Can’t ague with that. You’re not wrong. I just liked to express my joy and a shout out to that incredible dev team behind GrapheneOS. That does not mean other roms are shit. Its just every other rom I tried over the years stoppt working at some point or the project silently died.

GrapheneOS currently supports only Google Pixel devices because they are the only Android smartphones that meet all of its strict security requirements: an unlockable bootloader, proper verified boot implementation, state of the art security chip, and long-term, reliable security updates. Most other manufacturers either don’t provide these features or disable critical security functions when an alternative OS is installed.

But what I find particularly impressive is how efficiently the team operates: with likely fewer than 15 full-time developers, they consistently roll out updates within days, sometimes even ahead of Google’s official Android releases. I think the system is very balanced, a lot of the hardening stuff works in the background without really breaking anything. I had some troubles with very specific apps but most of the time it just works.

That said, their communication style and transparency can sometimes come across as aggressive or uncompromising. Pioneers in FOSS projects often prioritize progress and principle over diplomacy, and GrapheneOS is no exception.

I think that GrapheneOS is an amazing underappreciated project and deserves more attention.

good times

People dont care. They just read switzerland and are like: “a yeah, the evil country that got rich by hiding nazi gold” but in reallity they dont know shit. They don’t wanna know.

Old Man’s War - by John Scalzi.

It’s such a fun and good written sci-fi space story.

When caught in a Thunderstorm: Never lie flat on the ground. Crouch down in a ball-like position with your head tucked and hands over your ears so that you are down low with minimal contact with the ground. The discharge ends in the ground, and a person lying flat is at great risk of being caught in the discharge channel.

I mean besides Venus, Polaris is not even the brightest real star. (Its Sirius)

Hi Hank! :)

I like DST. Thats it. no study, I just like it.

Fascists being fascists, pictured as fascists. It isn’t a bad picture if it tells the story right. But I see your point. I’m just not sure if it’s right to give in and be nice just because the far right likes to control the narrative. We should call their bullshit for what it is.

Edit: Someone was a jerk about writing errors, so i tried to fix them. Thank you fellow human for calling me out. I am a better person now and the world got a little bit brighter.

oh wow… TIL

not directly related but on top of this, wasnt it the massive campaining and political pressure from us and eu that forced swiss banks to lift the swiss bank secrecy? maybe people start to understand this law exist(ed) for other reasons than tax evasion.

the confusion was planted by the trump administration. they just stated that spain agreed to support them, which is a straight lie. spain made it very clear that they will not support this illegal war and that the americans can fuck off.
