After 4.5 years, there is an update to "Mobile Phone Security." In this 2026 Edition, the text is fundamentally the same, but specifics have been updated as well as answers to more questions and misconceptions that come up around safer usage of mobile phones, apps, and such.

Download it. Read it. Distro it. Take the source code and remix it. Etc. etc.

@alissaazar Give yourself plenty of time and spend a couple of hours looking at all the sculptures at the Vigelandsanlegget. It lives up to the hype. Also for @ shit, obvi go to Blitz. Annares is fine. Just another bookstore. I don't remember there being a lot of English, and it's kinda just "nondescript leftish" despite the name.

@chx @davidgerard That is wild because when I first met Aella, she was immediately deceptive and clearly had some "odd" ideas about consent. I do not trust that self-reflection at all and assume she's just a manipulator. Granted, that was... over 10 years ago? A long time. People can change, but I don't trust that she did.

@chx @davidgerard I mean... aella is probably cryptofash soooo

@chx @davidgerard she might be full fash tbh but I haven't kept tabs

Ftr, the media was certainly in a frenzy about this and the level of reporting was absurdly over the top to the point of maliciously harassing. Fuck em. But also this is absolutely an "everyone sucks here" moment

An essay from two weeks ago that only has become increasingly relevant as the polarization around this continues and people calcify in their positions.

> I do not care to examine the quality of Arday’s scholarship, research or life story beyond what has already been written elsewhere. What concerns me is how little space remains for a genuinely progressive critique of institutional diversity practices – one capable of scrutinising how for many organisations and corporations symbolic representation has been a substitute for deeper reform, leaving it vulnerable to just this kind of backlash. It has also meant that the right has enjoyed a near monopoly on criticism of DEI, leaving it to frame it entirely on its own terms.

@Aepasek feel like this is how artist collective houses start. From abandoned factories

@BigTittyBimbo so punk of him

@BigTittyBimbo holly balls how did I miss this one

@BigTittyBimbo my condolences

@BigTittyBimbo TIL you are a computer toucher. Had me fooled

@davidgerard lovely

@davidgerard no longer in London?

Waking up full of piss n vinegar today.

*ahem*

Sorry. I meant:

Arising and greeting the sun with a tincture of urea and twice fermented apple cider.

Telling someone in grief to use a plant for it's alleged heart-healing properties is about as medically accurate as saying "pee is stored in the balls," and I mean that with full disrespect.

@SedDistro yeah let's talk again. There's an old email thread that needs to be resurrected. Hit me with your plans again

@AnarchoWalrus @4thievesvinegar eh it's already out there enough. If/when I do a second edition, I'll poke around and could probably find a publisher since it was clearly a hit already
