Crazy story, but what did you actually do to warrant this type of response? This does not seem like the type of event to happen without cause.

> Why break this??

We already told you: people are likely brute-forcing URLs.

Remove the ability for your phone to get "apps" from an "app store" - the same ability allows a remote party full and unilateral access to your device without your consent nor knowledge. GrapheneOS is a great start if this reality bothers you.

It is a business, not a charity. Adjust your expectations accordingly, or expect disappointment.

Because Commons won't allow you to. Hilarious anyone thinks a license wards away scrapers, too.

Can't you just put a seatbelt on right before a collision?

A gun carried without one in the chamber is just a totem for emotional coddling, nothing more.

It may seem wild, but wilder still is having to manipulate small components under extreme duress in a sub-second period of time, while one or more lives suddenly depend on it. This is why almost all individuals who carry professionally or from experience do not use equipment with safety.

Some people choose to cower when there is danger, others choose to act in defense.

You may choose to call one group of people "normal", just as I could about the other, but it is plain to see how silly that is.

Why is every opinion qualified as "ex-military" always tend to be hyperbolic, technically incorrect and full of appeals to authority rather than actual factual information?

> There is no real-world situation where you are really just that much better at drawing and firing accurately that you will out-draw an adversary who drew on you first

There is, and it is called training. Get a timer, hit the range, and get your shots on target from concealment in under a second - while getting off the "x" - this is a standard I have trained many people to meet first-hand. And it doesn't take a specialist to get this level of training, either; it takes a few years, several thousands rounds of ammunition, and periodic maintenance, just like any craft.

> In a real world firefight you're either close enough where martial arts is relevant or you're not. If martial arts are relevant, then the guns are irrelevant.

Disparity of force - another well known concept you ought to familiarize yourself, especially as it is one of the most critical elements of legal defense in a shooting.

> Responsible citizens carry their guns in such a way that prioritizes the safety of those around them before their own personal safety.

Smart people legally carry a firearm to defend themselves and their family only from unexpected deadly threats. They would never intervene, get involved with, or otherwise "rescue" anyone else with lethal force. The "sheepdog" mentality you've put on display is honestly offensive and gives a bad name to firearms owners.

Please upload these photos to Commons, especially if you own the rights to them; photos taken in the US before 1930 can be shared even if they are not yours, too. These stories and associated artifacts are interesting and deserve to be shared, if you're comfortable with it.

Graphene is a fantastic operating system for Pixel devices. Simple, reliable and with plenty of security and privacy features to make you feel warm and fuzzy. System updates are automatic, actual phone functionality is flawless, perhaps the only complaint to be had is the quality of camera, which probably lacks proprietary drivers. Signal works fairly well - even without abusive Google Services installed, making this a perfect daily mobile driver. Much gratitude to the developers of this project.

Counter-point: Pixel 9 with GrapheneOS, location services off, Netguard installed and active; I engage with emergency services on a regular basis for work and always receive the public record which tracks the incident. The reported coordinates are almost always within 100' of my actual location, so YMMV.

This take demonstrates most people's inability to rationally threat-model: you would rather trust a known-abusive authority than an unknown-good samaritan, because of a false notion your bank balance is actually significant enough to warrant such an attack.

This hyperbole is extreme, and unnecessary. If your life depends on the ability to simulate a fake user on a phone, there are more significant problems than a lack of operating system features, and a general failure to defend in depth.

I don't think anyone is questioning the value for business. Marketing precision and accuracy come at a cost. That cost is the degradation of privacy; and by secondary order effect: human freedom, dignity and autonomy. That the resulting byproduct of this phenomenon is increased efficiency is irrelevant and uninteresting to the principal discussion.

> our demand inference uses only qualified, high‑precision intelligence to eliminate massive spam

I recommend taking the Voight-Kampff test yourself.

The Internet is a war zone: demanding made up rules for behavior online is as ineffectual as pleading for peace with the enemy during battle. Strap on a helmet if you're shell-shocked.

Service providers (especially mobile ones) often squat on large, unused IP blocks (of which the DoD has plenty of), especially at peak capacity. I suspect this is what occurred here.

What study has been performed to qualify the cost your product externalizes on the unsuspecting user, with their expectations of privacy, human dignity and all, o' great team of PhDs?

The solution to executing untrusted code is not to execute more untrusted code, especially through a tool which has not itself been "vetted".

Tor Browser is the only last remaining bastion for a semblance of privacy online, both through the network and hardened Firefox. Any other attempts, through VPN or otherwise, are frankly futile and only increase attack surface.

This cannot conscientiously be called a security tool, as it lacks:

- author attribution (in fact, a mockery is made of it)

- qualified independent security review and endorsement

- designs justifying irrational decisions such as unilateral superuser execution

- any sort of testing, validation or significant documentation of code functionality

- steps to undo whatever this does (since anything is possible, as all liability is explicitely disavowed)

This is not meant to discourage development, but such software should have a clear an EXPERIMENTAL disclaimer and not purport to secure anything; primum non nocere.

Total behavioral control through the augmentation of senses, emotions and all other sensibilities. Such political power is significantly more valuable than mere revenue.

Could you please comment on any security implications of executing community-generated vector tile content, compared to classic PNG decoding?

When is the last time you inspected your smoke detectors for covert audio/video surveillance components? And if you have not done so, why do you trust they do not possess such capabilities?

Even more ironic is how few actual legal protections are afforded to foreign nationals: the majority of Switzerland-based service users such as PM. They actually do not deserve respect due to blatant abuse of this tired and wrong motif to sell ineffectual products.

Which independent audit has validated such claims and can attest they are factual?
