@Suiseiseki@scathach@newt@Rocc Hey watch out there man, you're talking SENSE. Don't you know that's DANGEROUS? You might kill someone with all that SENSE.
@Yoruka@Suiseiseki@djsumdog It's true. I need to grab a bunch of shitty fones or something cheap, load lineage + conversations + subwaytooter + maybe jerboa + whatever mail client + UP etc., premake accounts on all my shit, and then just give it to my family, and be like "here, this is family chat".
@djsumdog@Suiseiseki@Yoruka I have never once installed microg. I have never seen the need. It's literally just a crutch for running garbage software. Anything decent doesn't depend on jewgle shit in the first place.
@rimugu@Suiseiseki@Yoruka I did an experiment once of denying play services permission to basically everything, and it's true, basically all of the core functions stopped working. I think I also forcibly uninstalled it and wrecked my system.
@Suiseiseki@rimugu@Yoruka Right. I just disable the radios directly, which I'm confident is no different in terms of what it actually does (or doesn't, rather), but it's less hassle, since I don't ever enable them again.
@Suiseiseki@rimugu@Yoruka > "Aeroplane mode" just requests that the mobile chipset goes into a low power mode. Is that American thing where they call disabling radios "aeroplane mode", instead of actual "aeroplane mode" which is supposed to disable all comms? But yeah, hardly surprising that it doesn't really disable it.
>it'll be trivial to just have it listening passively for fresh proprietary malware to execute. That makes sense.
@Suiseiseki@rimugu@Yoruka >used to identify the device when it is used on a GSM mobile phone network. 🤔 I keep my radios disabled constantly. I don't believe it really disables the radios.
@Suiseiseki@rimugu@Yoruka Good thing my fone doesn't get updates :^) Of course, I don't trust that the software it is currently running is not hostile to me, it's a fone after all.
@Yoruka@rimugu I'm still curious about how android (any rom) manages to determine the difference between "connected to wifi" and "connected to wifi (no internet)". The obvious solution is to make some external call and see if it succeeds, but to where? There's no information about this online. I could probably figure it out in a suitably captured environment.
