I think you should listen to bringup of Linux on Playstation talk from CCC to understand that those platforms are much more than just "somewhat customized".

There are whole sections of peripheral chips missing and they behave quite a bit differently with how they bootstrap and where things are mapped in memory.

This is about a WiFi client - on WiFi networks the AP station chooses frequency and manufacturers/driver writers fuck up legal frequency lists and regulatory codes all the time.

Moving the goalposts to "it's not their fault that it doesn't work" doesn't really change it doesn't work.

There's quite a list you can get even from GrapheneOS's posts - among other things, there's a rather large set of apps that will outright crash when MTE is enabled.

Where are you gonna go when everyone has them?

Actually functionality, stability of apps and features people use.

99.9% od the code GrapheneOS uses and 100% of hardware (including one like Titan security chip handling storage encryption and key store) is from Google.

So what are you on about man - it's easy to take someone else's work and put tweaks on it that wouldn't work at scale.

You mean they pay for the video storage, video streaming bandwidth, transcode CPU and serving the videos with ads on their content.

So let's start with the worse one.

That's just absolute nonsense, where do you get these kind of ideas?

Just because you don't have monopoly on your stupid ideas, you don't get to hire Pinkerton's to beat others.

Tens of thousands dollars of donations over decades is a very small amount of money even outside US.

None of my machines or most other machines used those tactics to install it. We installed it because it was heck of a faster browser in times when others sucked.

Advertising a browser is now "shady"?

And yes, both things can be true which is why lying about one of them is wrong.

Just because they advertised the browser, it didn't mean it wasn't actually better no matter how much you hate that fact.

It's really disgusting to see such misinformation spread because you hate what actually happened.

That's not what I claimed or said, do read my posts please and project less :)

Omarchy seems to be pentested by a bunch of angry haters. Who's pentesting your arch install? :P

Let's see how that goes considering Motorola's track record of support :)

GrapheneOS is fully dependant on the OEM of the phone to supply them with up to date drivers and can't support their builds longer than that.

It's hard if you think of it as an afterthought. It's easy if you keep it in mind from the start and choose your stack and approach correctly from the start.

That's usually the problem with startup software - most if startup engineers will rather burn 10 hours coding that 1 hour thinking and choosing the right things.

One common issue is to use rooted phones to automatically drive banking apps to commit fraud at scale.

Create lots of fake accounts, bounce transactions, use them to automate phishing scams, etc.

Massively harder to do that on a non rooted device.

They also famously manufacture the most stable and performant network cards, wifi card, thunderbolt controllers, etc. And provide drivers for Linux.

Plenty of components for quivalents of which Avahi struggles with on MacBooks.

Yeah, they insist on that and then write long blog posts on how they have to reverse engineer basic things which have been contributed by other manufacturers to linux kernel directly.

Intel Corporation is indeed the largest corporate contributor of commits to Linux Kernel (outside individual contributors).

No MacBook runs for 27 hours even if it says so in spec sheet. My 16" doesn't come close to apple claims.

(Did we really forget how inflated Apple battery claims really are?)

Are you... genuinely this naive and ignorant to what's happening in USA?

Going slow is an understatement - is it even being properly developed after the main personalities quit?

nVidia has provided feature parity for their GPUs between Windows and Linux for longer than even fglrx was a thing.

Just because they don't give you all their source on command doesn't mean they weren't supporting Linux for decades. They were the only GPU that even worked halfway on Linux (and BSD) for a long time.

Noone who can buy dynamite and a boat is starving.

Most HNers don't even understand what percentages are and throw out dumb statements like "mega corp can treat 1% of users like crap, it's a small number!"

Blatant lies about everything EU does have become pretty much a normal state of things on HackerNews and social media nowadays.

There are millions of dollars (and rubles) pumped into anti-EU propaganda that fuel this.
