  1. CW: re: SOME OF THE good and the poor of TruthSocial so far…

    @mcduquesne
    We don't know what #FreedomPhone #appstore is.

    Having said that, a benefit of Fediverse servers like #Mastodon and #Epicyon is that it works in any basic webBrowser.

  3. @sam tl;dr frontline tech support people at freedomphone do not know what source code is

    this on its own is a red flag - avoid with prejudice to anyone who would recommend #freedomphone

  4. @nick @torproject @briar Unfortunately I heard bad things of freedom phone lately- so it's even further unlikely I'll ever transition from #pinephone to #freedomphone

  5. I was thinking about my post about a week ago, re. the #FreedomPhone (see the link below).

    It got me wondering - What would I actually want in a #Freedom and #Privacy respecting #phone?

    Maybe things like:

    - A fully #encrypted #filesystem, with optional support for hardware key (like #solokey, or #nitrokey) #decryption
    - NO #Fingerprint Scanner or #Biometrics at all
    - #NFC that can only be toggled on temporarily, and automatically shuts off after X amount of time
    - #Bluetooth 5+ with #A2DP; #AptX and #BLE with a more security focused method of #authentication
    - All internet connections routed through @torproject (or something similar), with a #killswitch if the connection is dropped
    - Privacy focused #browser with something like #SSL Everywhere; #WebRTC and JS disabled by default, with easy toggle for "trusted" websites, which would allow JS and Video etc
    - #Decentralized messaging; voice chat; video conferencing; forums and blogs, like where #Briar is being taken by @briar (though the voice; video and other creature comforts are as yet unavailable)
    - No closed source Modem/Wifi/Bluetooth binary blobs
    - Securely Containerized SMS/MMS
    - Password Manager with support for #OTP; #TOTP and #Fido2
    - #GPS #Spoofing by default

    That's all I can think of for now, what would YOU like to see in a Privacy focused Phone?

  7. Le plus jeune millionnaire Bitcoin, @[email protected], a annoncé sur Twitter la sortie du #FreedomPhone, un #smartphone garant de la liberté d’expression et du respect de la vie privée de ses utilisateurs 🤫🕊

  8. @basadeskaiser good to know tim pool doesn't understand tech enough to know how much of a bad idea this is.

    The #freedomphone is quickly turning into a litmus test of who's got a clue / worth paying attention to. Tim pool seems to fail it
  9. A Luddites opinion on why the #FreedomPhone is likely to fail:

    The Freedom Phone seems to be trying to position itself as the Privacy Respecting, Conservative friendly, open platform of the future. Politics aside (I have no opinion on this particular subject), I can see some fundamental flaws in the approach they're taking.

    - The phone is manufactured by Umidigi, based out of Shenzhen, China. This brings up questions around the supply chain and hardware security integrity
    - The sale pricing is about $500, far above the hardware purchase price of around $120. Where does that $380 go?
    - It seems to use a mishmash of various separate editions of Android, including AOSP, Lineage and Graphene. Android in all of its different flavors, is not, and never has been a platform that is designed to be privacy respecting.
    - The company behind the phone does not seem to have a history in the industry, and having such a young man (22 years old I think) at the head of a company, makes me wonder about its longevity and long term stability

    To be clear, I'm not judging Erik (the young man running the show), or the way it is marketed.

    My concern is more about the ability for this device to actually achieve what it claims to, and that it could provide a false sense of security to it's user base. It doesn't seem to address any of the common security issues like SMS; GPS; Modem; DNS; Profiling, and Encryption etc.

    What is your opinion on the Freedom Phone from a technical standpoint?
  10. Wait, @[email protected] is a grifter? In this age of "believe whatever you want", make sure you can keep the FUD thick enough for long enough to cash the fuck out. She can't even do that right. Did you somehow miss her total fail on #JRE years ago? #FreedomPhone

  11. Does anyone have links to some independent objective info about the suspiciously heavily marketed "Freedom Phone" freedomphone.com/
