The linked article does not talk about fungibility at all, let alone anything about NAFTA, HTS, CFR, or anything else concerning laws in place for fungibility.

This is anti-fungibility. Your dollar is not worth the same as somebody else’s dollar. P sure that’s illegal.

If your backups are encrypted and stored on a Google Drive account, there are no privacy issues minus Google knowing you are doing backups.

I wouldn’t personally do it, but I don’t see any issues with it if someone does this.

There are so many places to store data online. Just encrypt and upload it where you have space available.

AWS is cheap. Google Drive and iCloud are convenient. pCloud, sync.com, and any other online storage service are also great options. Just get your data offsite to avoid regional catastrophes.

Oh man, if they think WhatsApp is bad, go look at Twitter’s DM encryption implementation. They need to ban that app as well.

Google Drive and OneDrive offer versioning as far as I can tell.

Google drive does up to 100 versions or within 30 days.

If you are looking for longer term backups of versions, you will need to hard backup at least once every 30 days, which can also be stored on Google Drive.

Syncing with versioning is a solid backup of each state of a file and any changes it undergoes. Depending on how long you have it set to keep those changes, it can be an even better backup than a once daily backup. If you get hit with a deletion or corruption, just reload the previous version that isn’t deleted or corrupted.

It can be your offsite backup in the 3-2-1 backup policy.

So we don’t have perfect privacy?

It doesn’t move at all. If your hardware is compromised, then it doesn’t matter what apps or software you run, right? Its not under your control.

So which phone has libre baseband firmware?

If libre apps run on proprietary hardware, is it really under your control?

Can you name a phone that has libre hardware as an alternative?

Apple already fixed it years ago when they released iOS 12.

Backing up health records data

You can use iCloud to store your Health data, including health records, using end-to-end encryption (requires iOS 12 or later and two-factor authentication). Health and health records data is also included in local iTunes backups, if you’ve configured your iTunes backups to be encrypted.

Can you name a phone that has open source basebands that has a FLOSS license attached to it? Surely if you’re arguing against apple, you are not using a phone that has proprietary blobs in the firmware.

Read the original comment again.

What baseband firmware do you use? And who maintains that firmware?

Why does he hope they can swim? They’re on a boat. Is the boat going to sink or something?

Who else they gonna sell to?

How so?
