“the GrapheneOS developers do not wish to use reddit as a platform to discuss their products”
No one is making them. But they can’t prohibit others from doing so. Also the mods don’t give a fuck. What an idiotic excuse.

Futureless or featureless?
I am not upset in the slightest. Maybe I should have made that clear. By all means voice away! It’s just like I said, Windows benefits heavily from us learning its quirks when we had the time and patience to do so, and with much lower standards than today. The comparison doesn’t seem all that helpful as a result.
Mounting a network share is beyond the usage scope of the DAU you describe. They need a functional default desktop environment, working standard drivers for their standard hardware, and a browser. That’s pretty much it.
And let’s not pretend there’s anything intuitive about Windows distinguishing between accessing a network share, and mounting it as a virtual drive. This is just the staying power of “whatever I’m used to from an age when I had the curiosity and patience to figure stuff out”.
I did. It told me I needed to uninstall them. 🤐
I think you misread my comment. I didn’t call you a fascist, I simply called out two points where your comparison falls flat.
Thanks for the writeup. It helps to know where to look to make an informed decision, when I finally have the time to sit down and de-google.
Yeah I never doubted you’d have a reason to dismiss being called out like that. Getting your feelings hurt invalidates everything else. I feel like I’m talking to myself from 10 years ago.
You don’t have to take it from me. If you’re a student of history, maybe start with Umberto Eco. He knew a thing or two about fascism, I’ve heard.
The biggest mistake we can make is to assume it can’t happen again.
So yes they’re fascist, but the progressives complained too much about racism, and therefore it’s fine to support the fascists?
Mate. IDK what to tell you but your political ideology is privileged garbage. You’re more scared of being called racist than of fascism. The kind of “yes ethnic cleansing but please no mean language” attitude. Please get a political education and your priorities straight.
Escape from Tuta for what reason if you’re willing to share? I see it recommended a lot.
He directly profits from Proton subscriptions. As does the rest of the leadership which seem to back him on this.
A comparison of singing the praises for a modern proto-fascist movement with “secretly loving Windows” is… certainly something.
Mate they’re mainstreaming fascist rhetoric. Over 60% of Republicans now believe in the Great Replacement theory aka White Genocide, which used to be a fringe conspiracy theory just a decade ago.
I encourage you to not get hung up on symbolism and instead look to ideology and rhetoric.
The flaw was to assume there’s a connection between what Republicans say and what they do.
In what way?
Asolute security doesn’t exist, it’s always a trade-off with cost, time investment, and convenience.
This is in reference to Trump, yes, not Andy Yen?
Yeah fair. I expected we’d talk about how Linux could displace Windows on Desktop, to which SteamOS and Proton running on an x86 laptop chip is a lot more relevant than an Android phone.
When I tried Arch in '23, it worked well. Then I got busy and lazy and didn’t use it for 2-3 months. When I came back and did yay -sYu as I had learned, dozens of KDE and core packages were throwing errors and wouldn’t update. Unfortunate.
When I met a close friend’s husband at an event, somehow PCs and Linux came up. He asked if I’m a Linux user (which I like to think you can’t immediately tell); I assume he wanted to build some nerd cred. I said “yeah, I technically have Linux with me right now”. He asked what I meant, so I pulled out the Steam Deck. He was unfamiliar, so I briefly explained.
When he heard it’s (obviously) a commercial product, he actually pretended to faint. And then kept acting as if I had personally insulted him, not in a joking way.
It was a strange experience. Not even in hackerspaces I’d ever had a conversation like that. So these people are rare but they do exist.
That’s either phrased poorly, or a frankly insane take on gender.
