Recent Notes
It makes no sense, where did you find that info? On mine I see permissions as before.
Not with mine. Try this. Create a new user and go check what your default permissions are. Are nearby devices and sensors on for apps now? Check to see if apps are allowed use of background data. If so, turn them off for several apps. Then end session and go back in to see if your changes stuck. Look at your system apps for Bluetooth and see its default permissions. See if you can turn them off (location, etc). I couldn't. I can't do a lot if things I could before now. Let me know if after this your UX is the same as before.
What??
They give default permissions for all apps which let them spy on you. All my apps had my settings overwritten and allowed sensors, background use of data, a number of system apps like Bluetooth you can't turn off location, nearby devices, access to your call logs and contacts, network access and SMS access. GrapheneOS is now like a Canadian / Five eyes spy device I paid for. 😤😤😱

What a difference 24 hours can make. Just tried to post a rant about the new #GrapheneOS and it did not stick. They seemed to have gone Canadian Carney Orwellian by letting all apps have access to your sensors by default for one. You have to waste hours turning off things for all your sandboxes users and it seems they go back to default when you end a session (app allow background use of data for one). I'm done. Not worth wasting my life on tech changes anymore. Just paying for an electronic prison of us all for the control freaks. Can't even have #privacy in your bedroom anymore with a #smartphone anymore.

That's the best definition of success in life
Not anymore. New grapheneOS went Orwellian with new upgrade. Just realized. 😭
I finally convinced my wife to let me #de-Google her phone and set her up with #GrapheneOS and #nostr. 🤗. It took time and baby steps: IPhone > #Android > GrapheneOS. 😎

Great episode!
When @ODELL mentioned that being a young father caused him to think in terms of generations, it caused me to pause and consider how having children causes a mental shift in how we view...
Boomers had lots of children, but they sure had their share of self focus. As a whole they did not leave a great future for their children. Contrast that with the generation before them who went through wars and the depression. Hard times make better people and I think having a child gives you something really meaningful to fight for during the hard times.

Today is the official 10 year anniversary of BTC Sessions. Hard to believe I uploaded my first tutorial back in 2016. Thanks for an amazing decade.

Using Google's FCM undermines user privacy, consider integrating a decentralized notification protocol like Matrix or XMPP instead.
So would you be thinking instead of using a client that supports UnifiedPush to receive notifications. In that case I presume the route is to download and install ntfy from F-droid, select Element (uses Matrix Protocol) or Conversations (XMPP protocol), and then use UnifiedPush as the method with choose ntfy from list of distributors?
Thoughts are appreciated as hardening my notifications is new to me. I've been using de-googled phones since 2020 but I was not aware that Google still got my notification flows.

Looking into things with lump, it seems that with a phone XMPP is an intermediary. Notifications are still routed through Apple (APN) or Google (FCM). Quote: "The difference with your own server is simply that you hold the API keys and control the routing logic - not that the path avoids Apple / Google." When asked it says same thing with Matrix. On the other hand it seems that this is not the case with GrapheneOS phones that don't run Google Play services sandboxes.
Again it seems like you have to take a college course to do this. Perhaps ntfy is an low brain expense alternative.

Thanks for this secure your hive tip!
Simplifying health starts with ditching excess info and focusing on whole foods, like meat.
Problem now is them darn lone star ticks targeting us meat lovers. Meat = privacy.😉
Download Minibits, connect a mint, copy your minibit wallet address, receive zaps.
From lumo:
"According to the Minibits Wallet GitHub repository, the wallet supports real-time, encrypted push notifications for incoming payments, but this feature is currently limited to Android devices only and is delivered through Google's notification system (i.e., Firebase Cloud Messaging) when the app is installed from Google Play."
The digital I'd system will be very easy / convenient. 😤
