I used to like his content and still like Surveillance Report but Henry always talks about how Apple is so private and a good option for an OS ecosystem. It’s closed source, it looks like they (Apple) push “privacy” so they can have a monopoly on the data, and are anti consumer in many ways. Now his push for Synology has been growing.
Seems like he takes the easy way out with privacy. I understand life is busy (as he mentions a lot) but in order to make positive change you have to believe in and follow values that give power to open source tech and not the giants who steal your data, monetize you, and are in bed with the government
1·2 days agoI really enjoy the Gulikit King Kong Pro 2 (and would assume the 3 is better) because it all runs on firmware. No software to install, it just works as it should. Also works on Linux without fuss.
On its functionality side it has hall effect triggers and joysticks plus nice buttons.
I have Earthbound on my new Retro DMG but haven’t played it yet. Thanks for referencing the ROM hack, I’ll play that one instead as it seems like a vanilla + experience
32·6 days agoThis guy has an interesting perspective on that topic. He provides good points on how what you’re saying could be wrong
I don’t know of a guide but I’d suggest making a new anonymous account (email and privacy card) but make sure it’s created while using a VPN (for that initial IP log) and then continue to use it on a VPN (don’t forget DNS in general too). Then be sure to be on Linux and use the Flatpak as it’s a sandboxed application. I read a thread about viruses in a Proton environment and how they can still access other parts of your system so there may be a weak point in the sandbox with Proton, but I’m no expert and have little knowledge on the subject.
2·8 days agoI did and got the same results unfortunately. Good to know though, thank you
I enjoy PC as I can emulate classic console, DOS, etc. games too. My OS of choice is Linux
Everything. Data breaches/leaks happen all the time. The more these companies have to admit what happened and be shamed and fined the more they will care about security for their customers.
To add to this I’d also pay attention to the Android version that the OS is based on. Last I checked e/OS is a few versions outdated. GrapheneOS works very very well, you (OP) just have to understand how to set it up for your use case.
I agree. I don’t know why people believe Apple and their privacy fasaude. There is plenty of evidence to show they’re a monopoly on the data to make all the money for themselves, as well as closed source means you can’t trust or verify anything they claim.
Fairly decent advice in my opinion
“Best” is subjective. I like Signal because it has a great modern UI so I can pretty easily get non techy/privacy people using it.
I use it on my phone and my wife’s. I would like to get a Pixel tab too with Graphene. There is no other phone OS like it and it’s open source. I have had Lineage on an old phone and on a tablet currently and while it’s nice, GrapheneOS just works amazingly. I’ve also briefly tried Calyx but it had various small issues that Graphene doesn’t.
Add the FUTO repo and you can download it on fdroid
Very nice

Did you sign up with a VPN turned on? Are you always using a VPN and private DNS? You could also use a voice changer.
Tomb Raider: Anniversary. The classic games are so much better than new ones.
Thank you. I clearly need to prioritize learning more about ports. I have had little time to try fixing this issue (hence why this comment is so late) but figured out it was VPN related. My phone’s VPN was blocking connection. After enabling local network bypass another SMB entry appeared with the accurate IP, if required me to only enter my username and then it connected fine.
