Explicate the inexorable, fucker.
I highly value privacy, but the gap between local LLMs vs top of the line cloud LLMs (e.g. Claude & DeepSeek) is still too great for me to switch completely to the former.
I’ll use PWAs to sandbox LLMs from everything else (and each other) and try to create semantic distance between the user and the queries.
How about that leaked Claude source code? Is there a reliably clean version of that available anywhere yet?
most
¿Is there data supporting this conclusion?

Btw: The Plexus app rates app functionality in both Degoogled (owner) and microG (sandboxed Google) profiles.
FYI tho: it DOESN’T report how FOSS or privacy respecting the apps are.
YSK: Plexus doesn’t rate itself. 😳
Since they’re law enforcement I interpreted the report as them preparing for the worst possible outcomes given upcoming tech, and then escalating in response to that.
Nice try officer.
We’re speaking English and the US is by far the largest demographic for English speakers on BlueSky. The UK is the second closest and represents 5-6x less people. I genuinely wish you luck with how you engage with people in the future.
At the limit though they’d have to pay every coder with an interest in that software’s development and enough time for a hobby. I guess they could target distribution like Codeberg but alternatives would eventually fill their place.
Like a locked bootloader and bloat.
Oh snap, I misread it as Motorola bought GrapheneOS! This is way better news than I realized! Thx for the clarification. 🫡
Edit: On reflection can FOSS even be bought since it doesn’t have an owner to pay? I’m caught up now.
A question isn’t an assumption. It’s possible to hold an idea in one’s head without immediately accepting or rejecting it. I also don’t see any problem with planning ahead. Why are you assuming I’m a dude?
Different tense. I wasn’t using it in the privacy hardened sense.
Just realized it refers to the same thing both ways. GrapheneOS is user-side hardened whereas iOS is producer-side hardened.
See: PinePhone (Ubuntu Touch, postmarketOS) for $149-199 via their intl site: pine64.org.
OR
SF’s Librem 5 (PureOS, plus Ubuntu Touch, postmarketOS) for ~$700 via puri.sm.
Both shippable to the US. They’re unpolished OSs and expect delays, but they do exist. The competition will only increase going forward.
I was wondering if they’d require that new REAL ID versus the older (and cheaper) State ID, but from what I can tell it’ll just involve a user-declared age to preserve privacy. At least initially.
What’s the likelihood that Motorola will eventually lock down GrapheneOS though? Imho it’d be a bad move if they did. The FOSS mobile OS community has matured to the point that we don’t need to rely on for-profit monoliths any more. Motorola would be smart to lead the way to where the mobile device economy will be.

Effective date known yet?
I’m always curious whether using privacy software somehow marks us as higher value targets such that what metadata we do end up leaking is given disproportionate focus for advertisers and whatnot. Joke’s on them: I’m using the foolproof technique of strategic poverty.
