A backdoor in what, exactly?? Please do some research into the programs you’re running so you can base your opinions on that knowledge rather than vibes.

Still struggling to understand what makes it “dead.”

Careful, I heard one of the Heliboard devs kicked a puppy once. How dare you support such Evil software?!
/s because sadly that’s needed

Honestly getting tired of the purity tests. The alternatives are horrific. Google. Apple. Meta. So please find me the FOSS project that is perfectly free of sin which I’m allowed to support.
At this point it begins to feel as though this DDV is only here to write takedown pieces on projects not deemed pure enough for the cause.
FUTO hosted an interview once with a POS guy. Oh, the horror. Please help me understand what that has to do with the existence of a keyboard that isn’t spyware. Yeah no. I’ll keep supporting the working alternatives, you have fun using absolutely nothing because “What if one of the devs wasn’t a good person??!”

Same Apple and Google who’s CEOs were standing behind the dictator during his inauguration this year?
- Comment on Apple Banned an App That Simply Archived Videos of ICE Abuses 2 weeks ago:
I can’t think of a reason why, with client side scanning, they couldn’t in the near future implement a filter similar to this. Pictures and videos deemed “problematic” could magically disappear. And of course, your iPhone will send a helpful report to the local Gestapo branch. Eventually, “Sorry, network permission is required to run the camera app. You may not capture images of law enforcement activities per executive law. The camera will now be disabled until you comply.”

These phone pouches confuse me. They open with a simple magnet. Do they think kids don’t have access to magnets?
- Comment on From burner phones to decks of cards: NYC teens are adjusting to the smartphone ban 1 month ago:
Your comment is like the embodiment of one of those “Kids don’t know how to swipe a book like an iPad” boomerslop comics
- Comment on Trump's video on the shooting of Kirk appears to be AI 1 month ago:
The movements are all wrong. I think they’ve used AI to enhance the video and/or hide jump cuts.

Unfortunately a Fairphone is not a secure device.

Child slaves labored to make raw materials for the device you’re holding. Your purchase kept the market rate for raw materials high, encouraging the continued use of slave labor. Don’t you feel bad?
We do the best we can with the decisions we have available to us.

Easy. Refurbed phone. Google didn’t get a penny.

GrapheneOS is one of the last bastions of freedom remaining. I don’t know what we’ll do if that happens.

Israel does quite literally whatever it wants with zero repercussions, least of all from the US, its fattest cash cow.
- Comment on Duckstation(one of the most popular PS1 Emulators) dev plans on eventually dropping Linux support due to Linux users, especially Arch Linux users. 2 months ago:
They think it helps fight against AI scrapers. It doesn’t, but it does have the added benefits of making their comments harder to read and looking very silly.

This isn’t a backdoor, the bureau says.
"It isn’t a backdoor because we aren’t calling it one. We named the backdoor Lawful Access, so it’s that, not a backdoor.

Hence, if the data is not on someone else’s computer in the first place, it is not a matter of time.
- Comment on Apple Pulls Encrypted iCloud Security Feature in UK Amid Government Backdoor Demands 8 months ago:
The solution is to stop putting your data on other people’s computers. You can’t control other people’s computers. Apple does not care about you any more than any other trillion dollar corpo. Take back control.

Forgot to add one for “blasts,” only “blasted.” Now I’m replying from my inbox because the post will no longer load. I love keyword filters!

I added content filters for those silly words, no posts with them present appear for me anymore.

Do you believe that the affiliate scam only started when PayPal acquired Honey?
