Memes and analogies become tools of resistance, subtle yet impactful. In many ways, this also mirrors a global trend of how people, across countries, use humour, sarcasm, and historical allusions to critique authorities in indirect yet powerful ways.
So, the hat tip here isn't just about the adaptability of Chinese social media users, but also about how this dynamic exemplifies the resilience of human expression under constraints, where even memes become vehicles of socio-political commentary.

#asknostr what is your favorite lightening wallet to run on #GOS without GSF running in the background.

Does this exist? Good idea, but to work the attacker would need to keep cellular service turned on. With #GOS you can set up separate user profiles to 'hide' sensitive app's or data. Plus they have recently introduced a duress pin, which wipes the phone if entered.

When I was in the UK recently, I heard a few first-hand experiences of mobile phone thefts by force, which resulted in a lot of financial and emotional harm. The police are dealing with record-high cases of "theft from the person (https://www.ft.com/content/26be349d-4717-4815-a221-a749e29de2b2)" events. When you think about it, if someone threatens to cut off your arm with a machete unless you hand over your unlocked phone you are probably going to do it, unless you are Jackie Chan..! So I started looking into how to mitigate the harm if something like this happened to me. This took me down a massive rabbit hole about personal security and privacy practices, and having addressed the original threat thanks to @npub1235…0ht5, I'm now actively reducing my reliance on big tech, aka surveillance capitalism, which is all part of becoming a more #selfsovereign individual.

I transitioned to #GOS recently, it is such a liberating feeling.
I took the additional step of never running Google Services Framework on my ‘owner profile’ and using only apps that are #FOSS or don't require GSF.
I have another profile for the occasions when I need to use such apps requiring GSF. This slight inconvenience is a good way of making me think twice about installing apps and which ones, if I do.
It’s definitely a journey with a fair few workarounds… for instance, I haven't found a good backup solution for data held by apps so I have installed Protonmail’s Drive which auto sync’s photos to the cloud.
