One idea is that the stock rom by Google may phone home even when locked. Perhaps with a malicious WiFi network, attackers can exploit the phone through a flaw in DNS or HTTP handling.

If GrapheneOS skips contacting remote servers like that, they would not be vulnerable.

It would be a story of Google prioritizing tracking over security.

"State is the enemy".

Every new state is an additional condition to check. A mutated variable implies an additional state to test.

One boolean means two states to test. Four booleans that interact is 2^4 (16) states to test.

Which is why functional programmers believe in the separation of Church and state. https://wiki.c2.com/?SeparationOfChurchAndState

Why?

How so? Arch is much more technical and does not even come with a graphical package manager by default.

I also thought Lambda looked promising at first, but we ultimately abandoned all our Lambda projects and started using containers as needed.

Lambda still requires that you need to update the Node runtime every year or two, while with your own containers, you can decide on your own upgrade schedule.

Not if you deploy your container to Lambda…

AND they haven't publicly admitted they made a mistake yet, either. That would be another missed opportunity to correct their course.

They probably concluded at this point it wouldn't mean much and they are somewhat right. Every day they fail to address the situation that apology needs to be a lot bigger and it can only get so big.

It used to be one of the distinctions that made ChromeOS worse was that it required a Google account to use while a Windows device something you had more agency with.

Moderation is a strength of the fediverse, because it is decentralized, with many moderators making possibly conflicting rules about relatively smaller amounts of content.

Moderators can block individual posts, accounts, or entire instances if they have objectionable alternate rules.

Don't like the moderation on some instance? Move to another.

I found of these that had a built-in retro game console with screen. Like, the kind of little game that a small child would be interested in. So frustrating.

I taught myself QGIS for spatial analysis of map data-- coming at it from a coding perspective. It has great Python integration. It's also surprisingly useful as a spreadsheet alternative for certain tasks because it supports a SQL-like interface into CSV data, so you can join CSVs with spatial data or with each other, create views and virtual fields, and so on. Overall, very impressed with the depth, breadth, and ease of use considering how powerful it is.
