Sure they should be allowing it, but anyone who cares about digital privacy and freedom that’s still using apple devices kinda deserves what they get at this point.

Nitrokey would probably be my choice as both the hardware and software are open source( in fact you could probably build your own if you wanted to). I don’t trust yubikey as the firmware that runs on them is closed source so you just don’t know of it’s actually secure.

Throw your phone out. Get a small librebooted laptop and use an android emulator for any apps.

I know it’s an unobtainable dream, but a banking app for every bank on any platform.

And you don’t think they wouldn’t use psychological torture like whiteroom torture, sleep deprivation, and many other types of non physical torture that you can look up (if you can stomach what some people put others through) on him. I honesty really hope they aren’t torturing the guy, but that doesn’t stop me from suspecting they probably are after how much trouble he caused them.

Dude this would kill the only reason I ever visit this site.

It doesn’t quite fit your fixed release requirement, but have you checked out void? It’s like arch, but has no systemd and it’s more stable then arch

Dude if he was getting tortured to death do you really think the government funded BBC would tell us about it🤣🤣🤣.

Everyone treats Edward Snowden like the hero he is only because he didn’t get caught and he left in time to not have a fake sexual misconduct charge slapped on him to sway public opinion.

This man leaked a bunch of the US intelligence agencies tools and techniques for spying on people, including spyware that hides in the firmware of an Apple thunderbolt Ethernet adapter.

Obviously the government hates this man and has done everything in their power to bring him down.

Seriously read into the CIA’s or NSA’s misconduct in the past( like giving anything that breathed LSD in the name of science, including people with mental illnesses and prisoners of war) and tell me these guys wouldn’t lie to the public because they don’t want all their dirt leaked. And after catching the person do something horrible to him for revenge and not tell anyone.

But at the same time I wouldn’t consider a random YouTube channel asking for money a credible source any more then I would consider government funded propaganda a credible source outside of sports news.

Seriously he’s right, the only stories you ever hear about this are from big repair places.

Louis Rossmann video here we come!

Currently in the process of switching to a degoogled OnePlus 5 which is only taking a long time because I’m having to find the right combo of system apps and replacements for googles apps which I’ve all but done.

Seriously if you’re trying to make a google free phone try LineageOS microG. It’s a spin on Lineage that gives you replacements for a lot of core apps like a location provider, and a load of other stuff you wouldn’t realise wasn’t in pure android.

Now all I need is a new battery and I have a FOSS( bar firmware, blobs, and magic earth, because no FOSS map app works well in the UK for me) phone.

But honesty I love this phone it’s just the right size and it still has touch buttons for home, back, and recent apps instead of on screen ones( which I kinda hate). Paired with dual cameras and a gorgeous 1080p OLED display.

And you want to know the best part?

It only cost me £50!

Seriously if you’re sick of modern phones and yern for the good old days this is a pretty great middle ground.

As someone who is also looking at building a server for different things then you( mainly nextcloud and a few other self hosted services). if you don’t need more then 2tb of storage look into a used HP mini office PC.

• They are cheap at less then £200 for an older model or even sub £100

• They are a lot more powerful then an SBC like a raspberry pi but without being an electricity consumption monster like a lot of servers

• Some have a 60W PSU so they are dirt cheap to run

• Newer ones have a 2.5 SATA slot and a M.2 slot( including the 60W model I’m looking at getting used). So you can have dual drives for a fast main drive and a backup drive or RAID depending on how you set it up

• They are small and don’t take up much room in your house like a raspberry pi

• If you need more space and it doesn’t have to be super fast you could get a USB NAS for it

So overall they are a really good option if you want something small and you don’t have a ton of money for hardware or electricity but a raspberry pi doesn’t fulfil your performance needs.

Obviously it’s wrong what he did and my sympathy goes out the the victim and their family, but man the haters are going to have a field day with this

I know! The alpha is more complete then most companies full releases!

You’ll probably want to report that to the devs. It is in alpha so there is a lot to add, fix, and tweak.

All you can hope is that some day they are forced to support 3rd party apps because of some anti monopoly lawsuit telling them they have too.

But good luck with that, Apple is very powerful and can probably just buy out the right lawyers and judges in that situation.

Or if they were forced to it would have an Apple twist on it like they get to approve the 3rd party app stores that are allowed or something.

Just get an Android phone you can put a custom ROM on and you’ll have a very good experience.

A desktop app would be nice, but I wouldn’t count on an IOS app, because I’m pretty sure this violates app store policies.

But it is an alpha so there’s still the chance they could make a desktop app later.
