Also these newfangled seatbelts, they always ruffle my tie

Nice, that bugged me for a while now

How recent was that? Would love to be able to do that with my Xbox controllers

You think the pedoAI wanted to remove the competition?

Mini PC with KDE Big Screen? Just got a massive update and can even handle HDMI CEC, so You can use your TV remote with it

Management wanting to track your activity, Microsoft wanting your data,…

I recommend the novel Qualityland. Its about a guy who received an item AI ordered for them which they did not want, breaking the system in the process.

Time to ditch chromium then, right? right?

Thats true, but the base is still ubuntu

12 years since the last one?! That can’t be right,…

Anyway, I’m super stoked for this. The first one was amazing and I hope this one will be even better

I mean, canonical is British. Even if that not currently within the EU, that’s still somewhat European.

But yeah, Ubuntu Phone would be a great base. Have the EU pump a few millions into it and regulate that OEMs have to support free OSs and we’re off to the races

Of course they do, especially compared to stock android. I would run it if they supported my phone.

I am not saying Graphen is bad or anything like that. Its just build on a shaky foundation. But if you have a phone that supports it, it’s a great alternative to stock

but I don’t actually know.

You keep saying this and then repeat the same argument.

GraphenOS is entirely reliant on the devs at Google, because they update the device tree, drivers and patch security issues. If Google stopped doing that tomorrow, Graphen is fucked. They would be stuck on whatever driver they had last with all the issues that one brings.

The “only” thing Graphen adds is additional hardening and some customization and sandboxing code.

I just looked up this ubuntu

Lol, this ubuntu. Not knowing one of the, if not the single most well known Linux distro is already telling enough.

From what I skimmed it’s not hardened, and 10 years behind graphene, but I don’t actually know.

It’s not “behind” GraphenOS, it’s something entirely different. And the hardening is what money could be poured into, along with the other issues it still has. Still, none of these issues is being owned by Google.

The issue is not what specific vendor produces the OS, but that it should not be based upon something that Google controls. If Google stops publishing the code for the Pixel tree, GraphenOS is fucked. They already had great issues when Google stopped using a public repo and only published updates on a quarterly basis

Google didnt fork Android, they own it. It’s also not really open source anymore since the aosp codebase is only updated every few months and doesn’t accept contributions.

I would not build something new from that. I would rather pour money into fixing the few issues with Ubuntu mobile or something similar and be rid LF Google

I would rather have an actual alternative instead of something that still depends on the whims of Google. Also this would not help in untying the current hard coupling between hardware and software

The idea is that it would force vendors to easily let users install other OSs and app providers to not only allow android and ios

They might have to increase it later, but the batches they already have are of a known price. This just looks like they want to see how much ram prices soar so they can see how much they can ask for the thing

Definitely, Especially the Frame.

That’s exactly what they’ll use it for. We so desperately need a european alternative to android and ios, something that actually respects your data
