Freedom is still just a ribbon cable (or soldering iron) away!

Back when I had an iPhone I used Orion. It's not perfect, but it blocked the vast majority of ads for me.

That's really cool. Much of the hype around AI tends to focus on it acting like an intelligent human (which it doesn't do very well), but glosses over stuff like this (which it can do very well).

Now recursively create more layers until you have barely any free space left on the disk, then do some performance benchmarks. ;)

Seems like it would be fairly inefficient having to encrypt and decrypt data twice.

Always a relevant xkcd.

And to shut down the day of a total solar eclipse? That's extra mean.

Things like this make me glad I don't use Windows.

I was thinking more of using a debugger to see the API calls the app is making before SSL, not intercepting them over the network. Getting the secret would be harder but I assume it's stored somewhere in the app or app data and could be extracted. I'd be surprised if social media apps are storing it in the TPM.

I guess it comes down to whether it's easier/cheaper to do all of the above than to just buy a bunch of physical phones.

Ah yes, using AI to solve problems with AI.

Yeah, I'd think it would be more cost effective to record the API requests the apps send and simulate those. No way the servers can tell the difference (unless they update the API or something).

I'm still using my email from before I was 13 (don't tell Google).
