Thanks, that looks good. It should work with the p20 pro, right? Maybe with a different WiFi chip, I'll look into it a bit more, but lineage and postmarketos being an option are way better than I was expecting 😀. Glad I asked now.

 

I have access to two phones that are no longer being used, a Huawei P20 Pro and a P30 Pro. Through a link on the PotatoNV git page I saw HCUClient which I believe makes it possible to unlock these phones and unlock the bootloader if I buy the software for €19 for 72 hours.

If I unlock the bootloaders, are there any privacy oriented ROMs available for them, or any options at all?

When I search, it seems that because of the bootloaders being locked, nobody had worked on anything, although some posts in random corners of the internet say that there are a couple of options, but without confirming anything.

Meta said in the announcement that the new features are built “in the most privacy-oriented way possible,” and has emphasized that sharing of data between WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook will only happen when users have opted in to having their accounts linked.

So, not private at all.. "most privacy-oriented way" - The same way that users need to activate "advanced chat privacy" manually on every single chat while they roll out and embed their bug ridden AI.

Realistically, the majority of people will not switch to threema @ €5.99. It's already extremely difficult to get people to leave WhatsApp. They're not going to pay for it.

Signal isn't EU based, but afaik not profiteering or harvesting data.

EDIT:

There are quite a few EU based according to this.

Here's a review that I thought was decent, from 4 months ago.

A quiet but deeply unsettling moment just shook the foundations of international justice, proving why Europe needs digital sovereignty - and most Europeans not too interested in tech likely missed it: The Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC), a court based in The Hague and central to Europe’s upholding of human rights, suddenly found that his email account was shut down. The service provider? Microsoft. The reason? Mr. Trump.....

Neyanyahu and all of those who take glee in torturing the poor people in Gaza. There are so many to arrest. The governments that have stood aside and let this happen should be held accountable too. Israel has used up it's pity credits long ago, and they had everything in their favour. True colours shining now.

Will do. I'm home in about 30 minutes and going to sit down and look at both. Thanks.

Thanks, didn't realise that they had a wallet. I know about the CEO, last I read (a while ago) he was trying to explain that it was a misunderstanding or taken out of context etc. Will have a look at it.

Thanks, yes I know revolut, but not sure they are easy to get your crypto out of. I have read lots of stories of people having a tough time getting their cash out. Many comparing them to robinhood app in the US.

No problem with them, I didn't realise that they were French, although they do seem fairly expensive.

[–] Babalugats@feddit.uk 1 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Thanks, will have a look at that.

Are there any good European crypto wallets? Hardware or otherwise. On Android or desktop or alternatives to Trezor or Ledger? I don't have a lot (€590 btc and €400 eth).

Looking to build on them and for secure storage. Thanks.

EDIT. Sorry, I also meant to add that I'm looking for a wallet with multichain support, so that for example I could convert my bitcoin to USDT or another stablecoin without having to go back an exchange.

What happened or what new revelation is there that everyone must delete now as opposed to weeks or months ago? I never have had an under account, just curious as to what may have changed.
