more like stumbling, recently

The exact same article that the GrapheneOS devs cited, I mentioned the other news coverage, but didn’t find it necessary to cite every article, since the point I’m making still stands.

The police’s job is to enforce the laws that be, and be bound by them. The legislature, in france’s case, the assemblée nationale and sénat, write the laws. As an example, french law enforcement can’t force signal to break their encryption, but the legislature could.

The point I’m making is that law enforcement trying to break into encrypted phones, and news orgs coverting that isn’t “the government targeting them”. There is a distinction between “the government” and law enforcement.

I mean yeah, but that’s an article from a private company that says that law enforcement is going to try to hack into criminal’s phones. Which, like, duh.

The person being interviewed explicitely says that since there are legitimate users of the service, they won’t take the same approach they did with services used only by criminals.

Avec ce nouvel outil, il existe pour une certaine partie des utilisateurs une réelle légitimité dans la volonté de protéger ses échanges. L’approche est donc différente. Mais ça ne nous empêchera pas de poursuivre les éditeurs, si des liens sont découverts avec une organisation criminelle et qu’ils ne coopèrent pas avec la justice.

they’re saying that if grapheneOS is found to be explicitely working with criminals they’ll take measures against the org, which is completely reasonable.

Law enforcement doesn’t make the law, they just enforce it. When you say “the government” you imply the legislature is part of what you’re talking about.

Yeah, but the they is law enforcement, not the government.

Doesn’t work, it’s packaged as an UWP app which makes it not work afaik

The state media isn’t controlled by the state, they’re just as independent as the corporate media. The media atmosphere is a valid reason to leave, but don’t say you’re “heavily targeted by the state”.

Not directly related, but you can see it in the post. I also really don’t like how agressive Graphene is about other projects and how set in their ways they are about gps, it really put me off the project.

ooh I didn’t realise that instance was local for me, I might have to move my account

n.1 is the model 3, kind of a misleading headline

For anyone wondering, the cpu is an intel one.

I don’t want google play services on my phone at all, sandboxed gps still sucks ass for privacy

still can’t use it on degoogled android phones /:

There’s quite a few like opterey, incogni or IDX. Not sure if they’re any good, but there’s tons of companies that do that, probably why mozilla shut theirs down

tbf the 40 years after the french revolution were called “the terror”

Hadn’t heard of RomM before, seems like a very cool project.

I genuinely can’t imagine doing marketing this tonedeaf

To be fair to them the whole UI of the program is currently built with a windows-only framework, so a linux port requires a UI rewrite

very nice, a playnite console ui for a linux handheld would be sick
