Here’s a story where people working for Apple got access to audio recorded during seemingly unwanted times like during sex.

But I imagine these people were enabling voice recording in the first place. I trust my phone not to record if I disable those features (though sometimes they make this difficult).

I think Apple is generally better about this stuff then other companies though? Since they actually went to court to protect e2e encryption.

it’s only the open source part? normally, google injects proprietary code into phones, usually through “google play services”? idk I’m just kinda a hobbyist

we accidentally windows 12

i mean… you can also just look around and see the guy with the dorky out-of-place classes…

have you needed to use microG for any apps? is it a sufficient replacement for google play?

destroying books seems like a pretty tame problem to me when other companies are doing things like starting wars, getting people addicted to drugs, or destroying our democracy.
