I do trust the Linux distro maintainers that they don't have nefarious purposes. But they can't and won't verify third party projects' code, nor the huge number of contributors that come and go on any of these projects,

I won't argue with you on the project-related part of it, you obviously know best there :) Thank you for all the work! But how would you "rate" for example desktop "GNU/Linux" with this in mind? Quite clearly p

You can run the proprietary Pixel camera software on GrapheneOS just fine (properly sandboxed).

They recommend you install google play services if you need it . Privacy is in no small part a user-decision - no matter how secure your device is if you just scroll Facebook all day.

What binary format?? Go read facebook's "source code", is that any more open than a random apk? If anything, apks decompile quite well.

They are the only Android phones that have the proper security primitives to build a secure OS on top.

by gf000 8mo ago
privacy != security. And sandboxed Google Play services serve both goals -- it runs the service as a regular android service, not an exceptional one that has a bunch of extra permissions. So you can allow/restrict it as you seem fit, w

> GrapheneOS claims to be a lot more secure That's not just a claim, this is an objective fact. GrapheneOS has a excellent track record when it comes to security, they have made several patches that got upstreamed to Android, etc.

Android is a Linux OS and is eons ahead anything that would sit on top of "GNU/Linux" userspace. Why start from scratch?

Well, Reddit surely didn't help the issue with how it was all handled.

I agree with you here, especially regarding the reductionist view point. My only gripe was that single sentence, and we might just mean something slightly different there. Also, I'm out of my depth here, but I believe these sort of iss

I was asking more in the abstract. Web UI frameworks usually sit on top of considerable abstraction (in the form of the DOM, eventing system, etc), so I'm not sure your reply exactly answers my question.

Is the Controller not in a coupled pair with a View? We could imagine an interface where it could be completely separate (e.g. a kiosk TUI where stuff like "press 'r' for X" is displayed), but in the vast majority of UIs

Then we surely don't need to add random additional elements to our Content, purely to properly layout the content right, which is the job of the View?

It has nothing to do with education, software development is not learnt in a centralized way so you could hardly claim anything based on that. Cascading simply fails to scale/work with web applications, especially when multiple people

Apologies for the snark, but are you also impressed by `git clone` downloading a repository that is openly available on the internet? It can even do that in a loss-less way, instead of burning a bunch of tokens to get a bad, barely working

Also, the very idea is flawed. These are open-source projects and the code is definitely part of the training data.

The text-only model with reasoning (both of opus 4.6, gpt 5.2) can be tricked with this question. Note: you might have to try it multiple times as they are not deterministic. But I managed to get a failing result right away on both. Also no

by gf000 8mo ago
It's just not deterministic, even if you were to re-run the exact same prompt. Let alone with the system generated context that involves all the "memories" of your previous discussions.

Not the parent poster, but I did get the wrong answer even with reasoning turned on.

Humans are not good drivers when it comes to long, monotonous rides (because we get tired) But (some) humans have the ability to handle difficult situations, and no autonomous system gets anywhere close to that. So this is more of a "r
