GrapheneOS accepts donations and, to my knowledge, they spend it in hiring full time engineers. They have replacement portions for Play Services already (attestation, an app store, and location), but it'd be interesting…
Some apps offer direct APK downloads from their websites. If Google Play Services is detected, they use it for push notifications. Otherwise, they fall back to an internal background connection. WhatsApp is an example.…
Could you share your case's details? It sounds like you wanted better L3/IPv6 support and figured out a clean way to achieve it.
It does mean on the property and including inside facilities. Maybe that's at the gym or by the pool, and maybe you're actually not comfortable becoming a swimsuit model.
* Given that for-profits can be given tax-breaks for (hopefully) good reasons [which are not altruistic]; * therefore non-profits can be given tax-breaks for (hopefully) good reasons [which are not altruistic]. A…
I think they don't mean propaganda, but "entertainment." OP is referring to Fox's legal defense here: https://www.npr.org/2020/09/29/917747123/you-literally-cant-... This legal defense effectively frames the show as…
1st, this is unlike CAR-T as there is no extraction, engineering on that extraction, and then reinjection. 2nd, the only injection is intravenous. It uses a kind of virus that has been specifically engineered to cross…
@strcat, you've mentioned GrapheneOS will have access to internal code to do hardening below the OS layer. Does this mean Motorola devices will offer stronger security than Pixels, where you're limited by what Google…
The dealbreaker was data usage for AI training, not UI: "We are going to use your email to train our LLMs. I'm not okay with that... my confidential commercial information is NOT okay to use to train your models [...]…
No, you probably haven't read the conversation piece. The post is ultimately about switching providers because Google's service crosses a line from (1) targeted advertising to (2) using personal and confidential…
The founder of GrapheneOS commented on this a few days ago here on HN, and basically said it doesn't impact GrapheneOS. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46550366
Aorus/Gigabyte is also making their monitors into smart TVs. The next size up is a Google TV. https://www.aorus.com/en-us/monitors/s55u
This law demands a surveillance architecture, not just porn regulation. Once the norm and mechanism to de-anonymize content use exists, it can be expanded to any content, including political dissent, and for both…
I am not challenging the safety release mechanism. The OP already demonstrated that. I am challenging the result of that release in your poorly framed experiment. You explicitly sought to test 'a different side of the…
Not to be that guy, but feed/enclosure are direct costs. Externalities are costs/benefits to someone uninvolved with the chicken/egg transaction (noise or free insect control affecting your neighbor are negative and…
The details are skimpy. In a CNN article we can see photos and mention that these were housed in apartment units and perhaps other rentals. https://www.cnn.com/2025/09/23/us/swatting-investigation-ser... EDIT: While the…
Reputation harm. An anonymous individual might also have multiple anonymous accounts, for example. Without that anonymity, other projects might ban their contributions, and users might not use their software.
I agree with your point about OP's statement regarding "where is not not needed Windows in any way, to the Remote Device Management baked into firmware as Apple does with its hardware" I also read that to mean that the…
Yeah, your point about implementation is correct -- much of the MDM functionality runs within macOS. But, eh, I still think it's fair to describe it as a feature of the firmware. The enrollment and prevention of removal…
If I understood it well enough, the intention was to formalize/standardize self-hosting such that it became easier (and with an emphasis on security). With that done well, perhaps the next step would have been…
Apple devices support MDM. When you purchase the device, the device's firmware is configured to check in with an account owner. The firmware has an integrity feature such that this configuration cannot be removed by a…
Furthermore, there's no public list of exactly which games were removed.
I think my argument was written in a way that could allow this misinterpretation, sorry. I wasn't claiming direct democracy makes people more informed, but I was saying it removes the additional corruption layer. Direct…
Representative systems vest political power into concentrated points of influence. The reps are often as uninformed as the citizens. The US just had some infamous legislation pass that representatives didn't even read,…
I believe spam detection in the Google Phone app does work on GrapheneOS. For spam, install their sandboxed Google Play, and then install Google's Phone and Speech Recognition & Synthesis apps. For SMS/MMS/RCS spam,…
