  • OK, thanks.

    Not really that helpful, it’s just more he said/she said.

    Grapheneos is a pretty poor choice of example, it has its own issues, they have conflicts with many others (see France pullout), they have openly fought with Murena, e/os, fairphone, among others. Plus, grapheneos likes to throw shade on “less permissive licenses”, which is really weird, considering they use an MIT license, whose loose terms is abused by many not-so-great companies.

    The lead of grapheneos is just as controversial as futo, gets into public spats with others, generally difficult to work with, etc.

    I say this using GrapheneOS myself.

    I’m not a fan of the Curtis Yarvin association, though.

    The people running these companies aren’t perfect. Sometimes they aren’t ideal, either. But I’d rather use Immich than Google photos and heliboard than Swiftkey.





  • I lol’d because growing up in cold climate. You had to put a block heater to keep your engines warm enough to start.

    I’m from Winnipeg, I know.

    None of this shit is different in any meaningful way.

    It is functionally very different. We heat our blocks, but rare is the person with a battery blanket.

    Teslas need warming and cooling for their batteries, and even at that, they lose huge range in super cold winters. But that isn’t the real problem, which is that recharge cycles are fewer and fewer every time you charge a cold li-ion.







  • Fair enough. I guess I didn’t distill my comment before writing it down.

    The problem I see with op’s “Linux isn’t secure” comment (without getting all territorial about it) is that the solution touted by Qubes is already a solution in wide use in several Linux distros, meaning the compartmentalization of apps in constrained environments is already a mechanic used in flatpack, snap, even docker.

    The fact that Qubes is a secure approach should be the focus, not the “our potassium is superior to all other countries” vibe from this post.
