@lily@social.whytheyfight.com That’s a fair point. To me, this is the absolute baseline that should be integrated into every OS.Taping over cameras on a smartphone isn't exactly a solution, though it’s still somewhat acceptable for a laptop. Even with the hardware indicators on my MacBook Pro, having that granular software-level control on GrapheneOS just feels much more robust. It's about having that peace of mind knowing the hardware is actually dormant when you're not using it.

@thomas@friendica.tomforge.de Thanks for the heads-up! I’ve seen OpenCloud mentioned a few times. Adding it to my "to-test" backlog for when I finally have some breathing room. Right now, Cloudreve is doing the heavy lifting, but I’m always down to benchmark a leaner alternative.

@tomjennings@tldr.nettime.org Exactly. It’s not about being a "hacker" or playing 007 . It’s simply an OS for people who want to decide for themselves what content to consume and when. No algorithms, no data harvesting — just pure freedom.That’s a fair point regarding paranoia. If anonymity is the goal, you have to be paranoid; a single slip-up and your entire OpSec crumbles.But for me, it’s not about anonymity—it’s about basic data hygiene. People often say, "I have nothing to hide, let them watch," but it's not about hiding, it's about data sovereignty. It’s like watching a complete stranger rummage through your laundry and saying, "It’s fine, I have nothing to hide in there."
