IMO Whonix has better anonymity tools, so if you seek extreme anonymity for your activity, the better choice may be to dedicate a Whonix laptop to that activity, and exclusively use that laptop for that activity.

Qubes is good for using one computer to satisfy multiple threat profiles. E.g. if you want to shitpost on Facebook, visit shady websites, and ghostwriting for a controversial magazine _all without linking those three activities_, then Qubes is the OS for you.
If you want to dedicate one laptop to a very specific anonymous activity (e.g. being a ghostwriter for a controversial magazine) _and nothing else_, Whonix is the OS for you.

Anyone on #android know how to set Orbit to TOR route traffic for a few apps, then a VPN service for all other traffic?
I prefer to use TOR when possible, but it breaks some services, so I can't use it for all the traffic on my phone. When I'm not using TOR, I need to use a VPN, because sharing my real IP address with the world is just dumb. On #linux this is easy. On Android, I'm not sure if/how this can be done.

Hmmm weird. If it was an Android issue or a framework issue, you'd think I would experience it in other apps too, but strangely Amethyst is the only app. Well.... figured I'd make sure you knew. Sounds like you do 😅

Tried gboard too. Same issue.

2023-11-13 00:33:56

@npub1gcx…nj5z there are weird text input bugs that've existed in #amethyst for a long time, but it manifests in different ways every time. I'll list a few below:
Any time I type a colon after a word and hit enter, amethyst duplicates the word again on a new line. e.g. trying to type 'hello world:' results in:
'hello world:
world:'
Also, any time I try to type L1, the text is immediately substituted for L1L. This one is particularly weird, because it doesn't behave like any other text substitution/correction in other apps.
My notes are littered with typo's from these bugs, and although my mind is getting better at detecting and fixing them, they're surprisingly annoying, lol. I'm curious if anyone's reported this?
I'm on a Pixel 7, running Graphene OS.
(P.S. typing examples of these typos was incredibly difficult, because Amethyst kept text subsituting from underneath me 😅)

Should users store only $10? What do you do with $10?

You're Bitcoin is free of banks, but it isn't money. I want money that's free of the banks, but money requires the following properties, some of which Bitcoin doesn't have and can't be obtained with today's L2's:
1. Durable ✅
2. Portable ✅
3. Divisible ✅
4. Scarce ✅
5. Verifiable ✅
6. Fungible ❌
7. Medium of exchange ❌
Without #6 and #7 Bitcoin will be a terrific financial instrument, but never money. Something else will always be used as money.
Sidechains can enable scale (medium of exchange) and fungibility, but they need to be trustless pegs, or else we end up with trusted money.
Since trustless p2p money would make us vastly more free than 'digital gold', I maintain we should still be striving for #6 & #7.

There's nothing political about this. Its objective commitment of electrons. Anyone can commit their own electrons to the process. No need for popular opinion.

Sorta. The design goals changed a bit over the years. Originally the design goal was trustless p2p money. Now we've settled for 'digital gold' or 'p2p fedwire' or whatever you want to call it. And yes, it does that fantastically.
But those of us who want to have a money free from banks still need to solve scalability and fungibility. I agree we shouldn't add those features directly into Bitcoin; Bitcoin's immutability is one of its greatest features. Trustless L2's is the way you get those features and build bankless money without building those features into Bitcoin itself.

I think that's the point. A sidechain must be popular in the bitcoin ecosystem. If a sidechain is unpopular, then it stops working, because miners won't care to progress it, or may even prefer to steal from it.
It prevents shit coins and stuff like that. Only a popular, bitcoin-beneficial sidechain that can sustain approval from the miners (e.g. fee competive) will survive. All others will be evicted. Its like a shitcoin garbage collector, lol.

Ah, yeah, I see your point. I totally agree, if you don't become a software expert and read every line of code (an impossible task), then you'll always be trusting someone at some level.
You're completely right. The thing I might point out though, is that with Apple you have one org which has total control over the entire ecosystem (hardware, firmware, OS, apps, app store, etc) and no hope of any audit. There is an immense opportunity for corruption and malicious design.
UnGoogled Android (i.e. Graphene) on the other hand has many many many contributors that touch only small pieces of the ecosystem. If any of them are CIA agents (or even several of them), it would still be a monumental effort for them to orchestrate any sort of systemic malicious design across the entire ecosystem. AND they'd have to pull it off without the honest software devs noticing. Maybe certain components or libraries could be compromised, but that is much better than the monolithic power that Apple has over its ecosystem.
At least with UnGoogled Android, you have the option to choose how much you want verify yourself and how much you want to trust other people to verify. Apple you have no choice. I'm not naive enough to think I can attain perfect security or privacy. I just want to minimize the amount of trust I have to give to any one person, and not make it overtly easy to control my digital life.

Your mistake is thinking Apple keeps your data secure. Pegasus and other malwares have been able to bypass iPhone security measures for years, and there's still no fix. iOS and OSX are entirely closed source. Nobody can confirm if its actually secure. Nobody can confirm what Apple actually does with your data. You just have to trust Apple and the US govt. _And there are countless examples of them breaking your trust_
Obviously my comment only applies to people who care about their privacy, security, and people who know better than to trust big tech or the govt to just give it to them. If that's not you, if you just trust Apple and the US to treat you appropriately, then I don't have time to convince you otherwise.
You don't need to be a techie to become ungovernable. But you have to want it.
