  • I feel like a huge aspect that this article and the GrapheneOS developers are overlooking is DRM content.

    They’re focusing on user security for a user’s own data, but there’s a whole other side to it with companies wanting to protect their own data - think Netflix and the like who use the same systems to ensure that nobody’s been tampering with the device as a way of bypassing the copy protection of their media.

    Now I’m not saying I support DRM at all, I’m very firmly in the camp of being able to own the media you purchase without restriction, but my point is that it’s not as simple as Google being dismissive, lazy or ignorant but rather there’s a lot of commercial sensitivity at play and if Google fucks it up, they could potentially lose certification of the entire android ecosystem.





  • Because the time to learn a new operating system is more than I have to spare. I’m approaching middle aged, windows is familiar and I just want to kick back and enjoy my games.

    Linux hasn’t reached drop-in replacement on the desktop yet. The steam deck is fantastic and I have no problems running it stock, but desktop Linux? Nah. Why would I dual boot when I can stick to one OS that does what I want and need.

    (Side note: I run Linux on my server and am quite happy with it).


  • I don’t follow Tommy Robinson much for obvious reasons, but I have been watching various right wing telegram groups since they organised a protest riot near me.

    What’s weird (or at least unexpected to me) is they don’t seem to like him either, claiming he’s Jewish (which of course they have an issue with) and funded by Israel?

    It might well be that this is a particularly extreme right wing group, but I’m still very confused at this point.

    Either way, fuck the lot of them.
