Without any direction, a goal is nothing but a fantasy. How do you think this goal is supposed to be accomplished?

And how will that help? The Cheeto is going to look outside his window and see people constantly protesting and then step down from office?

isn’t this just asking your age when the OS is installed? in that case can’t they just install any non-hacked distro and lie? there’s no verification, is there?

Pixel 10 isn’t made in China, and almost all apps work on Graphene just fine.

All my banking apps work fine on Graphene. AFAIK there is only a very, very short list of apps which don’t work on Graphene.

I think the bigger issue is that supporting more devices can add a ton of extra work to the dev team, which is small. That could sacrifice the integrity of the whole project.

Worst case scenario where Google makes it extremely difficult going forward, what is the hard part about just never rebasing onto future work from Google?

From what I’ve seen there hasn’t been significant core work on Android for a long time. It’s been mostly changing from rounded corners to square corners to rounded corners, or shoving AI into every nook and cranny.

I’d think a small dev team like Graphene could maintain their AOSP fork moving forward.

IDK, I’d think the best path forward would be to just fork Android and move on from there. That’s what Graphene OS already does. Just standardize on Graphene OS for everything and get them more devs / resources.

Why do banks need a hardware attestation, out of curiosity? I’d assume that banking apps are just clients so all that matters is if they have creds or not.

traction with Graphene

What kind of traction? Is it missing something? Or do you just mean more developers behind it?

I’m not even sure what incentive they would have. We already have a huge problem with citizens not voting because they think their vote won’t change anything. Is anyone going to think “I’m going to risk going to federal pound-me-in-the-ass prison for me to spend my free time filling out a ballot box which will have a 0.000001% chance of having any effect”?

Anyone who cares about freedom should install Graphene OS now.

Thunderbird is going hard on Rust all of a sudden. Recently they started using it in Thunderbird and now they’re starting a whole service in Stalwart (written in Rust).

Super awesome.

I thought you are going to mention that she’s receiving an enormous amount of money from the government, even though she’s Republican.

I can forgive someone for now knowing who specifically enacted some bill or something, but being simultaneously against supporting people with government handouts while relying on $400K from the government to survive? Wtf.

Maybe i should start saying I make $90 billion a year as a tax optimization

That’s been debunked - we get so few minerals from water for our diet that it’s almost nothing anyway. Almost everything is from solid foods or non-water liquids.

Curious if anyone can weigh in on this - is there much benefit to having fluorinated drinking water if you brush twice a day with fluorinated toothpaste and rinse with flourinated mouthwash?

I distill all my drinking water, but it’s to remove PFAS and all the other garbage we’ve polluted the earth with. Not because of flouride.

If I punch you in the face, say you’re a stupid bitch, then tell you I didn’t mean it, wouldn’t that be enough?

A Nazi salute is a Nazi salute. It isn’t something you can accidentally do.

I use Bitwarden for passwords and notes

Scientists should consult tech people about stuff like this just like we should consult scientists for science stuff. Unfortunately a lot of tech people also aren’t conscious of this stuff either.
