How did you pull Mull into Obtanium? When I paste the GitLab URL into Obtanium, it says that there’s no APK found.

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’ve never understood this either, given the whole notion and enthusiasm behind decentralization. I get the trade-offs regarding privacy, security, and convenience, but if you’re really tryna start a movement, and you really believe in the concept and principles of something like cryptocurrency, it seems like your communities and communication channels should also reflect similar values.

I think about this Jaron Lanier talk a lot.

KDE Connect?

Risk it for the biscuit

Maybe a good idea for a blog post, but the general gist is this:

1. Buy an old/cheap Mac mini
2. Set up AirMessage or BlueBubbles (open source)
3. Run a command or get an app so keep your Mac mini (or whatever other Apple device you’re using) awake 24/7

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.
