Do you use language tags in your comments and have language set in your profile?
It could be that you made the comment in one language and that language is set to be hidden now.
I think that primarily third-party cookies are the most problematic thing when browsing the web, they use that crap to track you across sites and use it for ad targeting and "dynamic pricing". Yeah, uBlock Origin will deal with most of it, but Google/Amazon/Meta/X are very aggressive, so I’d consider using different browsers for different activities, and having a more secure browser if you are dealing directly with Facebook and Google accs, something like Mullvad if you can get used to the default screen letterboxing. This, with the cookie purging, will help you avoid theirs and others' cross-site tracking - just remember that not saving cookies means you are going to unlog from the sites every time you close the browser.
My main browser for daily, relaxed stuff is LibreWolf. I set cookie exceptions for sites I want to stay logged (like Lemmy). Some stuff doesn’t work correctly on LibreWolf because of some stuff it purged from FireFox, so you can go and do some manual configuration to harden regular Firefox and use for streaming and such, can also use it with Chameleon addon to give you a different signature from when you are using the other browsers. You can also change your VPN location when you are using each browser, so one more thing to make you look like a different user for each and make it less likely to have your different activities linked together.
If you are more tech-savvy, try ungoogled-chromium, but it requires a lot of manual setup.
Yep, I saw a comment once like "GrapheneOS saves lives in countries under heavy censorship" as a tool for activists and such... but, really, do you know how accessible a phone that supports GrapheneOS is in such countries? I'm from Brazil, and among third world countries we are one of the most developed, but it's about 8x as hard for us to get a Pixel phone compared to the USA (about double the price and about four times lower wages), and for really censored places it would be even harder!
That's quite interesting, did you have other sort of compulsory ID before the national one? Like, what did you use to register to stuff, like enrolling in school or college, opening a bank account or getting a retirement plan, etc.
In my country we have both the state and national ID. I guess very long ago you could use your state ID to register to stuff, but as they pushed for more standardization everything started to require your national ID instead, and your state ID card was more a proof that you are who you claim to be (like, you have to collect a parcel somewhere and show it belongs to you, or if you are stopped by the police you can show your state ID)... but usually people just use the driver's license because it has both ID numbers and your picture, so it's a valid document for everything.
Hmm... so what does it change? Before you could have health insurance without using your ID?
What's your threat model to need a quick online image caption to be opensource?
I think everyone would love some evidence here, but so far it was one journalist from one newspaper talking to one cop that said criminals are using GrapheneOS because it destroys evidence. Afaik Daniel didn't post any notification, inquiry or general communication he received from any government official or agency...
None of the content above has anything to do with France - but he did take the opportunity to claim two other projects based on France are persecuting him as well, so he kinda has a pattern. As I commented to some other user in the other post, it’s The Boy Who Cried Wolf problem - those two videos are full of documentation of his modus operandi.
So yeah, it seems like he accuses everyone of persecuting and harassing him, but in those videos there are several examples of what he considers persecuting and harassing. Both channels were highly supportive of the project and actively promoted it, but because they would also promote other projects and do benchmark tests, they were "spreading misinformation", "being biased", "campaigning against him" and so on. And in the second video he accused the guy of campaigning against him just for saying "This is informative, and unfortunate" about the first video lol. So him being a "victim" is just his lack of proper medication, because anyone who asked him about such attacks, if he had prints or so, was also accused of attacking him lol

Undoubtly GrapheneOS is the best project out there, so yeah, this is unfortunate.
The guy being paranoid asshole is passable, what I thought a really shit move is calling the community to create alt accs to harass people from other projects and saying he will ban anyone that complains. The Rossmann video is quite shocking, you see the dev's complete disassociation with reality... yeah the code is open, but how many people outside the project are really auditing it? Even people inside the project, are they auditing each others' work? If the guy doesn't get treatment, how long until he decides his own userbase is after him?
Brave ranks above Tor in tosdr.org LOL
