Not knowing you can buy used/refurbished betrays a deep level of real life illiteracy

Wait I think I found the context for you, truly hard work I must add!

And it’s only 3 short paragraphs

Tried Impression(s)? It’s on Flathub

“What’s bad with eugenics for the rich?”

I personally don’t trust the little (probably superficial) insights I have into the topic enough to be able to gauge this; neither do I have the energy to put into discerning slop creators doing it for clickbait with some backyard engineering or genuinely correct amateurs.

I like to outsource that to proper channels, I understand that it’s probably not 100% fair every single time, but as I said, I have neither time nor energy to judge it properly myself

Exactly, when it comes to highly complex chemical and electrical engineering and physics (as is the case with Smartphones and their lithium-ion batteries), I will take it as an inditcator if it comes from well-established testers with professional equipment like GN (Gamers Nexus) or other established technical journals when talking outside of the video world, but will not accept it as a general and genuine technical (!) insight until it has gone through the due process of scientific publishing and peer review…

Even then I prefer meta-studies, since they reduce biases and general inaccuracies.

I personally prefer a proper peer reviewed study over amateur YT slop

I love when YT amateurs act as if they are able to produce proper studies that are relevant in any fucking way

What’s wrong with Briar?

“Don’t theme my app” is all about distro defaults. No one is arguing against user modifications as long as the users don’t expect any official support for their custom stuff

Just use Briar or SimpleX instead of this clowns’ service with no perfect forward secrecy

Smart TVs are some scary shit, like seriously. All the stuff they record and set home is extremely concerning

Samsung TVs also notoriously do this. Even if you don’t connect them to anything yourself, they will look for insecure Wifi accesspoints to upload their spying data to

Then Proton seems to be the only usable VPN for anyone who Torrents and gives a shit about seeding. (Only scumbags don’t seed)

At least out of the three privacy oriented ones you mentioned that at least has OSS clients IIRC

They have Google in their

Proceed with caution!

The following manufacturers require an online account and/or a waiting period before unlocking.

section, despite you not having to do either of those to unlock your phone to install e.g. GrapheneOS?

I just use LibreWolf and Ironfox

The USA has been the “big brother” for pretty much all of NATO to listen to since the Marshall plan…

Just look how the EU cowed to your gov’s tarif demands recently.

The EU only cares about blocking the private sector from getting their citizen’s data. They actively harm privacy when it’s about government access

Arguably, 2nd hand private sellers would have bought it anyway and you are just saving e-waste at that point
