I feel like people lately go a bit overboard when it’s about protecting their “data”.

As far as I see all it does is just send one single number that shows that there is someone using this specific operation system and it does not include any personal or unique to the user information.

In my opinion this does not even qualify as “my data”

It is explained here https://grapheneos.org/usage#web-browsing

They don’t explicitly mention Firefox but:

"Chromium-based browsers like Vanadium provide the strongest sandbox implementation, leagues ahead of the alternatives. "

and

"Chromium has decent exploit mitigations, unlike the available alternatives. "

Since I myself lack the knowledge and skills to judge this, I have to trust the word of the developers.

Edit, correction. They do mention Firefox

“Avoid Gecko-based browsers like Firefox as they’re currently much more vulnerable to exploitation and inherently add a huge amount of attack surface.”

Just as an example:

https://www.apple.com/icloud/find-my/

“Some devices can still send their location for up to 24 hours after they’ve been turned off or have low battery life.”

https://www.91mobiles.com/hub/exclusive-google-find-my-device-feature-phone-off

“Google began rolling out this feature as “Powered Off Finding” with the Pixel 8 series, letting users locate their phone even when it’s switched off by keeping the Bluetooth chip active.”

And those are only some of the official known possibilities

There is no such thing as “off” on modern Smartphones. Even if you power it down things like the baseband prozessor and bluetooth still stay active most of the time.

If the battery is integrated into device there ist no real way to completely shut this things down.

…virtual note takers? we don’t even write our own fucking notes anymore?..

edit:

Okay, okay, I get it :D AI indeed has some uses.

Isn’t RCS for the most part using Google services and servers? I don’t know if that really is that much better.

To my knowledge, the original idea to have RCS be operated by the mobile providers is pretty much dead.

That does not sound like anything that I ever encountered in Germany. waffle cone?

I mean many pizza places are run by turkish immigrants who sell pizza and turkish food in the same place, like Döner and Yufka. So maybe that is what you saw?

And what the hell is raw hamburger? you mean minced meat?

So basically discord finally got a usable search. I count that as a win.

I think a classic is appropriate at this point.

ROFL

One? Easely 10.

And I tried to open Lemmy to distract me from that fact. multiple times. I feel slightly ashamed.

A glue? To sniff it, like you obviously did?
