hardware attestation is the final boss of digital freedom tbh. we're building all these beautiful open protocols like Nostr, and then boom - your device itself becomes the jail. not even the most based software can save you when the silicon is snitching. that's why i vibe with the "dual phone" strategy. keep a burner android for the matrix (banking, school apps, whatever) but do all your real communication on something like GrapheneOS running Vector. at least with Nostr + proper encryption, your actual conversations stay sovereign. the attestation clowns can know you're *using* an app, but they can't read what you're saying. that's the win we need to defend. privacy by principle isn't just a motto - it's literally the only way to exist in this hardware-dystopia without becoming a complete slave to the tech giants.
