  • Only consider CalyxOS and GrapheneOS. Ideologues will push you exclusively towards GrapheneOS but it’s not th be-all solution for all people that they think it is. My current and previous phone are GrapheneOS. It’s fine. It does what I want. I don’t find it amazing only because it’s a phone, not a new discovery. I use GrapheneOS with F-Droid with all anti-features disabled in F-Droid settings and I have all the apps I need.

    Lineage will likely wirk with random phones, that dosn’t mean it’s quality. I say, if a phone OS works on LG, Samaung, Nokia, and a Chinese company phone, I don’t trust the stability of the OS.

    I see the name e/OS around, I don’t hear it ever mentioned in public discussions, I think it’s for Fairphone or one of those gimmick name phones.

    I’ve never heard of DivestOS before you mentioning it.





  • Go through Brax’s videos and see if he ever shows how to do anything or if he nly talks about it but never gives instructions. There are random no name channels that show how to flash ROMs, what does Brax show?

    Look at his website, does that look like it was made by someone within th past 25 years?

    Apparently he has some kind of an APK file to install, how easy is it to find and what is the date of the last release?

    Does he always sell out of phones, or were they never available for public buyers? Where is his ordering page? Does the order page say sold out or is there no ordering website?

    My point being, add up all of the evidence and comapred it to random websites that list which used phones they sell, compare to the amount of random videos that walkthrough how to to flash a ROM, I say Brax starts to look like a con who doesn’t know tech, only parrots what he reads. Compare his website to free wsbsite builders, see which looks like more recent designs and web technologies.

    I do agree with your explanarion. Your initial responce came across as flippant as if there is only one approved opinion, and that is to hate Twitter, as opposed respecting people’s decision to only use Twitter.

    I see the hyocritical posts on the fediverse to hate on X/Twitter, but at the same time the fediverse is constantly begging to be accepted as relevant. Considering it’s only a small number of people that use Twitter on a weekly basis, Mastadon is completely meaningless and will forever be nothing, and nobody has ever heard of Lemmy, but Lemmy has already garaunteed itself to remain nonexistant to discussions on the stredt and in busineasaes.

    I do wonder if Mastodon is doomed to be forgotten, even if there are servers still running it, but it’s too early to say. But I will bet cash money that absolutely nothing from fediverse will ever have broad appeal and fediverse will permanently stay in a tiny nothing hole separate from society.






  • It would be good to sell the codebase for Chrome, if it actually happens.

    Here’s a thought expirement, what would be more devastating, selling Chrome and losing all of that tracking and ad revenue, or being to change to GPLv3 license and make chromium or Chrome libre/free software? I say GPLv3 because version 2 does allow linking to binary blobs, version 3 does not. I would predict that Chromium GPLv3 would instantly rule the entire internet and bethe de facto browser on any operating syatem.
