Why dont you direct your comments to the groups actually bashing other android projects? They keep initiating these attacks and GOS is retaliating defensively. Not the other way around.

                            You havent read GrapheneOS bashing anyone. Its far easier to make an incorrect claim with the intent to harm than it is to refute it with evidence. Refuting with accurate info inherently needs more words. You have not seen any bashing from GOS, you made that up.

                            They are victims. Victims of actual crimes and abuse. Many android OSs are massive steps backward and end up hurting the ecosystem. Users are allowed to pick what they want and GrapheneOS never once said they couldnt, but that does not mean users should make uneducated decisions due to scammers taking advantage of them. You are pushing for scams and ignorance.

                                    You say that like GOS forces you to degoogle completely, they dont. GOS has a wider range of using google than other OSs do.

                                    GOS never said you werent allowed to mke choices, you completely missed the point. GOS is saying they are being attacked and harmed by other projects.

                                    "Stop criticising other ones", are you serious? Is that really something you thought and then put into text form? First of all, no one is above criticism. That is a disgusting thing to say. Second, GOS is pointing out actual crimes. This isnt criticism, its defense. You are telling a victim to disregard abuse. I cannot fathom how you read all of this and decided GOS was the problem. You seriously need to rethink your choices.

                                                GOS has long-form posts on Twitter. Mastodon should make an easy way to increase the limit.

                                                A lot of projects do, unprovoked, make attacks at GOS. Its not drama or beef, its malice. This is what causes GOS to defend themselves. Its very unfortunate GOS is subjected to this abuse and it should stop.

                                                  Mastodon is a microblogging platform so it somewhat makes sense for it to enforce a character limit. That being said, I agree that 500 characters is not a lot, especially for what GOS does.

                                                  Well, there are Mastodon forks, like glitch-soc or hometown, which do indeed have a modifiable character limit. And it seems that migrating to one isn't too difficult.
                                                  So there's a solution. Either GOS is unaware of it, or they chose not to go this route.

                                                        The issue is that puts the corrections and refutations in a place people are explicitly being conditioned to avoid with the misinformation. A mix of both a post on the GOS discussion forum and refutations on Mastodon seem to work the best. But writing up a huge response on the forum takes a lot of time, and many replies have to be context specific.

                                                            Lying is so much easier than telling the truth. Its also easier to trick someone than to convince them they have been tricked. Large posts are needed because much of what GrapheneOS does is very technical and/or very involved, on the tech side, or an issue needing a ton of context and evidence on the community/social side. There isnt much of a choice other than huge post.

                                                              Perhaps a FAQ site/thread on the forum could go a long way in making it easier to grasp the situation? Instead of writing 10 posts in response, you write one and attach a link to the site/forum.
                                                              That way, people could stay informed, and actually useful information would not be lost in the shit storm.

Of course GOS would rather none of this happen at all but they are given very little choice in the matter.

                                                                          You could extend this to allow posting on other servers etc. But, in other words, let more people use the static site generator they already have

                                                                                                                                                                                                          Also, e.g. booklore is very much NOT a "no AI" alternative to calibre.

If I were a software I should be on the list too.

                                                                                                                                                                                                            But in all sincerity, I agree. I will not stop using Neovim, Just, or Linux or BSD unless they become severely enshittified or sloppified.

The list can always be refined to be more accurate, of course.

                                                                                                                                                                                                            I wonder if at some point it will eventually include every single goddamn software project that is still maintained.

“Speaking as the Krita maintainer, I don’t want us to accept any LLM-generated code into Krita.

Some may say, as long as the contributor understands the code it’s fine, but that’s a fallacy.

No programmer really fully understands the code they are working with (otherwise bugzilla would be empty); but with LLM-generated code they haven’t even put any thought into it. That code will be unmaintainable.

And that’s even completely apart from the fact that using LLM’s to generate code lowers your cognitive capacity, burns up the planet, destroys water sources all over the world and takes away from people what fits them best: being creative together with other humans.

The right thing to do could be to, after you’ve experimented in this environmentally-disastrous way, to describe the feature you reached and wanted and make a wish item in bugzilla, or discuss it here, and then let people who can code implement it in a responsible way.”

Volla, Murena and iodé made a centralized system on top of the Android hardware attestation API to permit their own products while forbidding others. They're not enabling anything which wasn't already possible and are fully dependent on standard Android hardware attestation. Unified Attestation is anti-competitive and it clearly isn't legal.

The whole point of Unified Attestation is that it's a centralized system on top of Android hardware attestation putting these companies in control of which devices and operating systems are allowed. Companies making the products being certified should not be the ones deciding what's allowed. It's clearly not legal for them to be forbidding alternatives.

They're going to be permitting their own products without reasonable security standards while locking out anything not participating in it. That's an anti-competitive cartel and not legal. We're not only going to heavily advocate against it but will file a lawsuit against Volla and the other companies involved as soon as there are apps using it while not permitting GrapheneOS.

Volla, Murena and iodé made a centralized system on top of the Android hardware attestation API to permit their own products while forbidding others. They're not enabling anything which wasn't already possible and are fully dependent on standard Android hardware attestation. Unified Attestation is anti-competitive and it clearly isn't legal.

Volla, Murena and iodé made a centralized system on top of the Android hardware attestation API to permit their own products while forbidding others. They're not enabling anything which wasn't already possible and are fully dependent on standard Android hardware attestation. Unified Attestation is anti-competitive and it clearly isn't legal.

Volla, Murena and iodé made a centralized system on top of the Android hardware attestation API to permit their own products while forbidding others. They're not enabling anything which wasn't already possible and are fully dependent on standard Android hardware attestation. Unified Attestation is anti-competitive and it clearly isn't legal.
