Or you wouldn't write confidential emails in Outlook and have confidential conversations in Teams. Obviously. Right? Right?

I agree. I was just saying "in my experience". /e/OS and LineageOS support so many phones that it can change a lot.

Well, "bro", I was trying to see what you consider "far, far too cozy". So apparently you consider that Switzerland was obviously just like Vichy France? At least obviously-enough to "ok bro" me?

I think it depends a lot on the country. If you go to countries that were invaded, people have been in contact with their grandparents. It's not "something that happened far away", it's "stories from family I'v

The French "gendarmerie" has been on Linux for decades now, hasn't it?

They consistently choose to depend more and more on the US (see the latest military developments). I'm already surprised they would even consider an alternative to MS365.

by palata 10d ago
I am not so convinced: most staff do relatively basic stuff with MS365, right? People don't like to even try something else, but when they have no choice, it doesn't take them 5 years to understand how to select text in one of the

I believe they are saying two things: - They feel like the Swiss person above shouldn't say stuff like "the US were never friends". And... you know... they are entitled to their feelings, I guess? - Switzerland should not hav

Genuinely interested: - Would you say that "France was far, far too cozy with the Nazis"? Half of France was occupied for most of the war, after all. And enough people were collaborating. - Would you say that the UK was far, far t

"Neutrality" for a country (as per the Hague convention) basically means that you cannot help a belligerent and you have to treat the belligerents equally. So I assume that if you open your borders to all fleeing citizens, that&#x

There is a definition of neutrality [1][2] based on the Hague convention. [1]: https://avalon.law.yale.edu/20th_century/hague05.asp [2]: https://avalon.law.yale.edu/20th_century/hague13.asp

Do we agree that the Android security model is baked into AOSP? Or would you say that the Play Services bring the security model to Google-certified Android, GrapheneOS implements its own security model from scratch, and LineageOS as well?

by palata 10d ago
Linux is GPLv2, though. Not sure if that makes a difference here.

They may as well get ready for an eventual hard fork, then?

by palata 10d ago
I am really not sure what you are trying to say. GrapheneOS is AOSP + stuff. LineageOS is AOSP + stuff. Certified Google Android is AOSP + stuff. What comes from AOSP goes into GrapheneOS, LineageOS and Certified Google Android. So obviousl

I think it would just be a lot of work. And if you went down that road, you would be against other teams with bigger marketing and a bigger community. As in: people who do care enough to understand the technical arguments tend to go for Gra

I have seen inflammatory comments coming from all communities, I wouldn't say it's only GrapheneOS. Though I haven't seen any of those in a while... as if they all got a lot more professional in their communications suddenly?
