Unfortunately LineageOS is highly insecure because there's no ability to lock the bootloader, and Android Verified Boot is completely missing. These are just the biggest and most obvious flaws in Lineage, but there are more: https://madaidans-insecurities.github.io/android.html#lineageos

It does. You can even try it out yourself. Install Ungoogled Chromium, go to google.com and paste the following code in the Developer console (which you can bring up by pressing F12 and clicking on 'Console' at the top of the DevTools interface):

    chrome.runtime.sendMessage(
      "nkeimhogjdpnpccoofpliimaahmaaome",
      { method: "cpu.getInfo" },
      (response) => {
        console.log(JSON.stringify(response, null, 2));
      },
    );

If it returns nothing or an error, you're good. If it returns something like this:

{
  "value": {
    "archName": "arm64",
    "features": [],
    "modelName": "Apple M2 Max",
    "numOfProcessors": 12,
    "processors": [
      {
        "usage": {
          "idle": 26890137,
          "kernel": 5271531,
          "total": 42525857,
          "user": 10364189
        }
      }, ...

it means that the hidden extension is present, and *.google.com sites have special access in your browser.

That's the way to go

I already ditched Windows for Linux a month ago because of spyware.

Great!

Everything Google-related is next.

Even better.

My phone is going to be the hardest thing to de-infest.

If you plan on getting a new phone soon, I recommend a Google Pixel, on which you can install GrapheneOS. Yes, ironically Google devices are the best for installing alternative operating systems and removing all the Google BS. GrapheneOS is completely free and open source, and based on the Android Open Source Project. It incorporates many privacy and security enhancements, and gives you total freedom and control over your device. In my opinion, it's the best option for degoogling a phone.

Chromium is also affected.

The previous answer is misleading and partially just wrong. Firefox Sync works just fine in LibreWolf, you just need to enable it in the settings. I currently sync my LibreWolf browser on my Linux desktop to Firefox on iOS and Mull on Android, no issues whatsoever. The only Mozilla services that LibreWolf intentionally removes are their telemetry and Pocket.

It is the same browser. LibreWolf doesn't change much of the Firefox code, mostly just the configuration. They enable various privacy/security settings by default and remove Mozilla telemetry. You can go to the LibreWolf settings and enable Firefox Sync, and it will work just fine with your Mozilla account and other Firefox browsers.

For Android, I like to use Mull, it's a hardened build of Firefox, similar to LibreWolf.

No, as far as I know this has nothing to do with attestation/verification for enterprise users.

[-] Andromxda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 5 days ago

Did you use normal chromium or Ungoogled Chromium? I tried it on the Arc Browser (which is based on Chromium), and it worked, but it didn't work on Ungoogled Chromium.

Let's hope for a good election in Germany next year 🙏

Hey guys,
I created this community to promote and talk about the UnifiedPush project. It aims to create a free and open source alternative to Google's proprietary Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM). Quite a few apps have already adopted the UP protocol, but there are still many FOSS apps lacking support for it. I will post GitHub issue threads where UP integration in FOSS apps is being discussed. I will also post about new apps that gained UnifiedPush support, and other useful tools that help with using UP. If you want to stay up-to-date about ongoing developments in the Android FOSS ecosystem in regards to push notifications, consider subscribing to !unifiedpush@lemmy.dbzer0.com

I also recommend following the official Mastodon account, joining the Matrix room and donating to support development!

so, about a month ago i stumbled upon the duckduckgo ai chat feature and wrote an article about how private their APIs are, and a few weeks after, a CLI client.

the thing is in a pretty mature stage now (its not like there is a lot of work to be done there tbh)

its not super private, but it is "private enough". the only thing duckduckgo has is your IP, which is usually not much unless you are on a residential connection with a dedicated IP

Hadn't seen this here yet, a co-worker of mine sent it my way so I'm just spreading the word. Looks interesting, to say the least! Anyone tried this out or had any other experience with it yet?
