It's easy: https://search.brave.com/

And you also get privacy. Nobody should use Google.

This isn't exactly relevant, but something I like about T3 code is that they'll fix stuff quickly that anthropic or open ai mess up in their harnesses.

TLDR: GraphenOS is still secure, the last time they were able to exploit it in after first unlock was in 2022, which is the same, they reported in the last leaked docs were in 2024, if I remember correctly.

It's funny that they supposedly can't do full file system when unlocked.

Although with how fast things are moving, I would still recommend anyone that has law enforcement their threat model to use a 6 word or longer random passphrase for their primary unlock.

These docs show that if you have basically any other Android phone, then a long randomly generated passphrase and turning the phone off so it's in BFU before it was seized would be essential to prevent access. Because they can all be extracted and brute forced, due to missing a secure element or it being exploited.

It's a nice usability improvement for people worried about physical security for phones to have effective protections even in afu.

As a community member I can also attest to this. After I gave Other8026 more details about my app and background I shared on the forum, they restored my thread.
That's what I said.
Government surveillance is much worse than corporate surveillance but European countries are only interested in restricting the latter, and only when it doesn't get involved with preventing the former.

AmazonUK now requires ID and a selfie for "bladed items": https://discuss.privacyguides.net/t/amazon-uk-now-requires-p...

The UK is ranked as one of the least free countries for digital freedom: https://eylenburg.github.io/countries.htm. Worse than India, Brazil, and Vietnam.

It's not slop.
Monero or Cash.
And then if you offer to sell it to someone, they could blackmail you unless you give it to them for free or cheaper.

It would have been more impressive with a human in the car during some of the stunts.

I would guess they're less of an asshole than someone driving a cybertruck, though.
