  • Wikipedia lists this as the original:

    When the Nazis came for the communists, I kept quiet; I wasn’t a communist.

    When they came for the trade unionists, I kept quiet; I wasn’t a trade unionist.

    When they locked up the Social Democrats, I kept quiet; I wasn’t a social democrat.

    When they locked up the Jews, I kept quiet; I wasn’t a Jew.

    When they came for me, there was no one left to protest.

    Original German

    Als die Nazis die Kommunisten holten, habe ich geschwiegen; ich war ja kein Kommunist.

    Als sie die Gewerkschafter holten, habe ich geschwiegen; ich war ja kein Gewerkschafter.

    Als sie die Sozialdemokraten einsperrten, habe ich geschwiegen; ich war ja kein Sozialdemokrat.

    Als sie die Juden einsperrten, habe ich geschwiegen; ich war ja kein Jude.

    Als sie mich holten, gab es keinen mehr, der protestieren konnte.





  • I just read this on chapo.chat, what a rollercoaster ride! You can read the admin update here, it looks like they will keep their domain since the auction was cancelled🤞

    Admin response

    you do not need to do anything

    i am so sorry for the confusion, honestly the whole situation is confusing.

    Years ago when we changed to hexbear.net an admin bought the domain name from a domain registrar.

    That admin had things come up and wasn’t able to be as active or available.

    A small issue with paying for the domain name for the year 2025 happened and the payment was 1 day late.

    The domain registrar (digital landlord) took the payment and also put the domain “hexbear.net” up for auction pointing to policy that says if you are late on payment they can auction your domain name.

    The admin who owns the domain escalated the issue to the top level up support for the domain registrar. During that time we tried a technical route for moving the domain name to a new registrar, which we did not expect to work. The technical route had a 5 day delay on finding out if it worked or not, during that time is when we set up the vote for what name the community would want in the event we lost hexbear.net

    At this moment we still do not know if we have it or not so we are continuing with moving towards hexbear.chat but think that we might have mitigated the worst case scenario with a malicious person getting the hexbear.net domain through the aforementioned technical route.

    We are currently working on an updated post to give all the info we have at this time.

    j_s bidder mystery possibly solved

    Glad it’s resolved: If anyone is curious on the behind-the-scenes the j_s bidder was planning to return the domain but maybe not in the best way. They found a bug in Sav’s site that allowed them to bid without authorizations being placed, and on another account they managed to “win an auction” for low dollar value domain AND transferred it out somehow. Maybe they noticed, might be why their auction interface was in maintenance mode immediately as this was going on (archive from 19 Feb 2025 10:26:35 UTC https://archive.is/qsVg6 ).








  • Yep, google will be able to read your notifications. Which is why I only let things I don’t care about google seeing use the sandboxed google play. Things like games, etc. I use Proton but no notifications for email (and yes I know about the CEO and Trump). That’s more invasive so I just manually check my Proton inbox. You get used to workarounds. I also use a bogus gmail account not tied to me, fake name, dob, phone number, etc. I used juicySMS for it.


  • Things don’t crash on me. But bank apps may not work, they usually use play protect and apps with that may not work. Also you will not have root access, it has to do with security but certain apps like titanium backup need root to work. I’ve heard seed vault (built-in backup) isn’t that great but I haven’t used it. I like GrapheneOS, the only annoying thing for me is the lack of notifications for certain apps. That’s pretty much how it goes when you don’t use google on your phone. My workaround is using a separate work profile that has sandboxed google play for apps that I need notifications for.
