Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    • 5. 🇬🇧 Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. 🇬🇧🇦🇺🇺🇸
  • Comments written in other languages are allowed.
  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
    • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.
  • We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.
  • Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.
    •  

    Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

    did u mean mitigate* ?

    No, they want to migrate from usb-based exploits, to audiojack-based ones

    Graphene can shut it off at the hardware level, or just allow charging. It's slick.

    [–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

    I highly recommend graphene.

    And for anyone going to a protest to get a cheap burner and flash graphene, then leave your normal phone at home. You can swap phones on your plan pretty easily.

    Alternatively, for the very paranoid, go set up a prepaid and anon line and move your device there. Pay cash for the card and set it up online at a public library.

    Especially if you’re planning on a little civil disobedience.

    Just a reminder, if police think something is about to go down, they’ll spoof the tower and collect device information… including things like phone numbers so if your suddenly changing behavior to go somewhere and do something the fascists dickfucks in office won’t like… best be paranoid.

    A second device will still at least keep them from getting all your personal shit. And seriously, Don’t just turn off your normal phone. Leave it at home.

    GrapheneOS is too locked down, so unless you are in need of high security, it is not really the best experience

    [–] qaz@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

    It's not more locked down than iOS imo

    [–] SaltyIceteaMaker@lemmy.ml -1 points 2 months ago

    that is not a particularly high bar

    [–] pHr34kY@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

    You can permit absolutely everything and make it just as bad as the stock OS if you want to.

    [–] SaltyIceteaMaker@lemmy.ml -1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

    if that were the case i would still use it. however there was no way i could give Gadget-Bridge the "display over other apps" permission

    [–] ITGuyLevi@programming.dev 0 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

    I don't remember offhand, but I think that's buried in a restricted settings area... I needed it for something I can't remember now.

    Edit:

    Settings > Apps >Special app access > Display over other apps

    [–] SaltyIceteaMaker@lemmy.ml -1 points 2 months ago

    i looked in every sensible sub menu, and i could give other apps the permission, just not Gadget-Bridge. on lineageks it worked instantly
