   Within the realm of possibility? Let's be honest, if you are a top NSA executive and you couldn't find a way to get your hands on Cloudflare's private keys (bribing or threatening the right person), you are not getting your C

   My understanding (IANAL) is that the GPL restricts how you /redistribute modified versions/ of the software. So I'd argue that it passes all requirements. Can you copy and redistribute it without restriction? Sure. Can you mo

   Please provide a link to this post you found, so I can tell which one you think is a citation to a source. If you want some examples of recent posts that should have a source but don't, here they are: https://grapheneos.soci

   How far down do you have to scroll on https://grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS to find a citation to a source for one of their claims?

   One of the main criteria to differentiate "rants" from "correcting falsehoods" is proper citing of sources. In the case of Grapheneos, unfortunately I often see very few sources in what they post online. (But, if you ign

    As the OP discusses, the current state of the standard formally disallows it: the SI specifies that hertzes are only to be used for periodic phenomena, and becquerels only for radioactivity.

    I don't recommend tennis balls for a beginner: they bounce everywhere, and you'll spend most of your time chasing the balls rather than juggling. Cheap juggling balls are around 10$.

    Jolla had ties with Russian state companies, I wouldn't be surprised if they planted backdoors all over the place. And in any case if you use Jolla without the Android emulation layer (so Google again), the app ecosystem is as barren a

    This is still very mild opposition, the equivalent of a "strongly worded letter". What we should expect from a serious pope is excommunicating [1] those who start wars. [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Excom

    In principle, one could train the AI to insert ads in its answers. So no, if you only do inference locally with an open-weight model you are still not in control.

    Let me add that the typical GrapheneOS user will probably prefer to install the OS themselves rather than trust what comes preinstalled.

    If your goal is reducing the number of multiplications, I imagine it would make sense to factor that polynomial into degree-1 and degree-2 factors.
