I have a friend who has a 'burner phone'.
Except it's a stock Samsung install and this person has it on all the time, right next to their normal phone, so fuck, useless as per its intent.
As per the 'probably always on, unless you managed to find the setting' recording and advert-matching above, endemic surveillance is everywhere now, yo; We've wholly-idiotically- complicitly blundered into a near-1984 level of surveillance.
Fuckers here and everywhere need to start ditching FB and G, building low-tech receiver phone/modules and making grid/darknet networks.
If people don't start mass-legitimising some level of hackerdom and parallel buy-in to that, we're fucked.
The Internet - the 'web' - is fucked.
We need a back-up plan.

- "dumb phones"imbecile
- isn't your second half just referring to ham radio?imbecile
- no, sorry - meant 'mesh' rather than 'grid'.
My bad. Smart extended wifi, essentially.detritus - My work phone is a 'dumb' phone.
Works great.
Except texting.
I forgot what old texting is like.detritus - just don't install everything on your phone, for example: fb and fb messenger is a bad idea...sted
- I know. I know. This person's paranoid about external interventions... yet uses WhatsApp extensively. I mean, really?detritus
- I'm trying to convince a client to make a two-phone RF-shielded pouch thing, so that people can have a hard reset point.detritus
- I agree with this 100% regardless of cider/joints consumed.fadein11
- Makes sense to me, but surely old texting technology is less secure in someways than even Whatsapp?Ianbolton
- My weed dealer is paranoid AF about even having a phone, even though you can smell his car all over town.Ianbolton
