  • Exhibit n we’re giving out doctorate degrees like candy.

    A STEM PhD should be able to read and write at a high level and an PhD in English should have a modicum of knowledge of the world that surrounds us. This type of communication shenanigans only strengthens the current zeitgeist of anti-intellectualism IMHO.

    note: That is assuming this isn’t a satire account, which it very likely is, I refuse to believe this level of stupidity hasn’t been selected against.

    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.








  • Of all the greedy things sony has done, retreating from PC is not one of them. Seeing as Valve will likely blow anyone out of the water with the gabebox, I too would be shitting in my pants if I were sony. In fact, the steamdeck has likely cost sony millions in lost revenue given it’s a much more apetizing console than anything Microslop, Nintendo or Sony have to offer.

    What is absolutely fucking untenable is sony not mandating Bungie support for linux in D2, considering a native version already existed for stadia and enabling BE for proton is not rocket science. Bungie is riddled with incompetent Microslop leftovers even after passing through AB before reaching Sony’s hands. D2 is dying a slow painful death, and were Bungie to enable proton play, I’d eat my hat if the population on steam didn’t double overnight!
