    The problem with copyright/data ownership is that it’s useless if you’re unable to enforce it. Data is replicable, doesn’t matter if you call it “work” or “ideas”. Do you think you own the text you just wrote? Let me show you something.

    Spoiler

    We aren’t talking about “ideas” being stolen here, we’re talking about work being stolen and exploited for corporate profit.

    Personally I don’t think it’s crazy to suggest that the person who writes a book should own it, the people who compose a song should own it, the artists who paints a painting should own it, etc.

    As much as techbros love to pretend that AI is ushering us into a post-capitalist, post-copyright Star Trek future, it is actually in fact doing the exact opposite–it’s empowering the biggest and richest tech companies to exploit human creativity in the largest industrial plagiarism scheme in history, all so some bullshit VC investors can gain their way up the pyramid scheme known as the stock market.

    There. I just stole your text. I stole it. I own it now. It’s mine now. What are you gonna do about it?

    Instead there is no stealing when it comes to information, there’s only replication, there’s only copying.

    I agree with you, corpos shouldn’t have this amount of power. But you won’t get there by trying to protect the work of artists writers etc with the exact same scheme corpos pulled to protect their power and interests. Like, it didn’t work, did it? No copyright for me, thanks

    If it’s really just pictures and contacts, do it manually. Contacts app should have an export function. Pictures you can just copy via USB.

    Messages are usually cloud-stored nowadays right? Do you have more than idk 5 different messaging apps? If you don’t, and one or some of them for some reason don’t store messages on some server, find out if you can do it manually, most apps should have export/import functionality (not just messaging apps btw). For standard SMS though, no idea.

    I would be much more okay with corpos or states invading my privacy if anything actually useful would come of it, but it kinda doesn’t. I left corpo social media behind not because it was hungry for what data I could provide it, but because it used mine and others user data to make itself worse. And the desire to drop my smartphone and go full dumb tech or no tech at all grows with every passing day. But the paranoia every privacy-concious person experiences sooner or later, some more intense than others, was not something initial for me.

    edit: … as was privacy-burnout. I always keep that in mind, I try ro remember, that the reason privacy bothers me is not (only) to protect myself. It’s not a futile fight for independence of anything, it’s tied to a vision I have of the world.and the future

    Hope this makes sense I have the feeling what I write often doesn’t

    There’s this article in a German IT sec blog which compares the more well-known privacy focused ROMs. If you have any way to translate it, you should check it out. It is a really nice addition to the Eylenburg comparison.

    i want customization to my os as long as this is possible

    I was rocking Ressurection Remix and Xposed on my old Note 4 and customized the hell out of it. I’m on Graphene now and I don’t miss it a bit. Maybe a little.

    Graphene can be installed on your phone via a web browser on a PC on laptop. You should install it and try it out, it’s very easy.

    SteamOS will most likely be deployed on other handheld PCs, not desktop PCs. The handheld PCs that came out in response to the deck’s release (or before) usually run Windows.

    Android is not bad because Android itself is bad (well… it kinda is but let’s just assume it isn’t), but because the phone manufacturers lock down their phones’ hardware. They do this to force you into their ecosystem. With SteamOS, you already have an ecosystem, which is Steam. There is (at least for now) a clear distinction between Hardware manufacturer and software provider.

    For now at least Androidization is nothing you should worry about. Maybe in 10, 20 years. edit: and even then it’s never going to be as bad as with the smartphones

    So this is interesting… My favorite of the definitions of “opinion” I found is

    belief stronger than impression and less strong than positive knowledge

    Because I was about to say that it’s impossible not to have an opinion, which might not be entirely correct.

    In DBT we were told that there are helpful, consequential and inconsequential ehm… evaluations? Assessments? Judgments? I don’t know the exact translation. Anyway, an important thing I realized then was that opinions/values etc are not something you form consciously, they just kinda pop up in your head and change shapes depending on what you learn and experience. You are able to detach from your opinions, look at them from the outside.

    edit: so what I ultimately wanted to tell you is that you can do this detachment thing with other people’s opinions as well.
