Turning on the iPhone’s Stolen Device Protection is simple—it’s just one small toggle in your phone’s settings.
There is one crucial detail that the article doesn’t mention: Find My iPhone must be enabled to enable SDP. That is to say, enabling Find My (along with biometric authentication) is a prerequisite for SDP.
The official GrapheneOS Twitter account states the complete opposite on several occasions:

Many people have the misconception that they’re defeating the purpose of GrapheneOS by using privacy invasive apps but in fact the opposite is true. If you want to use those apps, then using GrapheneOS allows you to protect your privacy from them far better than another OS.

GrapheneOS arguably makes the biggest difference for someone who is going to be using a bunch of mainstream apps including very privacy invasive ones. They need features like Storage Scopes and Contact Scopes more.

You’ll substantially benefit from our privacy and security features without making significant changes to your apps. In fact, you’ll benefit more from features like Storage Scopes, Contact Scopes, Sensors toggle, etc. if you use a bunch of very privacy invasive apps.

I’ve been really enjoying the podcast Four Play on the Last Free Nation Culture channel: https://piped.video/@LastFreeNationCulture https://www.youtube.com/@LastFreeNationCulture
What RSS is recommended?
To add on to the video transcript that @jet@hackertalks.com posted, here is Jonah’s post from the Privacy Guides forum that more or less summarizes the video: https://discuss.privacyguides.net/t/clarify-tors-weaknesses-with-respect-to-observability/3676/14
It also includes links to useful resources and noteworthy articles referenced in the video, like the case regarding the deanonymized Tor user and the Harvard network admins. You can also toggle dark mode on the forum website, which is useful for those using anti-fingerprinting browsers such as Tor Browser or Mullvad Browser.
Season 4 of The Boys
Release of KDE Plasma 6
I use Stremio + Torrentio and the torrents that are cached show up but can’t play anything at the moment.
I am also encountering this; “Playback error, please try again” is the error message that Stremio presents.
Philip K. Dick’s Electric Dreams (joint UK and US production, premiered first on Channel 4)
great ones that never took off in the states
This TV series fits this description to a T because I reckon that most people, when thinking of a sci-fi TV anthology series, would bring to mind Black Mirror.
I watched Electric Dreams shortly after finishing the latest season of Black Mirror; I found the former more enjoyable and poignant than the latter.
I want an android style permissions menu
Same. In addition to the prompt-based permissions that @Kusimulkku@lemm.ee brings up, I’d like to see more granular control of permissions. For example, a flatpak app’s access to webcams, controllers, etc. are all controlled through just one permission: --device=all (aka “Device Access” in KDE’s Flatpak Permission Settings).
2FAS which seems recommended for data privacy.
By whom?
There is a discussion in the Privacy Guides forum on 2FAS that you might want to read.
Also, you don’t specify which platform you’re using. As @I_Am_Jacks_____@lemmings.world mentioned, Aegis for Android is great. For iOS, the pull request to include ente Auth in the Privacy Guides recommendation page for authenticator apps is already merged. It will reflect on the live website once the Privacy Guides team decides to release v3.17 of the site.
I completely agree with the last sentiment you shared! I think of Cloud Atlas as a flawed gem and am glad to have watched it at least once.
When I feel very bored, I go to the Wikipedia page of a movie that I do not intend to watch anytime soon and just read the entire plot write-up, as well as the “Critical Response” subsection.
Cloud Atlas (2012)
I didn’t think the plot of the film was too confusing, but trying to keep track of which cast member played which character in each respective time period while watching the film was challenging.
I didn’t grasp the implications of the final scene with Aaron and the workers until I checked the plot write-up on Wikipedia.
Hopefully, this release also includes this fix for forced Vsync for fullscreen games under KDE Wayland.
I watched The Maltese Falcon (1941) for the first time yesterday. The story is super engaging and Humphrey Bogart absolutely crushes it as Sam Spade.
EDIT: If you’re looking for just a watch list, then images like this might be up your alley [Link to original tweet containing the image] [Nitter link]. The watch list is posted on Twitter or YouTube around the time the Four Play podcast finishes a film genre and announces their next one. (The image I linked is a watch list for film noir posted around the time they concluded a month of 1980s vampire films.)
If you’re up for another recommendation, something that I’ve been enjoying that fits your request is the podcast, “Four Play,” hosted on the Last Free Nation Culture YouTube Channel. Here’s the premise of the podcast quoted from the video description of one of their most recent episodes:
Four Play selects four iconic films from a theme or genre to meticulously analyze and place in their proper historical context. Hosted by veteran esports commentators Richard Lewis, Duncan “Thorin” Shields, and Christopher “MonteCristo” Mykles, Four Play showcases both legendary Hollywood movies as well as hidden gems outside the mainstream.
What this description doesn’t mention is that episodes drop once a week and the theme of the month, as well as a list of the four films selected, are announced in advance on their YouTube community page or Twitter page.
To address specific aspects of the Criterion Channel in your post that Four Play also provides:
put together a list of 6-12 movies
After they review the last of the four films of a selected theme, they recommend a list of films of that same theme that did not make the four, but are worth viewing if you’re interested in that theme. For example, here’s their list of cosmic horror films at the end of their review of From Beyond (1986) [timestamped Piped link] [timestamped YouTube link].
overview of the theme
Whenever they begin a theme or genre, they give an intro to the genre and the historical context. They provided an overview of cosmic horror in the inaugural episode of the podcast in which they discussed The Thing (1982) [timestamped Piped] [timestamped YouTube].
the curated list for a given theme gets me to branch out from what I may typically watch in that I know it’s generally going to be a good movie
For me, at least, I generally enjoyed the films that were introduced to me through this podcast. I think what they excel at is recommending these lesser known films that you might find are underrated bangers. In their month of cosmic horror, for example, they reviewed The Thing and Annihilation (2018), two well-known movies that have been in the cultural conversation, but also Event Horizon (1997) and From Beyond, two lesser known movies that are, if not severely underrated, worth watching at least once for the experience.
The Thirteenth Floor (1999)
I watched The Dark Knight (2008) for the first time just now. It was a film that I wanted to watch for a while.
Aside from the Two-Face scenes, which get old very quickly, I think that the Dark Knight is an absolute banger of a film.
For Fedora, replace the current installer (Anaconda) with the openSUSE Tumbleweed installer.
One of the aspects I love about the openSUSE TW installer is the ability to remove groups of packages for the initial install. This is particularly useful if you never use certain programs or intend to replace them with the Flatpak version.
