Same here, no problems. You can run Google Play Services and Google apps sandboxed using the built-in GrapheneOS App Store. There's nothing like it.

As I see it, an aluminum slab MNT Reform Next[1] would be a better Thinkpad replacement than a Framework (from a build and reparability standpoint). [1] https://www.crowdsupply.com/mnt/mnt-reform-next

Not saying it isn't good, it is. I still use Silicon Macs at work. Just depends on your priorities and what you value I guess. I'm not on board with the iOSification of macOS either. IMO, it's has gotten progressively worse w

I ran a Hackintosh as my main machine for many years. I specced (using info found on tonymacx86[1]) and built it around 15 years ago to make it work well as a Hackintosh. And work well it did. Incredibly well actually. But now the doors are

The really cool thing about Waterfox is that REAL vim keyboard navigation via VimFX[1] has been supported. The integration is much deeper than what Vimium and the other WebExtensions allow. https://github.com/akhodakivskiy

It's clear that progress is incremental at this point. At the same time Anthropic and OpenAI are bleeding money. It's unclear to me how they'll shift to making money while providing almost no enhanced value.

That's what I do with my GrapheneOS phone sometimes. One day at work I connected a USB-C > keyboard/display/mouse adapter and realized it works terrifically well.
