The exact same article that the GrapheneOS devs cited, I mentioned the other news coverage, but didn’t find it necessary to cite every article, since the point I’m making still stands.

The police’s job is to enforce the laws that be, and be bound by them. The legislature, in france’s case, the assemblée nationale and sénat, write the laws. As an example, french law enforcement can’t force signal to break their encryption, but the legislature could.

The point I’m making is that law enforcement trying to break into encrypted phones, and news orgs coverting that isn’t “the government targeting them”. There is a distinction between “the government” and law enforcement.

I mean yeah, but that’s an article from a private company that says that law enforcement is going to try to hack into criminal’s phones. Which, like, duh.

The person being interviewed explicitely says that since there are legitimate users of the service, they won’t take the same approach they did with services used only by criminals.

Avec ce nouvel outil, il existe pour une certaine partie des utilisateurs une réelle légitimité dans la volonté de protéger ses échanges. L’approche est donc différente. Mais ça ne nous empêchera pas de poursuivre les éditeurs, si des liens sont découverts avec une organisation criminelle et qu’ils ne coopèrent pas avec la justice.

they’re saying that if grapheneOS is found to be explicitely working with criminals they’ll take measures against the org, which is completely reasonable.

Law enforcement doesn’t make the law, they just enforce it. When you say “the government” you imply the legislature is part of what you’re talking about.

Yeah, but the they is law enforcement, not the government.

There’s quite a few like opterey, incogni or IDX. Not sure if they’re any good, but there’s tons of companies that do that, probably why mozilla shut theirs down

All the AI (except for one opt-in feature that lets you choose what service to use) is on-device, so although It’s not really necessary, you can’t really say it’s bad for privacy.

the average person deserves privacy too

I read tos’s, but it’s unreasonable to expect people to do so

that’s because the TOS is literally miles long

You pay for the account, not the adresses, you can have up to thirty adresses on a paid plan

still

and non-techbro youtubers, they tend to preface it with “I would never buy this bc meta”, but it is an impressive bit of kit

That’s a good way to do it, I’m all for digital ID if it’s implemented like that

You could say the same for games. Much of the professional work done is done on desktop.

Graphene literally ships with the play store and services. That’s worse

You can disable the feature that contacts google servers, but then you won’t get push notifications

Court finds I deceived people, I now have to pay 5¢

atleast where I live transit has all the metro and bus lines, and real-tike tracking of when the next bus/metro is, while osmand just has the metro and like 3 bus lines, so it’s kinda useless for transit.

Osmand ia great for biking though.

Alternative version of android that removes google stuff, basically.

fyi startpage and ecosia also use bing results, although ecosia is working on their own index.

It’s kind of dumb to remove any mentions of it, given it’s source available.

makes the game a fair bit harder though

does it support custom domains?

tldr: their encryption sucks apparently

frankly i don’t know enough about cryprography to be able to summatize it better.

it has https for me

EAC works fine on linux, it’s just fortnite that doesn’t work

it’s only meant to work on steam deck, if you have a computer similar to what the steam deck uses, i can also work there, but there are issues with that. Like hackintosh, basically.

There’s no reason to do that though, because you could just use something like bazzite.

The investigation did not spotlight the similarly-named Matrix open source communication protocol.

huh

Servo was a research project for mozilla, the cool stuff in it was shoved into firefox

Unless they’re prohibited from creating another web browser ever again (which would most likely be a bad idea), they can probably come up with a working browser in less than two years

the proposal included a 5 year ban on any browsering

While i do like how hypixel does it, hypixel has a LOT of cheaters, even in an environment significantly less conducive to them than stuff like valorant and apex.

Proton use is tracked as playing on linux

I do the same, its super sick, except that it still leaves an empty gray tab

Its tracked by what platform users play the most on, steam keeps track of hours played on each platform

He may be insufferable, but imo he does do good journalism

dont forget /e/os, its more integrated and ios-like, for people that like that kind of thing

My phone can do 90hz and i dont see much difference with 60

How does the bridge work? Do i have to have it open all the time?

ah alright, thank you
