What’s The Strangest Thing You Do
When I feel very bored, I go to the Wikipedia page of a movie that I do not intend to watch anytime soon and just read the entire plot write-up, as well as the "Critical Response" subsection.

Pixel owners, what are your thoughts about GrapheneOS?
Reply in thread
literally a stock Pixel phone with missing features
Does the stock Pixel operating system have a network permission toggle that can limit any app's access to the internet pre- or post-install?
Does the stock Pixel OS have storage scopes or contact scopes, both of which give you granular control over what data an app can see/access?

What's the best strategy for changing to GrapheneOS?
Reply in thread
The official GrapheneOS Twitter account states the complete opposite on several occasions:
https://nitter.net/GrapheneOS/status/1692002070650335259#m
Many people have the misconception that they're defeating the purpose of GrapheneOS by using privacy invasive apps but in fact the opposite is true. If you want to use those apps, then using GrapheneOS allows you to protect your privacy from them far better than another OS.
https://nitter.net/GrapheneOS/status/1728630943886270827#m
GrapheneOS arguably makes the biggest difference for someone who is going to be using a bunch of mainstream apps including very privacy invasive ones. They need features like Storage Scopes and Contact Scopes more.
https://nitter.net/GrapheneOS/status/1745532453215781151#m
You'll substantially benefit from our privacy and security features without making significant changes to your apps. In fact, you'll benefit more from features like Storage Scopes, Contact Scopes, Sensors toggle, etc. if you use a bunch of very privacy invasive apps.

What were some movies you had to look up explanations of after watching?
Cloud Atlas (2012)
I didn't think the plot of the film was too confusing, but trying to keep track of which cast member played which character in each respective time period while watching the film was challenging.

To add on to the video transcript that @[email protected] posted, here is Jonah's post from the Privacy Guides forum that more or less summarizes the video: https://discuss.privacyguides.net/t/clarify-tors-weaknesses-with-respect-to-observability/3676/14
It also includes links to useful resources and noteworthy articles referenced in the video, like the case regarding the deanonymized Tor user and the Harvard network admins. You can also toggle dark mode on the forum website, which is useful for those using anti-fingerprinting browsers such as Tor Browser or Mullvad Browser.

I subscribed to the MySudo plan that gives you 3 virtual phone numbers.
I created a free Privacy.com account and made a purchase with a virtual card.

I didn't grasp the implications of the final scene with Aaron and the workers until I checked the plot write-up on Wikipedia.

Turning on the iPhone’s Stolen Device Protection is simple—it’s just one small toggle in your phone’s settings.
There is one crucial detail that the article doesn't mention: Find My iPhone must be enabled to enable SDP. That is to say, enabling Find My (along with biometric authentication) is a prerequisite for SDP.
