Android is smarter than setuid + system partitions aren't writable.

Sadly forget about it - GrapheneOS will only work on Motorola __flagship__ devices, and most of their budget phones are not even made by Motorola, but rather by the odm such as Tinno, where it's not even possible to unlock the bootload

> losing access to normal android devices would be a big blow to the momentum of the F-Droid community. For me it seems the opposite - if these "normal" (GMS spyware) Android devices lose the access to F-Droid and it will only

Yes, but not because of those changes in the GMS stock OS, but because the ability to unlock the bootloader (and install the OS you can actually control) is being increasingly limited. Stock GMS Android was never yours, you only had access

What a farce, these questions are not even public and most likely will never be. You can't even participate if you're not "trusted" I guess. So this is just a PR post, not that I even think the "biosafety" make

Apple will listen only when executives are physically put in jail.. Europe can't do this, and I don't see this happening in the US soon either.

This is not just an isolated incident, it's the whole trend of limiting capabilities in the name of security and that's what I was referring to. However in this particular case, even the security argument doesn't hold, either

Oh, I've finally found one of those enshittifiers of the internet, hi there, it's the first time I can ask some questions directly.. So: - are you certain this "revenue" doesn't come from ads promoting scams? or you

And since Opus 4.7 has degraded cybersecurity skills, using it might result in writing actually less safe code, since practically, in order to write secure code you need to understand cybersecurity. Outstanding move.

It appears we're learning the hard way that we can't rely on capabilities of models that aren't open weights. These can be taken from us at any time, so expect it to get much worse..

For-profit companies using open-source software should bear that cost - that's my position. I believe than N companies using an open source project and contributing back would make this burden smaller than one company using the same cl

This has to be the most bullshit reason I've seen.. if AI can be pointed and find vulnerabilities then do it yourself before publishing the code.

You can't install the LineageOS phone app (with more modern looks) on GrapheneOS, because: - the package name is already taken and to replace app with the same name the package needs to be signed with the same key which you don't

by zb3 6mo ago
Android was never open. Its security model / the permission system is anticompetitive and the user is a third class citizen. Google can do everything as they control the system - this gives full innovation capabilities. Then there are

If you wait 18 years before being able to install apps outside Google Play you get a nice bonus of automatically becoming age verified in a private manner. So don't complain, it's for your own good.
