Privacy community, I need your help.
I want a DUMB TV.
Mainstream panels now ship with ACR fingerprinting (automated content recognition) and account gates because your viewing data beats the hardware margin.
I want a panel. Just a panel. Something that properly drives an Apple TV 4K (HDR, Dolby Vision, Atmos passthrough via eARC, HDMI-CEC) and does nothing else.
Looking for setups that have held up long term.

From a Security POV: Flatpak > Snap > AppImage
Based on the attack surfaces:
- Flatpak stands out with strong sandboxing, granular permissions, and XDG portals, though shared runtimes remain a concern.
- Snap offers isolation and auto-updates but raises questions around snapd daemon risks and centralized repo reliance.
- AppImage prioritizes portability over security—limited containment and weak trust chains.
Thoughts? Did I miss anything?

@npub178l…pc86 is more affordable! Here’s the comparison I made: https://monogr.ph/668d52da6bc64d41840bc11c

Have you tried Mullvad yet? They are solid. #Mullvad

@npub1kwa…e0nj
I just saw the exciting news about the Pixel 9 and 9 Pro launch. 🎉 Couldn't help but notice your FAQ still lists the Pixel 8 series as the newest recommended devices.
1) Any thoughts on using the Pixel 9/9 Pro with GrapheneOS? Good time to buy?
2) When might we see official support for these shiny new devices?
3) Curious if they'll get the 7-year support and memory tagging like the Pixel 8?
Thanks for all your hard work keeping us secure!

🚨 A romance writer's worst nightmare: locked out of her Google Docs, flagged as inappropriate without clear reason. A cautionary tale about the risks of relying on big tech for your work. Consider using end-to-end encrypted alternatives like @npub1ykg…ch8k.
