That would heavily depend on whether a fork splits systemd's developers off. Controversial changes have spilt FOSS development teams before. The entire point of forks is to allow taking projects in different philosophical or technical directions.

That's the son's company (Skydance). Maybe Larry could just ask him for a loan I guess.

My understanding is that Claude is particularly geared towards being a tool for people to use rather than a human replacement. That's why they had that whole spat with the Pentagon about a human needing to be in the loop.

Possibly at a base level, but not well. Most US carriers have a white list of devices certified to use their networks.

The xmpp server also seems to be out of date. Conversations can't connect to it.

At the moment this is a win for the workers. They should get their full share of the payout, now. The main danger is now their parent company may be hostile to them (or even try to close them) until the parent company CEO gets replaced.

Not CEO. Kaplan was a VP at Blizz.

Personally, I'd love a phone I can experiment with pure Linux OSs or Sailfish on.

Graphene has beef with every device maker that doesn't include a secure element throttle (which is every device maker except Google and Apple, and presumably Moto as of the first partnership device).

They partner with Murena for selling to the US right now (though its only usable on Tmobile).

They are trying to enter the US market on their own (perhaps with the Fairphone 7), but the US carriers make things way more complicated than other markets. They already sell their headphones in the US through Amazon as of late last year.

Makes little difference now since Xperia abandoned the US entirely -- but the last few years they were in the US, Xperia US devices were locked down.
