That sucks, @potus account seems to have it enabled. @vp should do it as well.

And this is a site run by developers that purposely and specifically endorses Tankies, yet it's still stupid to call everyone on this site a Tankie.

The software is partially written by Tankies, but most instances aren’t run by Tankies. Since it is free & open source software under the AGPLv3, anyone can freely use it. Lemmy also uses ActivityPub, an open standard, and is fully compatible with other Fediverse software like Kbin/Mbin and Piefed. Using lemmy.ml or other instances means that you’re associated with Tankies, but using Lemmy the FOSS software doesn’t. Since Twitter is proprietary, the only option is using twitter.com which is run by a Nazi and actively supports Nazis.

Is it possible to follow the Threads account from the Fediverse?

Ah yes, definitely promoting Google

I fucking hate Google and wouldn't use any of their (proprietary) software

I hope you realize how dumb your comment is

Ok what is your alternative? Android Verified Boot with a secure hardware keystore like the Google Titan M2 is basically the best thing you can get.

Yes, GrapheneOS only works on Pixel devices, because the project has some pretty extensive hardware security requirements: https://grapheneos.org/faq#future-devices

The Fairphone is a highly insecure device, which comes nowhere close to the (hardware) security of a Pixel. On top of that, the Fairphone company doesn't even know how to maintain their own Fairphone OS. The verified boot implementation is fundamentally broken and very misleading, since it's signed with the publicly available (!!!) AOSP test private keys. This is such a blatant disregard of security practices, that should have made it impossible to certify their devices. It's not a surprise either that Fairphone regularly misses important Android security patches, or delivers them months later. That's also why GrapheneOS will never support devices like the Fairphone. There are more issues with Fairphone's misleading update policy that I haven't covered in detail.

I highly recommend against purchasing such insecure, and poorly maintained hardware. DivestOS is the best option for "damage control", if you already own a Fairphone. Its developer actually cares about users and their security, and the OS is properly signed.

What other things does Valve work on?

I just read that it's 80 people, which one is true now? https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/24263263

It's fully end-to-end encrypted by default, and it also encrypts and minimizes metadata. It's also completely free & open source, and I don't think they have ever terminated an account for any reason other than spam. These are the things that actually matter.
