  • Based on this, one should try to do as much as possible on a GrapheneOS device

    To be clear, that is OP's opinion, not a recommendation in the article.

    Personally, I would be more interested in GrapheneOS if using it didn't require (directly or indirectly) giving money to Google.

  • Five workers were cleaning pipes at the system filtering wastewater for release into the sea when two were splashed after a hose came off accidentally, according to a spokesperson for operator Tepco.

    Two others were contaminated when they were cleaning up the spill, the spokesperson added.

    The radiation levels in the two hospitalised men were at or above 4 becquerels per square centimetre, the threshold which is considered safe.

  • I think more people would understand what you mean if you asked for community recommendations (or space recommendations if you want to use the Matrix-specific term). What Discord calls a "server" is not a server in any normal sense of the word, so it's going to confuse people who aren't Discord regulars, especially when we're talking about a different network that has actual servers and self-hosting support.

  • You log in, confirm it with another device (better hope it’s nearby! That first setup of a 2nd client is a doozy of a feel bad, if it isn’t),

    Your devices don't have to be nearby to verify them. You can enter a key backup passphrase instead.

    then a few days later it just stops letting you do anything,

    That's not normal. Looks like you ran into a bug. Did you report it, so it can be tracked and fixed?

    I gather from their weekly reports that they've been fixing encryption bugs lately, and that the clients now in testing (the Element X code base) seem to have them solved. You might want to try those, or one of the third-party clients.

  • My bigger concern is the normalization of and exposure to those ideas and concepts

    The same concern has been behind attempts to restrict/ban violent video games, and films before that, and books before that. Despite generations of trying, I don't think a causal link has ever been established.

  • We have every reason to be skeptical of Google where privacy is concerned, but the design described here looks interesting. In particular, proxying only the off-site resources, and running them through two proxy layers from different providers.

    I still won't use Chrome, but if the design holds up to scrutiny, something like it on Firefox (with configurable independent proxy providers) could be appealing.
