⚡️How Above Phone Protects You from GPS Tracking
@takebackourtech

In our Open Source Navigation webinar, I explain that when you use a normal SUPL service on a big tech phone you're sending over a lot of information, like unique identifiers, to Google.

Above Phone (via GrapheneOS) keeps you protected by running a proxy server so you don’t have to connect to Google GPS services.

❤️ Decentralized Medicine In Pakistan @takebackourtech

Hey friends! I'm currently visiting my home country of Pakistan for the first time in 25 years since moving to the US.

Its been a fun trip spending time with family and attending wedding parties, but it wouldn't be a trip without experiencing something truly inspiring.

The residents of Pakistan, especially the ones in this neighborhood deal with many problems such as widespread job scarcity, lack of running water, electricity, and natural gas to cook food.

However ancient medicine technology and creative entrepreneurship are coming together to give the people here a glimmer of hope.

Thanks to the Hamdard Foundation, people in all areas of Pakistan get access to herbal medicine through these mobile dispensary units, all completely for free.

I'll be in Pakistan for a few more days recording videos to learn about the medicine and these programs. I will be publishing them sometime in January! Stay tuned.

I believe charitable programs like these will help move humanity through its darkest hour.

‘Service to humanity is one of the noblest attributes a man can acquire’. - Hakim Mohammed Said

Currently watching the internet melt down over Elon boldly lying about being good at video games. Pretty damning evidence here on one of his live streams that he's been having someone play Diablo 3 for him so he can pretend to be one of the best in the world.

I find it really hilarious that out of the all of the questionable things he's said over the years, acting like he knows everything about politics, science, and software - it takes him lying about a video game to be exposed.

Could a guy who's unafraid to lie about something as stupid as this also be lying about his other accomplishments?
