To be fair i’ve not tried fucking up with this too much

We could tell.

Sorry, but what you are dismissing as “They only… You still… You lose…” is very ignorant.

What the GrapheneOS team has achieved is technically impressive, sandboxing Google Play is something no other project has done yet, and now with Private Spaces you can essentially split your profile in two and decide which apps you want Google Play to run through, and which you don’t.

I put all the privacy intrusive apps in the private Space and installed Google services there, and I only open that space about once a week to keep in touch with some friends. The rest of the week I’m enjoying a fully degoogled phone using only FOSS apps and a bank that doesn’t require Google services to be installed.

The team deserves all the praise they get for building the most secure (and ironically, private) OS in the market right now, even with Google being so antagonistic to them. The phone is fully functional and we’re definitely not living 10 years in the past.

You should give it a proper try and form a facts-based opinion, or stop talking about it altogether.

What a clickbaity shitpost.

I think it’s safe to assume the author has had a full career at Reddit before becoming a profesional at ZDNet.

Did you watch the video?

Does this even bear a response?

A “new world order” AKA investors doing what investors have always done in times of uncertainty.

Is there no end to garbage journalism? This is coming from morningstar, too. Yikes.

It’s just their devices just aren’t up to standards. Of all, only Pixel phones have the security features GrapheneOS is looking for. If that isn’t indicative of the garbage that OEMs are putting out there, I don’t know what is.

I feel like we’re living in a [Billy Joel - We Didn’t Start the Fire]

I don’t understand why you’d say this. The US 100% did start all these fires. Not only did they start them, they keep adding wood to the fire. It’s so blatant even a blind person could see.

Billy Joel has great song and I appreciate him as an artist, but I’ll he damned if he isn’t an imperialist justifier.

When proselytizing, go where the sinners are. I don’t understand why that’s controversial.

Talking about boycotting the US on Lemmy is mostly just preaching to the choir: We’re already all anti-US, long socks-wearing pirate furries playing on our Linux Thinkpads.

Same thing on Google results. I don’t use Google but I use what are basically frontends for Google and all it feeds you with every search is AI-generated slop.

Every Google search must be precedented by writing “Reddit”, now.

AI. BOTS. MILLENIAL INFANTILE DESIGN. CORPORATE SPEAK.

Gee, I wonder why people aren’t tripping over themselves to join this.

Instead, crony capitalism, abuse of power, or something else is more appropriate

So, standard capitalism stuff?

What community? Getting whipped along with your work colleagues? I swear these studies are totally sponsored by some business interests.

Digimon World 4.

Granted, I was a child when I played it, but it was fun.

Years later I found a few YouTubers shitting on it due to bugs, recycled assets, lack of digivolutions, shitty camera angles, spammy gameplay, etc etc.

I agree with all of these criticisms and in hindsight yea that game was really lazy. However, I still had a good time.

That’s the AI code at work there.

Mac is actually nice to use though… My wife has one and it was my first exposure to them.

As a lifelong Windows user, I recall vividly asking myself “why am I not being abused by random pop ups and an overly complicated process to achieve basic things right now?” over and over while working on her machine.

Plus their graphical interface is a pleasure to work with once you get past some of its quirks. If I wasn’t already happily on Linux I would definitely move to Mac.
