True. This is why the general recommendation is typically to buy used. That way, they don’t get additional revenue from the sale of a new phone, and it also decreases e-waste.
(Sure, the revenue may be a drop in the bucket, but it’s still something.)
How did you pull Mull into Obtanium? When I paste the GitLab URL into Obtanium, it says that there’s no APK found.
Synology Photos. I’ve heard Immich is quite good too.
Only one thing is abundantly clear: you don’t want your communications in the clutches of Big Tech.
Who doesn’t like an underdog? 😤
For some people it’s easy, for others it isn’t, and/or they’re afraid of messing it up.
This is the secondary reason why I created SwapMyOS, a GrapheneOS installation service that kicks back a percentage of every order to the GrapheneOS nonprofit to keep it funded.
Primary reason was to keep GrapheneOS alive and funded.
I got someone to use Signal recently, because I don’t text outside of it. Last week, she asked me why that is. I sent this Bruce Schneier essay on the eternal value of privacy to someone who knows absolutely nothing about tech, and she understood.
I’m gonna try it again next time it comes up with someone else. I think this essay does a really good job of putting it into perspective, so I’m hoping this is the silver bullet I can continue to send when someone asks.
Overall, in general, I try to keep it in real world terms. Why do you close the door when you go to the bathroom? Why do you lock your doors? Why do you have curtains/blinds? etc., along with what some other intelligent people responded here.
I think about this Jaron Lanier talk a lot.
Risk it for the biscuit
Maybe a good idea for a blog post, but the general gist is this:
The messages will get delivered to your Mac, and then forwarded to your phone via AirMessage or BlueBubbles.
Signal for everything.
There are a couple people who are too lazy to get Signal, and they got iPhones, so I set up an iMessage server to forward messages to my GrapheneOS phone.
But the communication there is extremely sparse and surface level. It’s basically just a touch point. The real conversations all go through Signal.
I would if I could, but I built it without writing code. So there’s nothing to upload to GitHub/GitLab.
The page asking for your email simply serves as the delivery mechanism since I can’t put it on GitHub/GitLab.
If you wanna keep your bookmarks and the subreddits (communities) that you’re subscribed to before deleting your account, I made a free tool to help you store and offload that data.
It’s called Reddit Account Manager, and it’s 100% free.
You can also use it to manage your Lemmy account(s), of course.
I’d love to, but I can’t—it’s built without writing code.
The closest I can get to “open sourcing” it is freely allowing everyone to clone it and modify it as they see fit, but limited to the platforms I built it on (Notion, Coda, Airtable, Baserow, etc.).

I love the Fair movement
Everyone I communicate with regularly uses Signal, so Signal when it’s needed. But it’s very rare.
For work, Jitsi. Also Whereby.
Jitsi’s the easiest cause you can just pop it open and start using it without registration. And the rooms you use are deleted after some amount of days (can’t remember exactly how many days).
