grapesurgeon··on Daniel Micay publicly steps down from GrapheneOS
if you criticize him or say anything remotely positive or cordial about techlore, calyxos or any of his other "enemies", you get blocked/banned and the matrix will relentlessly stalk your accounts, ready to pounce on you the moment you say anything else negative. its happened to me before. they have an entire matrix room where they seethe about what people say, sharing every post and account on the internet they deem harmful.
grapesurgeon··on EPFL cancels Stallman's lecture citing “the situation regarding” his persona
if this is referring to his past controversies, i fail to see how this is 'cancel culture'. if he says controversial shit that other organizations dont want to be associated with, its up to him to deal with the consequences of that. he has the right to express his views just like anyone else has the right to not want to be associated with him and those views.

could someone fill me in on what situation they are referring to?
grapesurgeon··on Students can’t get off their phones. Schools have had enough
if i ever become a parent, i wouldnt give my kids a phone until highschool, and even then i would be heavily restricting their ability to use it for anything besides basic communication and browsing - block social media and porn via dns, disallow installing apps without my permission. signal, email, calls, maps, a browser, notes and camera+pictures. thats it. no stupid social media apps, no games, music would be a maybe if they could demonstrate responsibility to stop listening to it when its time to do a task.

fuck phones.

grapesurgeon··on I'm never investing in Google's smart home ecosystem again
this is NOT the actual domain. do not share this around. the only domain is https://revanced.app, and it will redirect to their github.
grapesurgeon··on Ask HN: What is the best password manager available today?
initially started with dashlane, but it was such a pain in the ass that i never used it. when i started getting my shit together security-wise, i signed up for bitwarden then hosted vaultwarden for a little while. i have keepassxc with syncthing a shot and im probably going to stick with this setup.

i have very little confidence recommending anything other than bitwarden/vaultwarden or keepassxc

grapesurgeon··on Minetest: An open source voxel game engine
its an interesting project with a lot of promise, but its not something id rather play over minecraft honestly. i hate what microsoft has done with minecraft for sure though.
grapesurgeon··on Framework announces AMD, new Intel gen, 16“ laptop and more
i really hope the battery is much better than the pathetic 3 hours i get from my current one. as im writing this, ive used my laptop for around 3 hours, 20 minutes was to run a kvm and the rest is just a browser, and im at 18% remaining.

i might have said before that i regret getting the framework, i might think about upgrading my mainboard and battery if it turns out to be working well. key word "maybe"...

grapesurgeon··on Dancing is stupid
i think it might just be due to not being considered relevant to what hn posts are usually about, and is just an emotionally charged blogpost.
grapesurgeon··on Z-Library Returns on the Clearnet in Full Hydra-Mode
i frankly dont see what on earth this actually does. when users sign up, their account gets hooked up with a randomly generated subdomain for some domain that 1lib.(some tld). what fundamentally makes it harder for domains to be revoked like the 200 or whatever that were revoked before? i dont think it would be that hard for lawyers to just generate a bunch of fake accounts, take note of the domains and report them. or even better just go after the singlelogin.me domain
grapesurgeon··on Mastodon.lol will shut down on May 9, 2023
from what i understand, he was getting tons of harassment because he wasn't folding to the outrage mob and decided it wasn't worth the stress of keeping it up. i wouldnt call it a toddlers playground
grapesurgeon··on I made a website for lonely people, and got >100 people to log their locations
this reminds me of the game Kind Words by popcannibal, like just a chill place where people share their frustrations and just wanna be heard. https://popcannibal.com/kindwords

i do recommend adding an option for people to change the scope of their location, such as limiting to just state/region, country or continent for privacy reasons.

this is a really cool idea

grapesurgeon··on Tell HN: Whole Yandex Git repository leaked
magnet is on breachforums and 4chan, so if anyone wants to take a look check those places, not to hard to find
