honestly I doubt it’ll do anything but it can’t hurt to try

…we can do both…

This is unbelievably cursed lol

Did you end up setting up encrypted email? I briefly looked into that but was talked out of it for various reasons (other email providers not trusting yours, security, uptime, etc.)

I do have Proton, but I’m heavily considering other options.

I’d rather they just say they cancelled it if they did. Aside from their sporadic focus, the lack of transparency in their progress is killing me here.

Proton is company-personified of the engineer who loves working on new features, but hates fixing bugs. That’s how you get insane tech debt and unhappy customers.

WTF is proton doing? There’s still open issues with their basic products?

Is futurism usually this trash?

Building a linux phone: do you mean from scratch, or just installing one of the Linux phone OS’s that already exist?

I’ve been following Ubuntu Touch for several years now and, while they have made a lot of progress, its main hurdles have the same thing in common: mobile hardware is incredibly locked down. For example, Ubuntu Touch uses proprietary Android drivers for many low level functions. Even then, there’s some features that aren’t stable across all devices, like VOLTE.

It sucks, I really want to use Ubuntu Touch (or any of the Linux alternatives) but I can’t make phone calls or text in the US without VOLTE support. There are a few phones that support VOLTE, but the feature is either in beta, the phone is expensive, or the phone is not sold in the US.

Anyways bringing that back to Graphene: In my case, I’m using this as a stopgap until Linux phones take off (assuming they ever do). For now I guess the best thing is to just be skeptic, keep things minimal, and bloat-free.

Ok. Which ones, and why?

Edit: I can see the 5 and 7 year support, but what about the rest of the list?

There are many technical reasons why: https://grapheneos.org/faq#future-devices

Every Android phone (besides Pixel) fails to meet the high technical requirements of the project.

Sadly true in any situation that requires talking to anyone else.

Laughs in Graphene

She*, as it says in the article

I mean yeah. What other country is this batshit crazy about privatizing everything while preaching neoliberalism?

I keep noticing people in this thread recommending UBlock Origin, with others replying that they eventually got a popup to turn off their adblocker.

This is usually followed by replies mentioning they just click X (or add a UBlock filter on the popup), and go on with watching Youtube. No problem, right?

According to Ublock Origin’s Redd*t Post, that is just the first warning stage; eventually the presentation of their anti-adblock message becomes more intrusive until you receive the “The in-player message. Playback is stopped.”

I should know. I get that message on any Youtube video (while logged in), and it doesn’t go away for several hours.

That said, my workaround (extremely hacky) was to find the RSS feeds for all of my channel subscriptions, and then add them to FreshRSS. That section of my RSS feed essentially acts like a Youtube subscription page, but not tied to an actual account.

On my computer: I watch them in a private browser Firefox profile I’ve dedicated solely to Youtube (and has all of the extensions already installed, of course).

On Android: I watch them using NewPipe.

Edit: In addition, I store my “watch later” links using Linkding, which was easy to setup. While I do see reply suggestions on how to get rid of the popup, I think it’s better (for the long term) to have an independent way to consume Youtube. While Youtube currently implements a 4 stage system, they could always add another stage or make the current one more strict.

I think my approach requires more set up work (and probably introduces more friction) compared to reply suggestions, but overall is more resistant to future updates to Youtube’s nagging system.

Fair enough

Edit: Not sure if you’ll see this, but I agree with your viewpoint. I wonder if it’s the initial presentation (post lacking context) that causes mass downvoting? Without it, it looks like spam (although I don’t think this post is).
