I use GrapheneOS and have reviewed a lot of the documentation in the OS and built in apps. They like to pair the words privacy and security together in that documentation. The info sheet for the chromium degoogled browser they developed called Vanadium is very focused on both aspects. I personally think the two concepts go hand in hand.

Its also the first time I’ve used a non-firefox type of browser in almost a decade. It feels weird, but they are good at describing why it’s more secure in GrapheneOS due to its superior ability to maintain app sandboxes, which is a big reason I use the OS. Full control over what apps can see on my device.

Also, the climate control is all on smaller screen that just displays info with the climate system. The infotainment has nothing to do with the climate controls.

I highly recommend Mazda if this is something you care about. I had a 2016 Mazda 3, and now I have a 2022 Mazda 3. The infotainment is all controlled though a physical knob and buttons, the climate control is all physical buttons. I am not sure if the screen is even a touch screen… I don’t think it is, but I have never attempted to touch it since I was so used to using the physical knob system in my old 2016. The physical buttons are why I picked my current 3 turbo up over the WRX I also tested. The WRX and the other Subaru’s I checked out all annoyed me with forcing use of the touch screen snd buttons to change the climate settings. I hope Mazda never changes that aspect of their cars. Not sure if the other models also do this, but I don’t see why they would.

I sometimes still hum the opening theme to Silver Star Story from my time playing the OG on PSX when it released. The game is just wonderful, hopeful, and fun. Enjoy!

A funky groove to fuck fight to!

Me reading this :

1st line : yeah, I’ve never noticed this before, but if it bothers you; hell yeah get that celery out of there. 2nd line : I agree with all of these statements 3rd line : … goddamn…

A minute later : You know what, fuck Campbell’s! I’m won over. That third line is legit.

Kiwi Rook giving out that armor and being a friend. Gotta love it.

Seeing you here makes Lemmy feel even more like home… Thank you for all you do!

I think that was called project aria or ara… something like that. A fully modular phone seems so great! I hope that concept is used someday like the Framework uses on their laptops for ports.
