That definitely happened

I mean I’m not defending honor killings because why would any sane person but you sound pretty apologetic towards yet another archaic patriarchal tradition just because it happens to have been part of your culture

Yeah I guess dueling is totally fine then?

I haven’t been to 9gag in forever, not sure if this is a really bad meme or a great shitpost

I really support Ukraines fight against Russia but is this really a credible source? I see this posting a lot of news about how Russia is going to shit but they seem to be doing fine enough to keep going with their illegal invasion

Fully agree, can still get worse than the default setting and I don’t care if the US or China installs Pegasus on your phone we shouldn’t pretend any government can be trusted

I think they might also and also bug your phone. It’s just that the US has become so bad they’re converging to what dictatorships have been doing for ages already

I just expose my local machine to the internet, unsecured

Idk why it’s always assholes coming up with good software (shoutout to the lemmy devs lol) but simplex is a great messenger nevertheless. I sure as hell won’t donate to that guy though, like ever.

Now do Israeli war criminals

How? We’ve been doing this for almost 2 years and the genocide is still ongoing

No thank you

I‘m literally just vibing and having good food like OP posted

I haven’t had anything but meth and bud lights in days what am I gonna say? Thank you queen

If you wanna get banned for being pro-Palestine go ahead :/

Fair enough, I don’t think you understand how different middle eastern societies are though from your individualistic American society. It’s normal to have 10 siblings and literally 100s of cousins and uncles/aunts. It’s normal to have family spread across the entire Middle East, the entire world actually. Our diaspora communities are huge, we have friends from all kinds of places and we talk a lot. In the end all I can offer you is a perspective, take it or leave it and most importantly enjoy your day!

I mean I’m from the Middle East just fucked off from there a while ago

Yeah I mean that’s definitely true but I think it’s also very western centric to assume that everyone will automatically start stripping naked just because they can. I certainly don’t even though I absolutely can, and I don’t wanna take it away from anyone. It’s just not what I wanna do.

You can’t really sideload at least not in a way that it makes your phone safe like it’s possible with GrapheneOS.

Imo iPhones are an alright lazy choice. It’s a little bit more private than vanilla android and you get E2EE, PGP encryption support and some extras like their VPN like thingy that masks your traffic. Also apps are sandboxed so they can’t track you as easily. It’s not like this will stop anyone who’s really after you but even regular law enforcement will have a hard time getting your data unless you unlock your phone for them, I know this from experience.

That being said, you will still need to trust Apple to stay the way they are currently, plus they’re not gonna go out of their way to protect you, they’ll obey the law because they’re corpos.

For really sensitive stuff I’d still keep something like a pixel with GrapheneOS without play services and without ever logging into any personal accounts. Might make sense to physically remove the camera and microphone too if you’re really worried.
