I'm thinking it's time for a 2nd phone (in my case old one from cupboard) to become the regular daily GrapheneOS enabled driver and then keep a modern Google(tm) updated one at home for all the "official crap" whenever needed. That way I can also separate banking / paypal / etc. from my carry phone with all it's various apps that I trust to varying degrees.

I'm curious why you need a phone for banking at all, at home as you say. Wouldn't a laptop suffice? Granted, not all banks have a web app these days

It's just a statistical correlation. Who loves porn demographically?

1) Men.

2) Men age 18-40 in particular.

3) No evidence for this but in my experience tech people tend to like porn more than others for whatever reason.

So a survey of HN users would show more pro-porn respondents than a survey of the UK or the US or EU as a whole.

Tech people? I have met utter goons obsessed with porn that barely understand how their phone actually works.

Am I the only person who hasn't found the time, money, permission from work, resources, etc to be able to produce software like this? I'm still at my corporate 9-5 where they're still making the decision on whether we're allowed to use copilot yet.

What I've never understood is, how is this an issue with private repos? Aside from open source projects I can't see the problem with accidentally doing this, even though it is a smell.

Hello, I'm Matt and I'm a professional dev looking for full or part time work. I'm a published mobile app developer and game dev. Professionally, most of my work has been in mobile app development but I'm quite comfortable with both backend and frontend web dev. Looking for development work in really any kind of area as long as it's interesting.

Heads up, your Google doc appears to be private

Location: Glasgow, Scotland

Remote: Yes

Willing to relocate: No

Technologies: Android and iOS, and cross-platform using Xamarin/.NET MAUI. Experience with platform camera stacks and machine learning. Jetpack Compose and SwiftUI also.

Résumé/CV: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1nZp69EVM_lesNf28qcaJrCn3...

Email: hackernews.82m3s@passmail.net

I'm looking for a native Android position with the possibility of doing iOS also or Kotlin Multi Platform.

I have a tonne of experience working on native Android projects of my own, and contributing to open source projects. My career has mostly been in the Microsoft mobile space - Xamarin and MAUI. Sometimes recruitment don't see that this has given me a huge exposure to native code with the native bindings for these platforms.

I'm hugely interested in security and privacy and I'm hoping my next role involves these areas.

Above all else, as the resume says, I'm looking for a company that is trying to build high quality software and putting the user first.

Thanks for reading!

Last I checked he announced his departure only to rescind that announcement later. For example in the discussion about the shutdown of the Mozilla location service he was active and spoke for the project, completely derailing the issue with versions of the accusations the video depicts as well, which was afterwards.

I am always a bit sorry when I have to bring this up, that is why I only mentioned it when prompted. Mental health is a sensitive topic and hammering the problem won't help him, but it is just so relevant when users rely on the security of their system, even pick Graphene because of heightened security needs.

UnreachableCode · 2 months ago

It's a shame. He's clearly very talented. Mental health is no joke, you're right.

If you’re on iTerm2, then perhaps the Cmd-; completion shows what you want. Otherwise, it sounds like he’s using `tmux-fingers`, but I can’t confirm as the video doesn’t play on iOS / Safari.

UnreachableCode · 2 months ago

Hm, Cmd+; seems to work! I will try it more out in the wild. Thank you!

Can somebody help me, a CLI layman, out? How can I easily navigate printed directories like he does, in zsh, and paste them right into my prompt, e.g. for Git use? Is that where the tmux regex stuff comes in? Can I use that in iTerm 2?

Why would you call the Fairphone an insecure device? It has long update support and can re-lock the bootloader, which is like the one criteria ROMs like that pick as the security feature. What is your attack scenario, what your security criteria here?

microG is not a drawback, it's a proper FOSS implementation, which I vastly prefer to running Gapps in a sandbox. App compatibility has been perfect for me.

The main criteria for it to be strictly better is that you do not give root to a dev that hallucinates enemies and then send their goons to attack them. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4To-F6W1NT0. It's nice that Graphene has a hardened kernel, that helps nothing if you can't trust the developer - different attack scenarios.

Thanks for the vid. I've been down the rabbit hole now. Looks like he departed the project though?
