    Many of these commentators aren’t grasping the advantages to developing mobile Linux as an independent operating system that can’t be controlled by any single company. They aren’t seeing the advantages that mobile Linux offers over AOSP, nor are they accounting for the difficulties of modifying AOSP to respect its users, compared to developing mobile Linux.

    Off the jump, not responding to the concerns of security implementations is a bit disingenuous and I stopped reading there. For Linux to seriously compete in the phone ecosystem, security needs to be there.

    We’re just now getting there on desktop with things like Wayland, Flatpak, and some distros having tbe ability to enable measured boot via TPM (usually its a process that requires a lot of research even when its supported.)

    Theres no doubt in my mind that Linux phones could be great, and a lot of the work done for desktop can be copied over to mobile. Until the day where Linux mobile security is at the very least good enough for the everyday person though (Proper sandboxing, permissions, encryption and verified boot) I dont see it being viable, as much as I would like it to be.











  • I feel like the internet is gas lighting me right now because I can’t find any evidence of it existing but ive seen that shit before. I’m going to blame Elon because I believe it originated on Twitter and after they started making people sign up to see posts getting info from that site is impossible.

    Basically the format is usually 1 fem character, and another character of any gender. The fem character would say “I don’t like guys”, meaning they were a lesbian. The other one would have a thought bubble that says something like “Fem is a misandrist?!”, and say to fem “Thats awesome”, leading the fem character to think “Other is an ally?!” and that was pretty much it.

    it was funnier to see in meme form but. i can not find it.
