       @swashberry @e_urq What are you trying to claim? That the left has as much anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric as the right? That Q-Anon is as pervasive on the left as the right? That the left has the same number of election deniers?Even if you look at the areas where the left has typically been more off in the weeds, like the anti-vaxxers, the right seems to have taken that as a challenge and made it their own.So what are you claiming is the actual situation?

       @Brantgaard @mjgardner Are you going to stop using e-mail as well? You shouldn't assume something provides complete privacy unless otherwise stated, at best you should think maybe you have complete privacy if something explicitly says it is end-to-end encrypted.

       @MishaalRahman AOSP is becoming the standard software for embedded devices.  Basically any reference hardware you get will have AOSP running on top of it.   I have seen it used for all kinds of things -- even stuff like the touch panel for a steam shower.  So seeing AOSP used somewhere is often just because that is what people use more and more as the base OS for devices.  (Basically becoming Windows CE, but free and open, so even more pervasive.)

       New Android Security Paper is out: https://blog.google/products/android-enterprise/android-security-paper-2023/One of the things I am really happy about is a new introduction that gives background on the security design of the first version of Android, which is still the foundation for Android's security today, and reasoning behind the approach Android took.We probably don't talk as much as we should about why various parts of Android are designed and operate the way to do, which leaves a big gap in understanding that design.

       @Wolven Note that this does not send your location data to Google, if that is what you are worried about: https://security.googleblog.com/2024/04/find-my-device-network-security-privacy-protections.htmlTotally understand wanting to turn it off if you desire, but I think it can be argued it is fairly safe with your data.

       @dan131riley @regehr Yeah I feel like we are reaching the culmination of the transformation of the tech industry that started with the dot-com boom, and likewise the Republican Party is reaching the culmination of its transformation that started with the Regan alliance between the wealthy business leaders and Religious Right.

       @GrapheneOS @felis_catus_domesticus @seyfr @kamatahvel @Tutanota Thanks. :)  Also worth mentioning that AOSP is explicitly designed to be an open-source OS that Google stuff sits on top of.  So even on a GMS device, Google's proprietary code does not run as part of the core OS(*), but rather in sandboxed apps controlled by the OS.  (Though anything pre-installed can get privileged permissions, these are restricted in scope and you can audit all of those capabilities.)(*) Excluding drivers.
