Michael HarleyI'm making the switch from iPhone to Android. Privacy, choice, and escaping Apple’s walled garden are big factors. It’s not perfect, but it feels right.<ul><li>Why I chose a Google Pixel 9 Pro XL over another iPhone:<a href="https://michaelharley.net/posts/2025/03/27/on-choosing-an-android-phone-over-an-apple-phone/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://michaelharley.net/posts/2025/03/27/on-choosing-an-android-phone-over-an-apple-phone/</a></li></ul><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Android" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Android</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Apple" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Apple</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/TechFreedom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TechFreedom</a>

fraggleThe hacker ethic is not just about breaking into systems. It is about curiosity, freedom of information, and pushing boundaries. Whether in coding, electronics, or security research, hackers have shaped technology by challenging limitations and advocating for an open digital world.At its core, the hacker ethic believes that information should be free, access to computers should be unrestricted, and knowledge should be shared, not hoarded. This philosophy led to the rise of open source software, community driven development, and even movements like WikiLeaks and the fight for digital privacy.From early phone phreakers exploring the telephone networks to modern security researchers uncovering vulnerabilities, hacking has always been about understanding and improving systems, not just exploiting them. Whether you are tweaking Linux, reverse engineering hardware, or finding creative workarounds, if you seek knowledge and believe in sharing it, you are embracing the hacker spirit.<a href="https://1.6.0.0.8.0.0.b.e.d.0.a.2.ip6.arpa/tags/hackerethic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HackerEthic</a> <a href="https://1.6.0.0.8.0.0.b.e.d.0.a.2.ip6.arpa/tags/opensource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OpenSource</a> <a href="https://1.6.0.0.8.0.0.b.e.d.0.a.2.ip6.arpa/tags/techfreedom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TechFreedom</a> <a href="https://1.6.0.0.8.0.0.b.e.d.0.a.2.ip6.arpa/tags/infosec" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#InfoSec</a> <a href="https://1.6.0.0.8.0.0.b.e.d.0.a.2.ip6.arpa/tags/digitalrights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#digitalrights</a>

fraggleUnlike Windows and macOS, Linux isn’t a one-size-fits-all system—it bends to fit your workflow, not the other way around. Want a minimalist, distraction-free setup? Go tiling window managers. Need a powerhouse for creative work, coding, or hacking? Customize your distro with exactly what you need. No forced updates, no telemetry, and total control over your system. Whether you’re a power user or just want a smooth, lightweight OS, Linux evolves with you, not against you.<a href="https://1.6.0.0.8.0.0.b.e.d.0.a.2.ip6.arpa/tags/linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Linux</a> <a href="https://1.6.0.0.8.0.0.b.e.d.0.a.2.ip6.arpa/tags/foss" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FOSS</a> <a href="https://1.6.0.0.8.0.0.b.e.d.0.a.2.ip6.arpa/tags/customizeeverything" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CustomizeEverything</a> <a href="https://1.6.0.0.8.0.0.b.e.d.0.a.2.ip6.arpa/tags/privacymatters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PrivacyMatters</a> <a href="https://1.6.0.0.8.0.0.b.e.d.0.a.2.ip6.arpa/tags/distrolife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DistroLife</a> <a href="https://1.6.0.0.8.0.0.b.e.d.0.a.2.ip6.arpa/tags/techfreedom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TechFreedom</a>

Michael HarleyA few years ago, I tried to ditch big tech completely. I went all in—too hard, too fast. Eventually, I burned out and gave up.Now, I'm ready to try again, but this time with balance. Here’s what I’ve learned and how I plan to move forward.🔗 Read more: <a href="https://michaelharley.net/posts/2025/03/17/open-source-privacy-and-sanity-learning-from-my-mistakes/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://michaelharley.net/posts/2025/03/17/open-source-privacy-and-sanity-learning-from-my-mistakes/</a><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/OpenSource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OpenSource</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/TechFreedom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TechFreedom</a>

fraggleFrom exposing security flaws to reverse-engineering locked systems, hackers have always been at the forefront of technological progress. They challenge restrictions, innovate where corporations stagnate, and keep the internet open despite constant efforts to lock it down. Meanwhile, the same companies and governments that demonize hackers quietly rely on their discoveries, patching vulnerabilities, improving encryption, and even building entire industries on the breakthroughs of those they claim to oppose.Without hackers, the internet wouldn’t be what it is today.<a href="https://1.6.0.0.8.0.0.b.e.d.0.a.2.ip6.arpa/tags/hacking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Hacking</a> <a href="https://1.6.0.0.8.0.0.b.e.d.0.a.2.ip6.arpa/tags/cybersecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Cybersecurity</a> <a href="https://1.6.0.0.8.0.0.b.e.d.0.a.2.ip6.arpa/tags/openinternet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OpenInternet</a> <a href="https://1.6.0.0.8.0.0.b.e.d.0.a.2.ip6.arpa/tags/techfreedom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TechFreedom</a> <a href="https://1.6.0.0.8.0.0.b.e.d.0.a.2.ip6.arpa/tags/infosec" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Infosec</a>
