@xTKcrypto As surveillance and CBDCs rise, #Monero (XMR) remains a beacon of financial privacy. Its fungibility and anonymity may become even more valuable in the future. Not just a means of payment, but a digital fundamental right in an increasingly transparent world. $XMR #crypto #privacy

GrapheneOS is finally ready to break free from Pixels, and it may never look back https://www.androidauthority.com/graphene-os-major-android-oem-partnership-3606853/ TL;DR The makers of GrapheneOS have confirmed they are partnering with a major Android OEM to bring the privacy-focused Android fork to Snapdragon-powered smartphones. The project has confirmed it’s bringing support for Pixel 10, but is unsure whether support will continue for Pixel 11. GrapheneOS didn’t reveal the name of its new partner, but said that those devices will be priced in the same range as Pixels. --- Saw this coming. It would have been nice to see more transparency and less "everything is fine, we've got it covered" when I engaged with them about the recent Google updates just two months ago. The technical realities I was asking about clearly pointed here, and the dismissive responses didn't inspire confidence. nostr:nevent1qqsrnwcn5nlhs00nycrtvjf2d7g0qcudua6l3x47yr38tzparffuvxsprdmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wd68yurvv438xtnrdakj7q3qf6ugxyxkknket3kkdgu4k0fu74vmshawermkj8d06sz6jts9t4ksxpqqqqqqz68manv Either way, this kind of partnership was supposed to happen years ago before that deal fell through. Let's hope all those who recently bought Pixels specifically to run GrapheneOS will get the years of updates they expected before needing to migrate to this new device. I stopped using GOS as a primary device months ago—it was a pain getting my data off, and Google's Play Integrity API is making it harder for apps to install on custom ROMs. I still recommend them to most people for secondary devices. The privacy fundamentals are solid, but GrapheneOS has always relied on Pixel's superior hardware security (Titan M2, verified boot, etc.). Finding an OEM partner with comparable hardware security has been a bottleneck all along. I'm genuinely interested to see what they come up with. #IKITAO #Privacy #GrapheneOS #Pixel

#WoB25 great question on #privacy Could satoshi move coins while keeping his privacy with existing Bitcoin privacy tools? What would he use?

If you're a #Bitcoiner (which to me means you care about #freedom in general, #free #speech in particular, and #privacy because it enables your rights), then why the F would you put up with this dystopian nonsense in 2025?! Enough cognitive dissonance!

You don’t need to break the law to become a fugitive. Just try living privately in a world that criminalizes privacy. Privacy is the New Rebellion. The new rebel doesn’t wave flags. They refuse the default. They say no to convenience. They patch, encrypt, and isolate. Because in a world where every click is a confession, silence is resistance. #privacy #untraceable https://untraceabledigitaldissident.com/the-new-fugitive-why-privacy-is-the-new-rebellion-in-2025/

HOW TO ERASE YOURSELF FROM DATA BROKER SITES Concrete Steps. No Forgiveness. Just Erasure. You’re being sold. Your name, age, address, income, family tree, political lean, buying habits, and what you searched for last night while half asleep. It’s all out there. Indexed. Packaged. Sold. This isn’t a side hustle. It’s an industry worth over $200 billion. And you didn’t consent to any of it. #privacy #untraceable https://untraceabledigitaldissident.com/how-to-erase-yourself-from-data-broker-sites/

Friends don't let friends get their eyeballs scanned to buy a coffee. This portable dystopia machine is Tools for Humanity's latest effort to live up to their Orwellian name. Connoisseurs of the AI-will-end-humanity marketing hype train of a few years ago should find plenty to appreciate in an eyeball scanner framed as as a 'helpful' tool to distinguish between AI agents & humans. Or is it for that? Or maybe point of sale? Or nebulous 'verification?' The only clear thing? This device starts from a point of biometric #privacy invasion. It sure looks to me like another effort by the company Sam Altman founded to make a global data-grab. Just say no. https://techcrunch.com/2025/04/30/sam-altmans-world-unveils-a-mobile-verification-device/

One thing I do not miss from running #GrapheneOS on my main device is the "Optimizing apps" process after each update that significantly slows your phone down and cripples its usability for up to 40+ minutes. #IKITAO #Privacy #Tech

Regardless, #Saylor never seems to care about anything beyond "number go up", and Bitcoin simply doesn't work that way. You cannot take self #custody, #privacy, #uncensorable #MoE, etc. out of the equation. Period. Or you can kiss Bitcoin goodbye. A ₿rother just saw that video. He nailed it: "He keeps saying "Paranoid Crypto Anarchists" as if it's an insult or something" 😂 👏 💯 It's an understatement to say that "Bitcoiners" still simping for this TradFi boomer in 2024 have lost their way, and will almost certainly lose whatever Bitcoin they think they own (for those who actually hold their keys). Good morning! 😊

Does any body know how 0xchat handles image uploads? Specifically: what kind of scanning does it go through before being served up? I poked through github, but, as usual, I can't find squat on the various pages, and I don't have the technical skills to trace the upload as it happens. #asknostr #0xchat #imageuploads #scanning #privacy #paranoid #uploads #nostrnedia
