Couldn’t be more infuriating than apple’s forced 2fa that requires a phone number. Effectively making iOS devices useless unless you have a phone number.

There will be. A Turkey style election. Or maybe russia style depending on if democratic-led states find the spine to stand against a tyrannical federal government. We’re about to see if this “federalism” really mean anything.

I mean theres one instance where I think it okay to say it. To women who voted trump. In order to demonstrate a point.

As a guy, I’d acquit if I went on a jury for a case like this. It only take one to hang, and they don’t have the resource to keep trying forever.

You mean like a VOIP number like Google Voice? Then no, your call get dropped when you move out of wifi range.

VoLTE doesnt count against your data plan, you dont even need a data plan to use VoLTE. In fact, most carriers require VoLTE these days so when you first insert the sim card, your carrier has sent a configuration profile instructing your phone to turn it on. You can turn the data to “off” but it still leave it on for VoLTE calls only.

Ah yea reddit seems to hate TOR.

Not to mention that most subreddits have a soft ban on new accounts. Extremely infuriating.

Lemmy seems so welcoming to TOR users, I mean I had to fill out an “application” but I just used a temp email. Lovely place, hidden behind anonymity, well kind of… as long as the NSA doesnt suddenly spend the entire US budget hunting me, I’d be anonymous. They got bigger fishes to catch.

Public forums do not have privacy

Data is definitely usable when you make a VoLTE call. But if you turn data off before the call happens, the data icon on the top quick setting panel where you pull down on the notifications indicates that data is “on”, and attempting to turn it “off” would show a message saying “Unable to turn off data while Advanced Calling is on” Advanced Calling which I assume means VoLTE. So basically its this state where its on, but only for the purposes of VoLTE. If you have data set to on before the call happens, you can look up info while, for example, you talk to a customer service representative.

When data is off, it might not actually be off.

For example, on some android phones, the data connection shows as on when you are on a call, even tho apps cannot access the internet.

So I’m assuming the OS just built a workaround that turns data on only for calling, since if data is allowed to be completely off, people are gonna be complaining that their “Phone isn’t working” as most carriers require VoLTE these days.

Same thing with location. Even if you turn location off, it is automatically turned on if you call emergency numbers.

There are different versions.

One is where they sell the cellebrite device to law enforcement.

Another where the cellebrite device remain in control of cellebrite, and law enforcement has to send the phone to cellebrite.

Unless you actually work for cellebrite and got access to their more advanced tools, which then I doubt they would let you share the details of since that must be breaking some non-disclosure agreement.

That’s what they say. I mean the news literally base this off the FBI’s own words, so there’s no way for us to tell if they actually manage to break the encryption but then turns around that say “the encryption is too strong”. Besides, iOS is closed source.

Intelligence agencies have made this “Anom Phone” that is this supposed encrypted phone that drug dealers and various criminals used to communicate, turned out to be a honeypot.

Y’all are installing malware to replace malware.

Firefox all the way!

Legends has it, that the ancestors of Native Americans crossed the Chilean land bridge to arrive in the Americas.

For the “Wasted” app:

1. Check the box saying “Wipe Data” (you can optionally check wipe eSim if yiu also want that to happen)

2. Tap the bottom button saying [Off] which would ask you to give permission to the app as a Device Administrator, giving it the power to wipe your device.

3. Tap the gear button on top right

4. Scroll down to the “Lock” and check that

5. Tap the upper left button with the 3 horizontal lines

6. Tap the “Lock” menu option

7. Enter a value. I personally would use something like 24 or 48 hours. Note that 24H automatically becomes 1D in the app, idk why but thats just some weird quirks with the app.

For the Duress app, it doesn’t really work anymore on the phone I’m using, so you might have to do your own testing.

Edit: Make sure you dont get drunk and passed out for 24 hours because then your phone gets wiped lol. Good luck, I didn’t make the app so be careful with it, don’t blame me if your accidentally get your device wiped when you didnt want it to.

Edit 2: Also you cant really know if these apps works on your particular phone unless you test it yourself, that means wiping it. So you might wanna back up your phone then trigger the wipe to see if it works. Dont wanna get caught at a protest only to find out the app failed.

Devs are allegedly Marxist-Leninists.

Redditors dont understand that devs dont exactly have full control of open source software, that different instances are not operated by the devs.

Edit: Lemmy devs to be specific

Well they might charge you with “Obstruction of Justice” instead. Then plug it in some cellebrite device and boom, unlocked.

Best way to not have to deal with stuff like this is just to not have the incriminating evidence in the first place. If you are, for example, doing a protest, only chat with contacts in a safe place, then wipe chat logs every time, any data you wish to keep should be encrypted then uploaded anonymously via VPN/Tor and wiped from local storage. Hide the fact that such data exists so you wouldn’t have a scenario where the government is trying to get you to give them the data, since they dont even know what data exists. Plausable deniability.

Edit: Those apps I’ve linked is still a good idea since “Destruction of Evidence” is probably a lesser charge than something like “Rioting”.

Hey good news, we can play a tug of war on the scale of states rights vs federal government rights. Test how strong can federalism resist tyranny of the federal government.

Well then you’ll need a good mattress to store your money because in the future, all banks would be doing it.

Android has an app that you can install that auto wipes a phone after X amount of time if the phone hasnt been unlocked:

Also theres an app that allows you to set a fake password that wipes the phone:

https://f-droid.org/en/packages/me.lucky.duress/

All open source, I have tested these apps on my phones, they work great. The second app about the duress password is a bit glitchy and didnt work on some of my phones.

Disclaimer: I am not a lawyer and setting your phone to automatically wipe itself may be considered destruction of evidence in a court of law.
