[Nottingham] New mobile phone (Re: [Not Linux] Minor rant & picking a new provider)

[Neal Ponton]

Barry, 
Does it support fuse with encFS? Then you could point Dropbox to the encFS 
encrypted directory, so the only files Dropbox get to see on their servers 
are encrypted (including file names). You then carry on reading and writing 
to the decrypted counterpart to that directory and it's encrypted (and 
synced) on the fly automatically by encFS. 
This is an established technique on the Linux desktop in order to use a 
proprietary cloud backup service whilst maintaining a philosophy of freedom. 
Has Stallman ever encouraged the GNU community to develop a mobile OS? That 
would seem to be a logical next step. 
I hope to try out Ubuntu on my Nexus some time when I'm not so dependent on 
it.
