Did you end up setting up encrypted email? I briefly looked into that but was talked out of it for various reasons (other email providers not trusting yours, security, uptime, etc.)

I do have Proton, but I’m heavily considering other options.

I’d rather they just say they cancelled it if they did. Aside from their sporadic focus, the lack of transparency in their progress is killing me here.

feels like an Object of Power from Control or something lol sounds scary

Proton is company-personified of the engineer who loves working on new features, but hates fixing bugs. That’s how you get insane tech debt and unhappy customers.

WTF is proton doing? There’s still open issues with their basic products?

haha look, I love reading and writing (and wished the whole world did, too), but either way if you need to deliver a message to as many people as possible, then you need to meet them where they’re at. In the case of advocacy work, it’s irresponsible to try to do everything on your own terms without considering your audience’s needs and preferences.

As for why people prefer videos and audio? Some guesses: its less effort, people have been conditioned through tiktok / short form content to keep consuming from the content machine, the growth of the attention economy, etc. Honestly I feel more pity than I do contempt.

I run a blog (not linking it here on this account), and I experienced the exact same thing as you.

People generally prefer audio-visual content more than reading. Why else would audiobooks take off as well as they did?

Is futurism usually this trash?

I am confusion. (What do you mean?)

From a Eurogamer supporter in the comments: “This is a crap job ad - but how does anyone know for sure that the image is AI?”

Lol. Lmao, even.

Building a linux phone: do you mean from scratch, or just installing one of the Linux phone OS’s that already exist?

I’ve been following Ubuntu Touch for several years now and, while they have made a lot of progress, its main hurdles have the same thing in common: mobile hardware is incredibly locked down. For example, Ubuntu Touch uses proprietary Android drivers for many low level functions. Even then, there’s some features that aren’t stable across all devices, like VOLTE.

It sucks, I really want to use Ubuntu Touch (or any of the Linux alternatives) but I can’t make phone calls or text in the US without VOLTE support. There are a few phones that support VOLTE, but the feature is either in beta, the phone is expensive, or the phone is not sold in the US.

Anyways bringing that back to Graphene: In my case, I’m using this as a stopgap until Linux phones take off (assuming they ever do). For now I guess the best thing is to just be skeptic, keep things minimal, and bloat-free.

Ok. Which ones, and why?

Edit: I can see the 5 and 7 year support, but what about the rest of the list?

Human trash

😏

There are many technical reasons why: https://grapheneos.org/faq#future-devices

Every Android phone (besides Pixel) fails to meet the high technical requirements of the project.

Sadly true in any situation that requires talking to anyone else.

It’s Portal 2… the Valve classic is Portal 2

This cleared my stuffy nose, thank you.
