Gboard is somehow still the best, the native android keyboard is hardly usable. I use it on GrapheneOS, but with network permissions removed. Haven't had an issue so far


Put simply, it is completely anonymous: users cannot be tracked. Third, the app works on any device – phone, tablet, computer, you name it. And, finally, it is fully open source – everyone can check the code. would be awesome if it was true


Pity that the phones, tablets and major OSes are basically owned by foreign powers.

One way to complain, https://european-union.europa.eu/contact-eu/write-us_en


It's also a lie that it's completely anonymous - you are given a pseudonym per domain and websites can easily track you through it even without an account. It's a surveillance instrument and everyone should stay far away from it.


Same here. 36% German, 31% Autistic. Funny thing is, I am actually German. I wonder how many Germans would be classified as German via this survey


I have been using GrapheneOS now for 8 month and its been quite a smooth ride. The biggest worry I had was flashing it onto a brand new Pixel phone I had just bought. Everything else works fine though. Currently using 3 (german) banking apps and I haven't had a single issue. Also still using Google apps like camera and maps. Also Gboard as the default GrapheneOS keyboard is a bit uncomfortable. Really nice that you can just remove the network permissions and it works like a charm


you have to call it on the cdn page: https://cdn.dos.zone/vcsky/release/vc-sky-en-v5/game.js reload on the original page an then it works


I find a that actually a disturbing assumption. I've learned a lot from reading other peoples code, seeing how they were thinking and spotting errors, so the good and the bad. I believe that in order to actually write good code its important to actually understand what is the context of the task which basically requires a lot of code reading, which is also sometimes quite enjoyable when you have competent authors. Reading code is an essential part of the game. If you cannot do that you'll just create huge balls of mud with or without ai usage. Though using ai will speedrun the mud so yeah, there is an argument for not using it.


To each his own, I guess. I learn by doing.

To be clear, I’m not saying there is nothing interesting in the code of others, obviously. However, reading code is, in my opinion, twice as hard as writing it. Especially understanding the structure is very hard.


I can second that, super cheap with 1$ per 1000 pages


Does it also work on android? Afaik ebpf is also available there.


Not today, maybe one day!

Edit: Another user posted a link to https://github.com/gojue/ecapture which looks like it supports android and has some overlapping functionality.


Look into HTTP Toolit for android (not affiliated with it at all, it's just that cool a tool)


Thanks, I didn't know about consent-o-matic, will try it out. If it works that will be the best extension in a long time.


In the end it comes down to the actual implementation. The article states that the data stored is just a hash of the iris scan. From that hash accounts can be created that can be used to verify against that hash to make sure your are an actual person. According to the twitter post multiple accounts can be created and and used for verification independently, so indeed providing some privacy. So the question that remains is can the world id be used to discover these accounts, which would be bad. That question remains unanswered. There is of course the point that you have to trust Sam Altman that the system works the way it is claimed and no actual biometric data is stored.
