Imagine all the cosmic background radiation and starlight of 4 billion years, as measured in the outer universe, landing on Earth in a time-dilated period of only 7 days. Earth would be cooked. By my calculation, the surface of the Earth would get up to 1900 Kelvin.

You have no idea why they downvoted.

Most zionists are not settlers. To be clear, killing settlers can be justified as defensive, so nobody should be banned for a name like “Kill All Zionist Settlers”. But there are like 800k settlers, and hundreds of millions of zionists. You can’t ethically kill someone just for having an opinion, even a reprehensible opinion, if they don’t even act on it.

Who is “FHF”? If the reasons stated in the modlog are true, these seem justified.

I’ve had a consistent antizionist stance and never got banned from lemmy.world. You can’t advocate murdering zionists who aren’t actively involved in murder themselves.

Counterpoint: The Crosscode soundtrack.

Forest level: accordion, guitar, only a bit of flute, no violin.

Forest level 2: accordion, choir, and xylophone.

Forest level 3: steel drums, guitar, some other kind of guitar.

Ice level: flutes, bass guitar.

Ice dungeon: french horn, synthy violin.

Lava level: (none)

Desert level: Exactly what OP said.

Desert town: Totally different from what OP said.

Beach level: guitar, flute, piano, very little steel drums, no ukulele.

Vector sent me a letter offering a $15/hr job. When I got there it turned out to be $15 per sales pitch, with driving time, lead generation time, training, and everything else unpaid. There were many other signs it was a scam. When I came back for the second day of training, I presented my evidence, but I wasn’t able to convince anyone else to leave.

Flash had a ton of vulnerabilities. It felt like one zero-day RCE per year.

Flash never had a good FOSS implementation until years after Flash Player was discontinued.

I was very happy about the death of Flash Player, but neutral on the death of the Flash format.

Once

8 years ago, I sat with my then-girlfriend at her parents’ house thinking of things we wanted to watch. We thought of like 20 shows and films, and each one we looked up was not on her parents’ Netflix.

Netflix’s selection has only gotten worse since then.

Nothing anyone wants is on Netflix.

What safety net? When I visited Shenzhen for work, I saw factory workers in terrible living conditions, and almost no PPE in the factory. Workers were spaced about 3 feet apart on an assembly line, with one worker using compressed air to blow dust and molding flash off a product, wearing eye protection but not hearing protection, and the adjacent working having neither. Another worker flipped over LED shop light fixtures and turned them on. They had sunglasses to protect from the brightness, but the adjacent workers didn’t.

These products are made from Chinese blood. They are made at the expense of permanently damaging the workers’ bodies, and no government agency is protecting them.

Windows 98 had god usability. The buttons and controls all had borders, so you could know where they are. In Windows 11, everything is flat, nothing has a border, so you can never know where the interactive area is.

Promare is the most visually intense anime I’ve ever seen.

If you’re holding hands tight enough that you can feel it at all, you’re already exerting more than 2 milliNewtons of force.

As a STEM graduate, I would much rather hold hands with an econ graduate than a business graduate. Economists can do real good for the world, while MBAs seem to be mostly harmful.

Even if you can buy it, you can’t file a warranty return if you are outside Fairphone’s small support area.

Fairphone has guaranteed 0 years of support in my country.

Swapping out random parts of the OS will certainly lead to breakage and dependency hell in your package manager (unless you just replace files without using the package manager, which might make all of this even worse).

I’ve done it, and it works. I’ve built packages of libraries and binaries before, at higher version numbers than Debian had, and deployed them to multiple Debian sid systems. They worked. When Debian caught up, I seamlessly upgraded all 3 systems with no problems.

Even in the worst case scenario of dependency hell, you would be able to downgrade to the Debian supported version. But I never had to do anything like that.

I’m not going to respond to all the rest of your post, because I don’t think it will help with anything. It seems that we have very different ideas about device ownership.

They do provide instructions for compiling from source, they just don’t support you at all afterwards. If you compile GrapheneOS and put it on your phone, they say “you are not running GrapheneOS” at that point. Unlike Debian or Ubuntu, where every package can be replaced by a hand-compiled version, and it’s still Debian or Ubuntu.

need to charge it in a public space? You better hope no one had modified the charger with something like an RPI to silently exploit your phone

Any secure Android device should be starting each USB session in device mode, set to charge only. It is usually not possible to change this mode without unlocking the screen. I don’t know what this has to do with sandboxing or unlocked bootloaders.

Crossing a border into a country and they suspect you’re some sort of threat?

How does this attack work? Are you saying they’d replace the operating system by using the unlocked bootloader? There are plenty of ways to prevent this with full disk encryption. Of course you need to check for modifications when you get it back, but that’s true even if you have a locked bootloader, because of hardware modifications and leaked keys.

Not running software that updates the hardware’s proprietary software drivers? One text message and you’ve got a rootkit.

In any of the open source Android distros, like LineageOS or GrapheneOS, those updates come as part of the operating system. The updater is open source, and doesn’t care whether your bootloader is locked. I assume a Linux Mobile system would be closer to Debian’s Apt system, which is also an open source updater than can install proprietary drivers, and also doesn’t care if your bootloader is locked.

didn’t really need an “um ackshually” about people who don’t want a secure os

This is pointlessly condescending.

They literally have a whole instruction page for it on their official website: https://grapheneos.org/build

I’ve asked, and they don’t support you at all after you build it. You can’t get updates or packages from GrapheneOS. Compare to Debian, Ubuntu, RHEL, etc., where you can compile your own newer package, install it, even replace core operating system components, and then seamlessly upgrade to the OS vendor’s version when they catch up.

What they don’t support is making modifications to GrapheneOS, compiling it, and then still calling it GrapheneOS. It’s not. You changed it, so it’s something else. It’s your own fork of GrapheneOS, so you should name it accordingly.

Even if you don’t modify it, they tell you not to call it GrapheneOS, and don’t offer any way to install patches, besides building it again.

Uh that’s by design? Do you even understand the purpose of a secure element and trusted execution environment, and how they work?

Yes, I understand it. I’ve opposed TPM from the start, and this is just TPM for Android. I don’t want a device that keeps secrets from me. I do want comprehensive backups, including all cryptographic keys. I should be able to access the TEE from my authenticated PC over SSH.

I’m fully aware that Widevine won’t run on a device where the owner has control over the whole device.

The code is open source, you can freely modify the OS, compile it, sign it with your own keys…

I don’t have the resources to do this (PC nor effort). They recommend 100GB+ storage and 32GB RAM for building it, and you seemingly can’t do it incrementally, since you have to flash an entire operating system at a time. I want to modify one file, like the call recording xml file. (That file is from a previous operating system I had, but I can’t provide an example of niche cases like that for GrapheneOS, because I only ever used GrapheneOS for a few days, so I don’t know what kind of small modifications I would want to make.)
