However, years before privacy ever mattered to me I already had a SIM card and two eSIMs in this phone. And all of the advice I read talks about NEVER putting a SIM card in, but I have a hard time thinking critically about what that really means for those of us who ALREADY had one in.

If I remove that SIM card and eSIM and carry on using the phone, what are the privacy implications of such a choice?

Likewise, if I leave the SIM cards in but keep the phone on airplane mode is it really all that bad?

I assume at minimum this means that the IMEI number is stored somewhere in some cell tower logs. If the state were to seize my phone they could I suppose link the phone to things I did with my phone or accounts I used back before privacy mattered to me.

But are there other implications as well? Is this phone forever going to leak a connection to my old activity even if I remove the SIM cards, leave it on airplane mode, use a VPN and ensure it never falls into bad hands?

Thanks!
