It depends what you mean. Will open source software be less safe comparatively to closed source because of AI? No. Will it be less safe? yes. All software is less safe because of AI. Has nothing to do with open source.

it does yeah but I’ve got one personally and intend to keep using it regardless.

Well you realize there are two sides to a partnership right? Motorola is a for profit company. They want to make money. They’re not gonna subsidize our security. Graphene likely will support their cheaper phones in the future, but part of the deal was this phone being first I’m sure.

You can get Pixel 6 for 195$ refurbished on Amazon.

Pixel 8 renewed is lik 260$ and runs Graphene and has software support thru like 2030 fyi

Well I don’t think Graphene OS devs chose the price of the phone lol. This is just the Motorola phone that has the hardware Graphene requires. Like a security chip. Give it a few years and this phone will be on the used market for 400$.

Honestly i’d just get a renewed pixel 8

On the bright side they were already looking for a new job. Since they definitely don’t have that old one anymore lol.

You could get a framework 13 mainboard for this much and use it for the same fucking purpose but it would have way more functionality.

Debian is also perfectly capable of running more bleeding edge stuff if you really wanna do it. I built niri from source on it. Works great.

Debian is honestly goated. Like I love me a nice boring stable distro that just keeps on chugging. I have done such crazy stuff to Debian and it just refuses to care. It’s like a nokia phone that got run over by a car and still works.

tru

Linux is so user friendly it will delete vital files when you tell it too and break your system. I think BSD should take it a step further. Just start to randomly do it just to fuck with people.

Nope. It’s not even Fortnite. These days it’s all Roblox.

One of my favorite passtimes is going on a chatbot and asking it really out of left field questions. “Last night while I was sleeping I was woken up to my neighbor making fried eggs in my kitchen. The eggs were pretty good, but I’m concerned how he got inside. Do you know what seasonings he might have used on the egg? It was green.”

Well I didn’t do it because I thought it would be a popular decision. So I’m not surprised you and many others don’t like that I did. Gosh, maybe if I’d voted for Kid Killer Kamala instead she’d have won and we’d have a girl boss president right now! Too bad I’m never gonna do that. You just need to realize that I do not have the same goals as you. Maybe theres some minor overlap on social issues, but those are hardly the thing I care about most.

but this garbage that they violently cut loose is insane.

I’m starting to think you non-americans are just unaware of what America is like. Nothing I said is abnormal for an American. Going Skeetshooting, going to the range, etc are all normal activities that millions of Americans do regularly. If you own a gun and don’t practice with it then that’s just irresponsible. Not a single thing I said is illegal to do, or violent. That is just your own fantasy. And the idea that your going to do a “national peaceful shutdown” and that’s not going to be met with mass violence, at which point you will need the people who weren’t so naive to come protect you, is hilarious btw.

I’m butthurt? You seem a lot more upset about this than I am. I literally told you to do whatever you want, but you can’t handle the fact I’m not gonna vote for your democrats lol. I wish I was a foreign asset. Then I wouldn’t have to live in this shit hole of a country. But yes, everyone who disagrees with you is a bot. Good job. You figured it out. Bee-boop. Em-Dash. etc.

So basically you can’t handle the idea that there are people who don’t think voting is going to make a difference? Even when i say to do it if you want to? I’m not telling people not to vote. I’m just saying my opinion on it. And then on the guns thing you say basically exactly what I said verbatim but then act like your version is the more reasonable and mine is somehow “violent” in a way yours isn’t. Like what do you think “protecting yourself” in a worst case scenario would look like? It would look like a civil war. Do you have some fantasy that you’d somehow just be going it alone like rambo and wouldn’t need to pick a side? What exactly do you take issue with in regards to guns that I was saying?

And I don’t really see your let’s all hold hands and sing kumbayah until everything is fixed schtick as all that lovely either. The idea that we’re just going to have the entire working class united against capitalists is an ahistorical fantasy. There will be brownshirts, and whites, and counter revolutionaries.
