Ah yes, security through obscurity. Great security pattern.

Here:

It has nothing to do with youth protection. It’s pure authoritarian shit.

So we’ll just start using piracy websites who don’t give a shit about this retardation ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

And then they’ll drop everything overnight, just like Pornhub did, because Visa/Mastercard is gonna say “nein”.

This works for me in Termux on Android. It produces 20-30s of silence, then starts playing the stream. There’s no way around those 20-30s probably, as the server limits the download speed for the stream.

Oh wow. It seems to be even worse than how GrapheneOS describes in their posts…

It won’t give you the same level of exploit protection as GrapheneOS on proper hardware does, but it’s ten times better than running any other OS on the very same hardware.

UPD: Just read through it, due to GSI, they’ve stripped almost all strongest protections from GrapheneOS. It probably still be more secure and private than any other OS given the same hardware (and obviously, assuming the code hasn’t been tampered with malicious intent).

Who would’ve thought…

If I convert my claude-code to pastafatianism, will it be able to cook spaghetti for me? Will it also pick up sauce recipes if I put them into the skills directory?

Their demo app is surprisingly good at rendering and processing all those monstrosities that webdevs create instead of websites. It still lacks polish, more complicated APIs, the browser tooling around the engine and so on, but I was still impressed when I tried it.

Being honest, I would be surprised if there wasn’t malware there. The whole Telegram platform is kind of a nesting ground for it.

The main problem is that people talking about systemd vs no-systemd again. Systemd is a framework, it’s the distro team who chooses whether to enable this brainrot or not. It may be using systemd and not use that feature from it or it may be not using systemd and still cave in for this idiocy.

DRM, game launchers and generally 3/4 of modern software overall are a security threat anyway.

That said, the best solution for all this problems is to never buy, pirate or play any DRMed crap. Let them choke on their greedy tech.

It’s russian spyware. Nothing else to be said.

It’s extremely clear to anyone who is not absolutely dumb that these installation restrictions have never been about addressing scams and malware but exclusively about enforcing control and ensuring their monopoly.

You won’t need to even do it in the first place if you upgrade your phone to GrapheneOS (or other non-gplay-forced-down-your-throat OS).
