All your points are true, yet still depend on Google in sandboxed form. That negates everything else for me, who wants a reasonably secure device that works out of the box and also respects my privacy.

If a nation-state wants into my phone, it’s delusional to believe even graphene can hold them off, you need real opsec for that, and unfortunately all I’ve seen thus far from graphene guys is cosplaying that the NSA wants your porn selfies.

Graphene and micro g? Cool. Sandboxed Google? Nope.

Agreed, it shouldn’t be their problem. But, I am using applications just fine that are sensitive to root, even device attestation, but I don’t recommend attestation just out of principle.

Even pokemon go seem to run ok with just micro g and aurora.

There’s also CalyxOS, low drama and very reliable. Https://www.calyxos.org

Built, physically operational reactors that operate as close to Q=1 as they can, with all the diagnostics included.

The diagnostics are very important, as plasma instabilities have been, and continue to be, the critical issue preventing anything useful coming out of our decades of fusion reactor design. All these companies are sharing data on overcoming plasma instability issues, with multiple geometries aimed at evaluating how plasma responds to different inputs in different environments. We’re all trying to understand how to control and compress something far too hot to physically touch.

@[email protected] scaling fusion isn’t a trivial problem, and saying it like it is indicates a lack of background knowledge. This isn’t a competition between companies (no matter what our CEOs suggest), as we in industry quietly all agree that any of us that cracks this unchains humanity from the solar system. Because government funding has unfortunately sucked so much ass, we’re sort of using private money to get the basic research done. We’d be so much farther ahead otherwise.

Good points and questions. First wall interaction is going to be an interesting problem for this team to work around.

No??

I’ve supported engineering at several privately funded nuclear fusion companies, though all of them, this Chinese company included, are building a product out of public school research.

Off the top of my head there’s:

• CFS
• TAE technologies
• Thea
• Zap Energy

And several more…

I’ll mention that a pixel with CalyxOS works great as well, no google code code other than AOSP which helps battery life a lot.

Some things like voice controlled companion or android auto are being implemented, but I never really gave a fuck about that stuff, being on bicycle or motorcycle only.

I don’t care how nice the sports car is, if it’s not going where I want it to, I’m not getting in.

I saw the same when I lived in OC. It’s pretty lively up here in Seattle too.

Same, I’ve been team calyx for several years now, the dev rocks and I’m very happy to donate to them for keeping my pixel 3 running.

No. As an engineer, I can and will vouch for building a larger, stronger chain of regret against greed, lest this type of shit happen again years down the line.

The more people scarred by touching and feeling the results of their own greed and hubris, the longer it’ll be before we see such disregard for human life in an engineering firm.

The trick is how many more of us there are. The aristocracy seemed pretty complacent and untouchable, until one day when that changed.

Not saying it’s gotta get to that point, but making people see the direct consequences of their greed would be so good for us all.

Bullshit, these fucks led to hundreds of terrified deaths in pursuit of profit alone.

Accountants, engineers, manages, round em up and make them look through the wallets and personal possessions of the people who perished.

Nothing but time. So long as their testing is rigorous, they will catch up to Boeing… But will they be rigorous? History has repeatedly suggested, no.

But we in the west shouldn’t count on that continually being the case.

No music, I’m fucking forcing as much gasoline and/or electrons into the motor as the pedal will permit, while planning how to park a little bit away and sneak onto the property quietly.

Let’s see who’s got the better strategy, because questions will be answered.

I was a long-time Xubuntu fan, tried Ubuntu directly from canonical for my new laptop.

It’s been a bit rocky, all things considered. I think I’m trying something else next time, maybe mint or whatever. Maybe Xubuntu, but only if this snap shit has been cut out.

They sort of tried at my last job… There’s portable, non admin installs of Firefox available. The tricky part was ssl inspection certificates, but even that is easier than it used to be.

Same here, even my newly issued work PC always gets the Firefox treatment. Annoyingly, some sites that I need for work (almost, but not quite, zero) just do not work with Firefox, but do with chrome.

I support an engineering org server, they access their files via nextcloud with a mariadb server and redis, plus some caching stuff for php-fpm, and an nginx front-end.

No complaints, checks (from what I see) all your boxes and has been very dependable going on 6 yrs now for all their simulation data both large and small off a little 1gbps dell r710.

Don’t install a lot of plugins. The setup documentation seems to be just right, getting you to the ideal destination of reliable and fast. Do take the option to run tasks in crontab, instead of internally.

I need the ROMs to play with hardware in ways manufacturers and Google don’t intend. I don’t ask the manufacturer for permission, nor do I need to as source code and bootloaders are available.

I’m not willing to be a data point for profit, I don’t give a fuck whether it’s the shithead ccp or fuckbox google, my data stays on my phone unless I decide otherwise.

Can’t do that? Again, proud of your weakest element. How strange. Enjoy your inferior phone.
