Im gonna be honest i really don’t care about that. There is no sensitive data on my phone except maybe social media logins and i have a recent backup so🤷
@SomeBoyo What "long term support"? Official GrapheneOS releases for a device end when the official Android support ends because they don't support hardware where the firmware is not updated anymore. Or did that change recently?
@SomeBoyo Yeah that's the normal devices guarantee you also get with normal android on pixel devices. So in terms of longevity GrapheneOS doesn't offer any advantages. There are other advantages of course.
Odd choice to use GrapheneOS if you don’t care about security
Not really. People’s threat models differ, some just want to escape Google’s spyware without also requiring your device be a portable iron mountain. Some may also just want the additional control GrapheneOS provides for restricting permissions of apps, or their unique play store handling etc.
GrapheneOS has a ton of positives besides its security IMO.
For me it’s just a little saddening that their secure focus conflicts with extending the life of mobile devices. Although really that’s something that probably won’t change unless we get a truly open source mobile platform, with firmware development out in the open.
that’s fair I suppose, I wasn’t saying not to use it, just that it is worth noting. these strict security policies are what makes mobile platforms much more secure than desktop platforms. I typically use my phone for security sensitive tasks because of this, so I tend to care a lot more about this stuff. if you have any banking info or password managers stored on the device, be careful.
I’ll admit, it is pretty unlikely anything to happen, though. always just better knowing.
It targets that because those old “insecure” SDKs allows people to use their system as something that isn’t a toy. Newer sdk versions refuse to run code that wasn’t included in the apk
Mobile platforms like android and iOS (more specifically GrapheneOS), are leagues ahead of desktop operating systems in terms of security because of these strict policies. and besides, you are treating untrusted code as untrusted code. I don’t see the flaw in that logic.
sure, they could use more apis for accessing system directories and stuff like that securely, but that’s not really in scope. this is for end users. not field deployment on an sbc for something.
Oh you just gave me an idea. I have the old pc of my grandma wich i wanted to turn into a personal server for various use cases. With ssh i could control it from my phone
There is a project for Debian too, but I don’t have root so I did it in proot. Works, but I couldn’t manage to start a VNC server for the life of me due to a complete lack of proper permissions and the lack of an init system.
I do appreciate the fact that more private Piped links are provided instead of direct YouTube links (my bad btw), although direct ways of saying thank you (messaging developers, sending donations, providing feedback) would be more useful and productive
thanks for the advice. I’m also not a fan of those type of comments too lol
I apologize for coming off so harsh… I’ve just been seeing these a lot and they really annoy me. Unfortunately you were the person that was at the end of those frustrations. I was out on a ride and was thinking about my message to you and regretted it, I should have been more kind in my messaging.
I use Termux:Boot, Termux:API, plus root to disable the green dot notification for location access. It’s a little cleaner than going through Tasker since the Secure Settings plugin isn’t maintained anymore.
Obviously I understand that training a neural network is necessary, but AI has been used in some capacity to translate previously indecipherable languages.
If you had hidden cameras, you could gather data on how the language is being used in various scenarios. That might be enough for an ai to use to “learn” the language
This sounds like the sort of fucked up thing someone could write a SF novel about. Imagine thinking a test for AI is worth messing with innocent people’s lives.
