That article is FUD to help graphene make bank with Motorola. Unless you’re trafficking drugs or are a pdf-file /e/OS should be safe and private enough without compromising usability for most people.

I’m still excited, ARM is still a gen ahead of x86 in power constrained situations, for energy efficiency, where peak compute is not a requirement. That illusion fades away fast though, when one multitasks or needs a non hardware accelerated pipeline. For single purpose devices like game consoles, that advantage in power consumption looks mighty sweet. Let’s see what AMD conjures up for the next gen PS6 or as a response to Lunar lake. The mobile ecosystem, especially Apple, have a vertical integration that makes HW development more agile as they are not saddled by decades of legacy support and tech debt.

This comment is absolutely true, Samsung made almost as much profit as NVIDIA last year, boosted by memory sales. Their margins also skyrocketed. Everyone knows what that means.

ARM cpus are great for battery life and aren’t saddled with decades of legacy support, what they are not is a physics bending device. It’s not a geekbench benchmark that is going to change the reality of physics. Now, if one’s use of a computing device is circumscribed to opening web pages, then the iPhone is the device for you. Also, don’t forget to breathe in and breathe out.

Point 1: Your grandpa did not make 150k back then, adjusted for inflation or ppp adjusted inflation.

Point 2: 150k is a completely ridiculous amount, but for 2 people it represents 1/3 of the total pledge asked

This is batshit insane. Tell them to move to Poland or Portugal where you can live comfortably with 1/10th of that money.

i. e.

Deal with Motorola to make bank before “they” get to him.

Desperate attempts at portraying himself as victim of persecution.

FUD on other AOSP projects.

You realise that Motorola Solutions (that make stuff for law enforcement agencies) and Motorola Mobility (that make phones) are two completely seperate companies?

I didn’t. Good catch. The original point stands though, given Lenovo’s history, business practices and their collaboration with LEA, it’s just the holding company that changes.

For context, for those in the anglosphere, Graphene OS had some troubles in France because the government portrayed the users of the OS as majority criminals, like narcos and including pedos. They left the French market.

Occam’s razor would lead one to believe Gael is not talking to users but to shareholders and the government, where he mentions pedos, which is the soup du jour to go after privacy.

Now, why is this being spread by GOS without context? Easy, they just entered a deal with Motorola, and creating an environment where people hate the competition is a very profitable endeavour for GOS. Finally, Mikay should get help, he’s impossibly technically endowed but also facing some demons that push GOS into unsavoury practices.

Finally, Motorola produces a panoply of devices for LEA, if you think a for profit company will not leverage their deal with GOS to sell a bypass device to law enforcement agencies and have the monopoly on that market you are out of your goddamn mind. The truth is /e/ doesn’t purport to sell a private OS, they sell an OS with less tracking. Graphene advertises a fully “private” OS but then enters a deal with one of biggest cop suppliers in the world and not a word on how that compromises their promise of security for users.

There’s only one way to be really safe, a 0 trust model where you don’t use your phone as a reliable communicator.

feelsbadman. You need more RAM!

*distinguishing brown people from white people before bombing.

• Note: bombing schoolgirls is OK if they are brown

🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

Can’t have competition if you buy resources from under them with made up money from NVIDIA and Microsoft. I hope Iran trully developed hypersonic nuclear weapons.

And that’s a pretty low bar…

Shoukd I start selling tulip seeds?

If one scrolls down, the data becomes quite damning to AI for anyone with half a brain. How can a pro AI enterprise be so clueless (and fudge percentages so obviously)

Eat the rich!

I know, that’s why I said bleeding edge nodes.

We had global foundries, among a myriad of other fabs. We have unions and labour laws, that’s bad for margins and CEO pay, we lost bleeding edge nodes due to corporate greed and US intervention.

Imma need a citation on that one.
