@aral i gather you will explain how the ind.ie phone will be using an open source, auditable baseband firmware as well? :) -
.@xxcoeur66xx Sure, as soon as you sign that billion-dollar check you’re writing us to build it :) Till we can, we’ll treat it as untrusted.

@xxcoeur66xx Not our goal. If NSA is targeting you directly nothing can (you’re a civilian up against a military)

@aral bullcrap, or did you miss the news about vacuuming as a surveillance doctrine.

@aral I wasn't kidding about the disingenuity of using OSS while simultaneously mocking it, though. It's why I've avoided getting involved -
@sil I hear you — check your email; tried to explain in more than 140 character chunks. -
@aral did I miss this email? I don't seem to have it. -
@sil Umm… did I send it to an old address? Can you DM me your current one (or ping me at aral@ind.ie)? Sorry! :) -
@aral I doubt it -- I've had the same address for a decade ;) sil at symbol kryogenix period org -
@sil Scratch that — it’s sitting in my outbox with apparently no recipient — wtf? Give me a sec :) -
@aral lulz. You clearly need better technology. Can I suggest http://ubuntu.com ? ;) -
@sil I clearly do. Or someone at Apple doesn’t like you — damn email not taking your address. Oddest thing. *goes to try again*
