So I get a free spam filter for not verifying? Guess I’m never verifying then, lol.

Your backups aren’t nearly as likely to be subject to an immediate civil forfiture as a phone is. Cops don’t need a judicial warrent to take your phone, but they do need one to search your home legally, and if you do your offsite backups in another country, they would need the cooperation of the local authorities of that country. Strong encryption can provide a relatively safe barrier for offsite backups.

Also, it’s possible to have some things that may only exist on your phone and not your server/backup system(easy biometric unlock for a password manager, or encrypted chat logs, to name a few examples).

Always back up anything you don’t want to loose.

Yes, and you can disable usb completely on graphene.

Other than literally everything I think and feel you mean? I think it’s perfectly reasonable to not want to allow police or especially federal agents into my own head. My note taking apps, my password manager which links to all of my online accounts, and my entire web browsing and search history are all linked through my phone. Also signal and discord and lemmy, and on and on…

Even better, set it to 1234567890 or 00000000 or similar easy to guess pin, and change it to the length of your actual pin, now if someone tries to bruteforce your phone it will instantly wipe and you can make a case that it was the law enforcement who destroyed any “evidence” by their own actions if in comes up In court.

I think you’ll have better luck if you wait until I buy one.

Yea sure, there’s a good chance I would say something mean as well, out of impulse if nothing else, or perhaps I would just stare at the empty hand that was holding a pastry a moment ago and be very confused, I guess I won’t know for sure until it happens to me lol.

Yea, I suppose it is about principles. If this is about not letting someone walk over you, I’d rather just avoid being in a position to have my pastry stolen I guess?

Idk I guess I just don’t think making a big deal over a pastry or a small amount of food is the same as letting someone walk over me, especially if its easy to get another one.

If they’re stealing it because they’re hungry, they probably need It more than I do, and if they’re stealing it for attention or to be an ass, then I’d rather ignore them, and they’re probably looking to start a confrontation and I don’t want to give them the satisfaction.

Mb, both of your usernames start with wizard, so I got confused.

Ok, fair enough. I guess in my mind that would be burglary or robbery, not just simple theft, but if guess it would be possible to steal without doing that?

I’ll just say this, I don’t think my neighbors would just let me die of hunger if they had food and they knew I was hungry, and I hope no one ever is in a position where they would have to steal food from their neibors to survive.

Ok so first of all, the context of a poor+hungry person was already implied in the very first comment you replied to, I did not think it was necessary to reiterate it.

Also, how could I have possibly gotten that you meant it in the context of the cat meme, you never brought it up.

Now, to directly address the specific situation you are describing right now, I think it would actually depend, are you stitting somewhere and some guy snatches it right out of your hand to be a jerk, or does a homeless person come up to your table and snatch it off your plate and run off?

Actually I still can’t see that mattering in terms of contributing the pseron directly. Sure, if some jerk snatches it our of your hand and eats in in front of you, maybe a “fuck you, asshole” is in order. But as someone who’s worked in food service I would have a hard time imagining a situation were you couldn’t just get another one for free, maybe if you bought it ad a convenience store or a gas station or something, and were eating it somewhere else?

Anyways the point I was originally trying to make, is that there’s no logical reason(that I can think of) to escalate a situation like that unless you are litteraly about to die of starvation.

Unless you can give me a realistic situation where confronting the theif has some kind of benefit, I think ignoring the theif is gonna be the right call.

How is that an unintended context? I literally asked you for context and you gave me context, and I replied within the context you gave me. I guess you can’t handle it when someone calls out a flaw in your logic.

Also, quotes are for things people actually said directly, not for putting words into other peoples mouths.

So you raise a rukus over the lone guy stealing your food, possibly put him, a clearly desperate human being in a potentially dangerous situation, for what?

You would be lucky if you get the food back at all, and you can easily get more food, probably for free from whatever restaurant or whatever place you are at by just asking the staff.

And even if you get your food back, are you really going to eat the food that some random person was just handling, likely even even eating?

What you’re describing is just escalating a non violent situation for basically no reason.

What are you going to acomplish by trying to stop them? In what situation would that be worth it?

I also misread it and took it to mean ICE is treating their “job” like a videogame, and my first though was that it was a weird choice of game for the meme, then I realised it said lice.

Greese

I think it can give a false sense of security, because all of the security and privacy feature can be individually bypassed by the user.

if you try to use it the same way as a regular android phone you end up giving all the apps the same level of control as they would in stock android eventually.

The last two people are the same person.

They might be buying up hardware with AI as their excuse today, but tomorrow they will be indefinately renting you processing power that you’re unable to buy(because they cornered and manipulated the hardware market)

I’m forwarding this to as many people as I can.
