You can run GrapheneOS on Pixel phones, and soon Motorola :-).

I understand the anti-Google feeling, but... AOSP is open source and written by Google. If you strictly don't want Google, you don't use Android. But IMO it's a shame because AOSP is actually good. You could argue that you do

Is the bootloader locked and signed with reasonable keys? If not, you lose the secure boot, which defeats the point of the Android security model. Do you get manufacturer updates? My experience with /e/OS was that the Stock Androi

Other projects (like LineageOS or /e/OS) have lower requirements. My experience is that it makes it very hard to know what kind of security you get. I have used /e/OS for a couple years before realising that it was signe

I like Android a lot better. And I really, really like the fact that Android is open source, so that 1) I can read the sources and 2) projects like GrapheneOS can do it right. Apple does not remotely allow that.

And I don't use GUIs, but it doesn't mean I have to be a jerk to people who are happy when their GUI gets better :-).

GrapheneOS is good.

What makes Valve great at the moment is that their business interest often aligns with ours (e.g. on the Linux support front). Which is great, don't get me wrong. But that's still beneficial for the company.

This is wrong. A "true democracy" is the system where you need to "sway" the most people on the catastrophic idea. The worst scenario is a totalitarian system where exactly one person can take the catastrophic decision

Thank you for that. It often feels like many people (including here on HN) don't understand what the EU is.

I think they meant more "every country can host it", as opposed to "every human hosts it at home".

I am genuinely confused. Isn't the point of public social media to be... public? Or do you use BlueSky to talk to your friends, instead of Signal?

Yes, and that's a problem. Doctors (or experts in general) hate it when people don't trust them, but the thing with experts is that people have to trust them. And in my life (and a few times just in the last few years), enough doc

This is an extremely naive view of politics in complex systems like the EU. We're not talking about the US of French president here. The people in the 27 EU countries elect their EU representatives, and nobody knows them. People usua

Isn't that how politics works? People keep pushing for what they want until they get it.
