At the very least, you have adequately shown me that the developer is too unstable to be able to guarantee the OS remains secure. Next time I’ll use Calyx OS since they are pretty much the sane anyway.
I do want to point out that:
No, he hates them because he was mocked deservedly by Tor devs
Technically the email you linked showed that he hated TOR beforehand, then the devs (rightly) mocked his reasoning, we were both right.
[by your logic] He should make it maximum compliant with governments and spying agencies
Please do not twist my words, though I understand once you assume someone is a bad actor you (quite understandably) give up. My point is that software should not be configured to break the law by default. Why would a user want something that breaks the law when first installed, when most users want to follow the law? Ideally software like this should have separate “legally compliment” and “freedom” branches but I argue having the first one is better then the second one in most cases.
All that being said, enjoy your day
is part of the Linux kernel
Saddly no it’s not, its a component embedded by the compiler that can be separately installed to replace the programs default allocator implementation. Also I can’t find a fork of android I know of that supports it.
If I understand you correctly, graphene OS is bad because:
Arguably that’s a good thing as it at least makes people aware that other android forks exist, encouraging people to switch to one of the more private forks of android.
How does the developer having bad takes effect a piece of software? Firefox in mine and others experience, still works well on the device. Yes I am aware of his vanadium project, if he wants to waste time, power to him.
Why is that a bad thing, especially since it sounds like the alternative is breaking said laws? Yes there are often moral arguments against laws such as that, but the advantage of open source is that you can switch to something that gives you the freedom to break the law if you want.
The only thing you have shown me (which I already agreed with) is the lead developer (who is not the only one working on the project) is immature and paranoid, you have not showed why I should not use the software that he helped make, only that other forks support more hardware.
Thanks for being willing to discuss this stuff, I appreciate you are willing to take the time to write a detailed response.
So if I understand you correctly, Graphene OS does everything it says it does but overhypes its differences with other forks. That doesn’t sound like snakeoil, only effective marketing.
Why shouldn’t I use it over the other forks then, particularly because useful features like hardened_malloc are only avalible on Graphene despite being widely ported to linux distros?
They also do not shill for Big Tech or Google/Apple.
What’s the story behind this? I’m genuinely curious.
I will say I strongly dislike how the developer has handled criticism, but that seems to be more a failing of the dev then a problem with the OS.
Seems like it, I switched to my current instance explicitly to avoid dealing with this stuff
The fact that the company Valve went with KDE instead of GNOME for there popular linux device seems to indicate that it is at least stable. I could get some user testomonies on /c/Linux about KDE if you want?
Yep, since I mostly pirate obscure games I don’t need to worry about the VPN. Lutris works great for fitgirl-repacks

Writing in the 1990s and 2000s, author Albert Jack and Messianic Rabbi Richard Pustelniak, claim that the original meaning of the expression was that the ties between people who have made a blood covenant (or have shed blood together in battle) were stronger than ties formed by “the water of the womb”, thus “The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb”. Neither of the authors cite any sources to support their claim.
Nice, do you have a source for that so I can fix the wikipedia article? Either way it doesn’t particularly matter.
If you are understood buy you’re audience, you have spoken correctly. Correcting someone’s grammer is pointless
Me when I was trying to figure out what the outputs in the Javascripts RSA key generation crypto api curruspond to so I can link it to a rust api to prevent Man in the middle attacks occurring on https traffic with false certificates installed (I figured out eventually)
I was thinking about such a joke, the edit makes it much clearer
Yes, though when I use it to grow plants I can not provide any evidence that it is effective, so just like with my other claim you just have to take my word for it.
No, I believe we are just pieces of meat with enough nureons to be capable of abstract concepts. However currently the existence of a soil is unfalsifiable, so I wouldn’t be able to prove or disprove my clain.
Personally I’m doing well, I hope you are to for being concerned with others wellbeing. May you enjoy your holidays kind stranger.
Hense why its a good idea to enable auto renewal or set a reminder
12 dollars? Just buy a .site doman from namecheep for $2 instead. You are guarantied to afford 6 times the normal level of hopes and dreams that way (/s for the second half, but this is what I do for my site)
Sneakernet is getting worse and worse these days, I’m learning the ancient art of astroprojecting into random people’s rooms to consume media.
