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?

the software is open source. we can verify it doesn’t do anything bad. the server is what you cannot trust.

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 me 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.

I’ll check those out!

Akira Kurosawa’s lesser known works. He’s most famous for films like Seven Samurai or Yojimbo, but his other films like The Bad Sleep Well are super amazing too. It’s a film noir movie with a strong anti-corporation message I bet would resonate with a lot of people here.

What’s awesome about it?

demands

…why not arrest them? They’re doing illegal things. Why are we still asking them to do anything?

Am I missing something here?

I don’t do the accent with names. It reminds me of when people say croissant with a French accent or “Mehico” instead of Mexico - I get those are the pronunciations if you’re speaking French or Spanish, but IMO the rest of the sentence is English so just use the English accent / pronunciation.

The problem is that “master” means several things. There is Masters degree, master sword, master blacksmith, master copy, all of which have absolutely nothing to do with master / slave.

The Git “master” terminology came from “master copy”. There’s an email thread online where someone asked Linus Torvalds the origin and this is what he said.

The whole thing about it being about master / slave was some random uneducated person guessing, and they were wrong.

I agree that main is simpler and clearer, but it has nothing to do with racism.

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’d absolutely qualify it as non-secure in this context. Signal is E2E encrypted but there are no systems in place where it understands who’s added to a chat and validates access based on ACLs or anything. Authorization policies are critical in securing systems.

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.
