iOS now has a “Lockdown Mode” which is supposed to be more secure against pegasus, but can break some functionality, but then again, it’s a closed source OS so you’ll have to take their word for it.

As an American, I upvoted.

Sturdy, somewhat shock-proof and waterproof

As serviceable / repairable as possible

Yea those two are a bit tough to find together on a phone. I mean you have fairphones which are very repairable, but it’s only splash resistant, not submerge resistant.

But I found this phone called Nokia XR21 which is $499 and is has IP rating of IP68/IP69K and it’s build as a rugged phone which is very resistant to drops. 6.49 inch display and has a 3.5mm headphone jack! No removable battery tho. It has 3 years of OS updates and 4 years of monthly security updates. Personally this phone looks great to me, but this is a midrange and they don’t make flagships so I went with a Samsung Galaxy S23.

Climate change is pretty good at that…

All he wanted was to let people know. What people decide to do with the information is up to the people. He achieved his goals, it isn’t his problem if people just ignore his message.

Better yet, abolish the state.

Anti-Choicers hate this one simple trick!

Never used a foldable phone. Looks cool, but too bad its not dust resistant and the curved display is very weak against scratches. A hinge in a phone just further shorten it’s lifespan. I wouldn’t use them until it’s not only water-resistant, but also dust proof, and the hinge better outlast the lifespan of the rest of the phone. Considering the high price and also comes with so much drawbacks, they aren’t for the average person. It’s a rich person’s toy.

Meanwhile, you can use an instance that has them defederated.

Breaking News: Fox News has defederated NPR, PBS, BBC, NYT, Washington Post, The Associated Press, CNN, MSNBC, and various other mastodon instances run by what they deem as “the liberal woke media”. MSNBC defederates Fox News in retaliation.

Yay! Good Bot!

I hereby summon you!

This post is on lemmy.ml, an instance whose owner decided to continue federating with lemmygrad.ml for… reasons. Go visit lemmygrad.ml and you’ll understand why.

What do you mean they’re over? I’ve invested billions of dollars in them. I’ve even given up on owning a house just so I can become the next sucessful billionaire investor. Away with your nonsense. Y’all just isn’t as smart as me. 🤓

In Russia, heart surgeon. Number one. Steady hand. One day, Russian leader need new heart. I do operation. But, mistake! Russian leader die. Russian government very mad. I hide in transport convoy, come to Ukraine. No speak Ukrainian, no food, no money. Zelenskyy give me job. Now I have house, Ukrainian car, and new woman. Zelenskyy save life. My big secret: I kill Russian leader on purpose. I good surgeon. The best!

Edit: Sorry, I know the war is serious, but a little humor doesn’t hurt, right? 😉

Found the hacker that defaced lemmy.world

If your comment (the top-level one) was supposed to be sarcasm, you need a /s tag because there are people actually being serious saying that “it’s a conspiracy, couldn’t be any other possible explanation” stuff.

But also, the “hostage” thing is not entirely false, just very exaggerated. They only take your family “hostage” if you are like a leader of a protest or something. But I doubt they care if you are just some forum user that has no followers and “protesting” online. They got too many dissidents within their jurisdiction to care about those abroad.
