What doesn't fit here?

The core of the story has to be technology focused.


Post guidelines

Title formatPost title should mirror the news source title. If you don't like the title of article, look for an alternative source instead of editorializing it.
URL formatPost URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefixOpinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn't explictly endorse.
Country prefixCountry prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn't clearly mention the country.


Rules

1. English onlyTitle and associated content has to be in English.
2. Use original linkPost URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
3. Respectful communicationAll communication has to be respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences.
4. InclusivityEveryone is welcome here regardless of age, body size, visible or invisible disability, ethnicity, sex characteristics, gender identity and expression, education, socio-economic status, nationality, personal appearance, race, caste, color, religion, or sexual identity and orientation.
5. Ad hominem attacksAny kind of personal attacks are expressly forbidden. If you can't argue your position without attacking a person's character, you already lost the argument.
6. Off-topic tangentsStay on topic. Keep it relevant.
7. Instance rules may applyIf something is not covered by community rules, but are against lemmy.zip instance rules, they will be enforced.

There are a few projects already in existence that might be more convenient, than an rpi5 like fairphones, and I think the grapheneos team is looking to develop something too.

[–] Olgratin_Magmatoe@slrpnk.net 5 points 8 months ago

Yeah, that's the more realistic option. Though it would cost several hundred dollars more.

Not that I have a better idea, but Graphene os devs I think were found to be scummy by Louis Rossmann at some point.

Source? Not arguing, I'm just not informed.

That's his second channel by the way, not some reposter.

[–] 0x0@lemmy.zip 3 points 8 months ago

The lead developer in question seems to have stepped down from the position.

[–] 0xD@infosec.pub 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Graphene is the currently most secure option, whatever drama Louis stirs up again.

[–] 87Six@lemmy.zip 1 points 8 months ago

Not contestintn that, but that wasn't drama stirred up by Louis.
