I’m not sure the royals caused this. I guess the main issue is that some democracies become too entrenched, and groups of elites take over the role of nobility, term limits doesn’t help, since to be in a position to become someone, you have to join those that already rule. Capitalism also doesn’t help and even accelerates this process. Abolishing FPTP and instituting ranked choice would be the first step I think on improving democracies, by breaking up these elite groups.
Good to know that I am not the only one mistaking Cr1TiKaL aka MoistCr1TiKaL aka penguinz0 aka Charles Christopher White Jr. as Asmongold aka Zack Hoyt (the rightwing influencer).
Well, my old phone, with LineageOS. It is a OnePlus 8, but I probably wouldn’t recommended OnePlus phones generally, I was hopeing that it eventually get mainline treatment, like the 6T, but that hasn’t happen yet.
I rooted it for managing battery charge limits, among other stuff. Having a root shell in termux makes debugging or fixing app and other issues very easy.
Me? Who is talking about me?
Granted I used and I am still using a phone that is rooted next to my GOS phone. Rooting makes it easier to backup app data, cleanup the device, customize battery charge settings, patch apps, edit app memory, and, debloat, I guess, but I never have done that. I just wasn’t assuming that the person rooting their android did it just to debloat, they might have more/other use-cases. But it is their device, they should have the freedom to do with it, whatever they want in all cases. How much security and against which kind of attacks and which attacker one might want to defend more or less and to what cost of personal freedom is a personal question, that cannot (and should not) be answered by some outside entity for an individum, if breaches only affect them.
Was it IRobot where the intelligence decided that in order to keep every human save, they are all placed under house arrest? Security has its cost, that shouldn’t be ignored.
If someone wants root access, the reason doesn’t matter, it is their device, they should get it. Asking that is like asking why someone want to leave their house, and were they want to go before letting them or trying to convince them that they don’t actually need to leave because it isn’t save for them and that they should be happy with what they have.
Sure, I get that.
But there are also people that don’t use banking apps or pay via NFC, etc. They use their phone just to call and text people, browse the web and take pictures. I will not recommend buying a Pixel and putting GOS on it, if they don’t specifically ask for a high security device.
If they are in the market for a new phone, I will recommend phones that are maintained for a long time and have a good active open source AOSP port community around them. For example the Fairphone with /e/ or Lineage with MicroG. Somewhere where people aren’t funneled towards google services. Since privacy is a bigger issue for most people than security.
GOS by all its strenghts, is following the paths treat by Google and Apple on defining what a smartphone has to be and how its security model has to look like, where only the OS distributor has full privileges, and you are just allowed to use it.
If you have the same requirements for your system as the people who designed these phones assumes you have, then GOS is great for you.
But if you want to tinker and customize, like we can with Linux systems, then Android and especially locked down systems like GOS aren’t for you.
I am using GOS myself, because it is good, but I also have a separate device of tinkering.
The post was about someone losing root access via an auto-update which they disabled because it might remove their root access.
Your post was about GrapheneOS. If you rooted it, for whatever reason (maybe you need it to have privileged access to the apps on the hardware that you own), you will lose root access when you update it.
How does that not make sense?
I would rather think your post doesn’t make so much sense, because GOS doesn’t solve the root access issue when auto-updating, but it might honor the disablement of updates, I guess.
I am using GOS as well, but I wouldn’t suggest it to someone needing root access for whatever reason.
Good luck keeping root access with your GrapheneOS auto-update.
I think we also should require to set some energy limits to those tests. Before it was assumed that those tests are done by humans, that can do those tests after eating some crackers and a bit of water.
Now we are comparing that to massive data centers that need nuclear reactors to have enough power to work through these problems…
Das mit der AFD hat auch schon in UK geklappt beim Brexit. EU war an allem Schuld, gute Dinge war die eigene Regierung.
Diese Aufteilung der Welt in Gut und Böse ist ein wirksames Propagandamittel.
Ich vermute mal das hängt auch etwas mit dem Personenkult Putin zusammen, welcher ja unfehlbar ist. Wenn etwas im Land nicht gut läuft, rollen die Köpfe der Untergebenen, welche entweder Putin verraten, oder die göttlichen Worte missverstanden oder falsch ausgeführt haben.
That is what the author said they switch to, but TBH XMPP also has issues with MFA and messages frequently not being decrypted (using OMEMO) and ‘unencrypted metadata’.
I wouldn’t say that it works better than Matrix, it just has some different strengths and weaknesses.
Well… You can either handle the backups completely separate from snapper and those snapshots, or you just create a differential using only the just created snapshot afterwards.
I wouldn’t try to backup all snapshots everytime, since that is just needless duplication. Snapshots are more of a convenices it something is accidentally deleted or you want to revert without restoring from the backups.
I wouldn’t. They contain duplicated data… I would rather create differential backups on every snapper event and push those to a remote, for instance with Borg.
I don’t use upvotes to express my support, I upvote when a contribution was insightful, interesting or funny and downvote when I find the contribution off topic, not helpful or diverting/trollish.
If I personally find something uninteresting, I block. And report if something is against the communities the rules/TOS/law.
I don’t want my social media and to become echo chambers.
Honestly, I’d rather have them remove all timed quests. Those are the ones that suck the enjoyment out of my travel experiences.
I also don’t know what “Fallout 3 Remastered” entails, but if it means forward-porting the content to Starfield’s engine, that’d be pretty cool, though I do wonder how much effort will be required for mod-porting.
I think all their previous games will eventually get the Oblivion Remaster treatment. So a frankenstein’d UE5 renderer + gamebyro backend.
Funny, it turns out it is more brand damaging not to sell adult games, than to sell them…
