Redoomed, to privacyguides in You Need to Turn on Apple’s New Stolen iPhone Tool

Turning on the iPhone’s Stolen Device Protection is simple—it’s just one small toggle in your phone’s settings.

There is one crucial detail that the article doesn’t mention: Find My iPhone must be enabled to enable SDP. That is to say, enabling Find My (along with biometric authentication) is a prerequisite for SDP.

Redoomed, (edited ) to privacyguides in What's the best strategy for changing to GrapheneOS?

The official GrapheneOS Twitter account states the complete opposite on several occasions:

nitter.net/GrapheneOS/status/1692002070650335259#…

Many people have the misconception that they’re defeating the purpose of GrapheneOS by using privacy invasive apps but in fact the opposite is true. If you want to use those apps, then using GrapheneOS allows you to protect your privacy from them far better than another OS.

GrapheneOS arguably makes the biggest difference for someone who is going to be using a bunch of mainstream apps including very privacy invasive ones. They need features like Storage Scopes and Contact Scopes more.

You’ll substantially benefit from our privacy and security features without making significant changes to your apps. In fact, you’ll benefit more from features like Storage Scopes, Contact Scopes, Sensors toggle, etc. if you use a bunch of very privacy invasive apps.

The Thirteenth Floor (1999) depicts a better story about simulated reality than The Matrix (1999) does.

Redoomed, (edited ) to asklemmy in Which books have the worst video adaptation?

American Gods

The first season of the TV series is a banger, but the subsequent seasons suffer from a decline in quality. Also, the series finale is just so disappointing compared to the ending of Gaiman’s novel.

Redoomed, to piracy in Real Debrid Glitches - Anyone Else Facing Issues

I use Stremio + Torrentio and the torrents that are cached show up but can’t play anything at the moment.

I am also encountering this; “Playback error, please try again” is the error message that Stremio presents.

Redoomed, (edited ) to linux in What has been your experience with Flatpak?

I want an android style permissions menu

Same. In addition to the prompt-based permissions that @Kusimulkku brings up, I’d like to see more granular control of permissions. For example, a flatpak app’s access to webcams, controllers, etc. are all controlled through just one permission: –device=all (aka “Device Access” in KDE’s Flatpak Permission Settings).

Redoomed, to movies in What are you watching? (NOVEMBER 2023)

Recently, I watched…

Batman Returns (1992): The scene of the cats congregating around Selina Kyle after Shreck threw her out of the office window (and before she’s reborn as Catwoman) is so iconic. I remember seeing that scene on television when I was a child. Danny DeVito’s performance as The Penguin is also mega.

Blade Runner (1982): My eyes got heavy while watching it because all of the scenes are visually dark, which is certainly intentional. The world-building is amazing.

12 Monkeys (1995): It was interesting to watch this movie after having seen the TV series when it originally aired. The TV series is my second favorite sci-fi show, but I thought the movie was fine.

Tenet hurt my soul

As someone who watched Primer and Tenet back-to-back (both first-time viewings), I am amazed that a film produced on an astronomically higher budget than the other could be twice as confusing, twice as long (!), and so much more exhausting because of the story’s reliance on world-ending stakes.

Redoomed, to privacyguides in Privacy friendly authenticator ?

2FAS which seems recommended for data privacy.

By whom?

There is a discussion in the Privacy Guides forum on 2FAS that you might want to read.


Also, you don’t specify which platform you’re using. As @I_Am_Jacks_____ mentioned, Aegis for Android is great. For iOS, the pull request to include ente Auth in the Privacy Guides recommendation page for authenticator apps is already merged. It will reflect on the live website once the Privacy Guides team decides to release v3.17 of the site.
