I was imagining something like this in hexbear or lemmygrad, as people there seemed quite dogmatic at times, but even on Lemmy.ml? Sad to see this, as I had mostly positive interactions there till now
If you want to be sure you cant be tracked, monitored, spyed on, and calls can't be intersepted:
Don't ever connect it to WiFi and don't insert a sim card.
Graphene or not, your ISP can still share your position or other meta data with government and stuff (in the us they can also be forced to not tell you) - in some countries they legally sell to third party's, in some probably illegaly
Calls are normally not encrypted so the os doesn't matter as much if its the government who can force your ISP or if someone is skilled enough for a Man in the middle attack.
Android is a highly complex system, it will never be 100% safe.
If you just want to decrease spying by companies and less powerful people:
Use neo store or fdroid (no google play or aurora) as all apps there are Foss
Don't install gapps or any other google services/packages
Use shelter for less trusted apps
Use netguard to block apps from accessing the internet
Physically block your cameras
If you want to be absolutely sure no one is recording audio: destroy mics with a needle and connect headset only when you need it
To only use communication apps which are encrypted and you hold the keys should be not needed to be said: matrix, signal, element, xmpp are good, (telegram (normal chats), Facebook, WhatsApp etc is a no go)
First of all Linux isn't a company, but the name some dude named Linus gave his code he put for free on the internet.
Most modern Linux distros are still not run by companies, that's why they don't force the data collection, ads, ai etc down your throat.
That said: Linux is made from thousands of interlocking programs, scripts, services and libraries, made mostly by some guys or gurls in their free time. So with a lot of stuff you need to fit it to your needs, as granular customization is to troublesome to have working out of the box for every different usecase there could be. So with most stuff you should not be afraid to learn the basics of terminal commands (packet manager, editor, foldermanagment)
Some OS like Ubuntu and manjaro do a lot for you, but if you have weird double monitors, you may need to manually do some stuff.
If you want as much as possible easy install options I would go with manjaro - then you can install everything where users made an AUR (arch user repository) package. Check if they have all programs you want, if not look for alternatives.
If you want a more stable system but with a bit less possibilities, go for Ubuntu, debian, popOS or something like that.
Some things may never run, for example for my music daw(ableton) with low latency and not native support on Linux or the htc vive wireless (where there isn't a driver for the PCI card for Linux) I keep a win machine around. Day to day use is on debian on my side
Edit: got told by the kind folks in the community that this is expected and the sentence "can access position while in background" actually just means: will ask you for the permission to access the position from the background but only does so, if you allow it" - that's what I figured, but now im sure. Thanks for the clarification everyone!
Hey guys n gurls,
I recently learned about exodus, and installed it to check my apps. While exodus shows some apps (like bike computer for reference) are allowed to track my position (quite logically).
The strange thing: in system settings it says seeing position is not allowed.
Does this mean that the app wants those permissions but I don't granted them? Or are my system settings bricked? Is this because of lineage? Is this expected?
Would greatly appreciate someone who understands this a little bit more to explain :)
P.S: Is (the tracker part of) exodus even useful when i already use neo store which shows known tracker? Is this maybe even the same database?

Leute das ist n rechter troll. Ich bin auch erst drauf reingefallen und hab ernsthaft argumentiert, aber der schreibt Sachen wie:
"Migranten begehen viel mehr Straftaten und sind deswegen ein Problem"
https://lemmy.world/comment/5006532
Und doubled noch down https://lemmy.world/comment/5007576
Dass das vlt. Daran liegt das arme Leute immer krimineller sind weil sie es nötiger haben als Südstadt SUV Fahrer, oder weil Migranten nicht arbeiten dürfen kommt ihm nicht in den Sinn.
Dieses "die Ausländer kriminell" Argument wurde schon so oft widerlegt, wer sowas heute noch benutzt tut das aus Kalkül, nicht aus Naivität.
Opfert nicht zu viel Zeit, der versucht bloß Kapazitäten zu binden
Ja das gleichzusetzen wäre Quatsch Aber Satire dahingehend zu machen ist nicht das gleiche wie das ernsthaft zu behaupten.
Und zu dem "das ist Volksverhetzung, ihr habt keine ahnung, ich muss euch mal bilden":
Die afd ist in Hessen mittlerweile Oppositionsführer.
In meinem Wahllokal ist die afd zweitstärkste kraft, es gibt immer wieder Übergriffe durch Nazis, ich traue mich mittlerweile als alternativ aussehender Mensch nicht mehr alleine abends raus zu gehen, weil Freunde zusammengeschlagen wurden (von rechten/Nazis/afdlern, nenn sie wie du willst, es bleiben gewaltbereite autoritäre Faschisten.)
Mehrere Soziologen sehen zunehmend faschistische Merkmale in der deutschen Politik, auch bei den ampelparteien.
Ja, wir sind noch nicht da wo wir 33 waren, aber die Entwicklung der letzten Jahre zeigt aus Politikwissenschaftlicher Sicht beängstigend viele parallelen zur frühen nsdap Zeit.
Klar, Scholz ist nicht Hitler, natürlich nicht, dass weiß auch jeder der das satirisch behauptet.
Es ist aber leider auch nicht so, dass diese satirische überspitzung völlig aus der Luft gegriffen ist.
So seither i embaress myself everytime i shit or nothing happens?
I'm German and that is bullshit. Never heard of mäusespeck, everyone just calls them marshmallows and they are labeled as marshmallows in the store
EDIT: I was made aware that the Problem seems be that im not a boomer. 30 years ago, when i wasnt alive, they seemed to be called this. In my WG there are people over 30 though and they also never heard of this (hessen)
Making the basic rules like Active moderation against racism, sexism, homophobia and transphobia should be a no brauner. Pls add this rule
As the Title says, i am wondering if there is a way to have the pictures big enough that i can see them without clicking on them in my feed. At the Moment it looks like shown in the picture above
Offtopic: can anyone tell me how to post/ crosspost in multiple communities at once?
Agree with you in general, but I think a lot if people here are not really informed what differences there are materialistic ideologies.
Yes, Stalin bad.
But Guevara is not Stalin.
Marx is not che
Engels is not Marx
China is not communist.
Marxism is not materialism
Socialism is not communism
Also the amount of people bringing the "the 3 times people tried socialism were bad, so the whole ideology must be bad" argument are way to high IMHO.
How many times was capitalism tried? How many times it worked out? Is the USA a "functioning" state with all the oppression, racism, greed, invading other countries out of monetarian interest and environment destruction?
While I agree with you, that oppression is bad, no matter what the oppressor calls himself, we should talk about policies without resorting to dogmas and generalising people in favor of fear the hegemonic class is propagating to stay in power.
This is a repost (but hopefully New in this site)
Beating the far right? Dude they are second strongest here in Germany, had massive gains and I live in fear I will see the second German fascism soon.
What the guck do you mean beating them?
