transness as an economic symptom
men are seen as the breadwinners, value determined by money, finances, economic power
more and more men are unable to access this value, this causes gender dysphoria, and seeing that the economic power of women is stronger than men, seek to gain that economic power via transitioning. this only accounts for a small but noticable percentage of trans people, and does not imply that all trans people come from this logic, only that this logic does to some degree create trans people, and if economic opportunities were better, there would surely be less trans people. This is also why the bulk of new trans people are trans women. Women don't really need to transition to a man to access the economics that womanhood innately brings. The inability to perform the role of man, which is fundmentally an economic role, leads to men transitioning.

would you be trans if you had a good job making 120k a year? if you had the ability to support a family? I wouldn't be.

>So you admit that you get your knowledge from popsci hosts.
Do you know what popsci is? Hint: it's not female influencers talking about how they hate men and gathering hundreds of thousands of views and agreement from women in comment section.

> Yes. It’s called reading up on some history books
Not sure what a history book has to do with modern dating market and pussy hyperinflation.

>Women were required by society to learn how to cook, clean, do laundry, split logs, tend the farm, etc

Poor them! And men were required to die in war, and not like "do this or some will frown upon you" but actually physically forced.
But anyway not sure what the fuck this has to do with modernity where women openly say they do no housework, that a man that cannot provide with daily restaraunts/deliveries/etc is too poor anyway. And men still are forcefully sent to die in a war wherever there is a war.

Completely moronic

Modern dating is about mutual entitlement and bitterness from both genders.

Hay una psyop masiva para generar odio contra argentina y justificar una posible intervención o lento takeover del país y sus recursos.

Por medio del mundial estan pintando al pais como una potencia sionista corrupta y despreciable. Estan habiendo demasiadas decisiones y doble vara arbitral que es dificil que sean todas coincidencia. Hay alguien interesado en generar toda esta dinamica, quiza para devolverle un favor a alguien y de paso indirectamente arrastrar polemica pero mejor no digo más. Despues del partido contra Egipto cualquier tipo de simpatia entre el pueblo que pudiera tener argentina en medio oriente y muchas partes del mundo directamente se evaporó.
Y por otro lado, llevan años queriendo pintar al pais como un pais racista, colonialista y hasta settler-imperialista por no tener negros en su seleccion o por sesgos historicos terribles que los anglosajones liberales y progres se tragan como bobos. Para muchos en su imaginario ya argenitina no es menos que el manifest destiny americano y por supuesto un estado ilegitimo.

>¿que verdad?

You're some kind of Brit with Chilean parents or some shit, cause that's not Spanish. Or maybe you are a filipino talking chabacano or some shit.

But idk why the fuck everybody in here talking like this. A territory is not essentially part of a country, so why the fuck everybody saying is British? The fucking British who colonized and fucked over the whole world? Those fucking isles could be anyone's, but you somehow supporting British claim, fuck that. The only reason Argentina doesn't have them is because of a consistent history of neocolonial impotence, but you should all at least not give faith to the fucking anglos you stupid fucks

Why the fuck would any country want the fucking brits on their doorstep? Is completely logical that Argentina is pushing this line in foreign policy, even if they can't do nothing much about it for the moment. But for a long time there were agreements that the British couldn't economically exploit the isle, but Macri signed a deal allowing them to do so, the fucking cuck, and now Milei will allow them to exploit a petroleum deposit that has been found, an industry that will bring a stronger anglo presence. Or should Argentina not do anything about it and just surrender a territory in its maritime space right next to itself without even trying to hinder British activity? Are you saying that a global south country should not pursue its interest as much as possible? I already said that the succdem peronist succeeded in blocking activity in the isle, even if annexation now is only a wet dream. The war back in the day was pushed by a comprador military junta that was USA's dog to begin with, using spoiled stockpiled weapons that didn't even work… It was nothing but a careerist propaganda effort to improve their public image, which was suffering because of the state of the economy. But that doesn't mean the Malvinas aren't part of the national interest, one of the only good items of ideological canon floating in argentinian's heads, that locates all of them directly against the west and in line with national sovereignty.

I didn't name the board you stupid scumbag. Latin in Spanish means latin, as in, ancient latin. It is only due to Burger cultural hegemony that the stupid germanoid angloid exonym even rolled down south to begin with. And dont tell me now that English also has latin origins cause I know and don't give a fuck, if they called the region "latin" is because of some difference they found, a difference they, of course, had to denominate in an ill-found stupid manner, cause they can't help being retarded. But what's even more retarded is turning a stupid exonym as an endonym, just because its bound with "cool" items of kitch yanqui kitsch culture, such as "cool" latin music, "cool" latin gangbangers in "badass" mafia movies, "cool" latin Grammy awards, and all this culture industry bullshit world we're living in.

Just so you know, a lot of Argentinians do call themselves "latin". As usual, you are being fooled by the media presence of the most conservative and reactionary elements in online media "culture". But that's only a recent development, even ten years ago nobody called themselves like that, and even today the exonym is only used when comparing themselves with the euroid or angloid cold, unfriendly, unloving ethos, something which to them is completely absurd and irrational and hard to comprehend and to adapt to. And even though I'm not an expert, I bet that in the whole south cone, Bolivia and Brazil it's the same way, cause "latin" (anglosphere Hispanic) culture is not so big in the region. The majority of people don't even speak English here, so why would they identify with an anglo exonym? Only inasmuch as the culture (industry) is infected with angloid influence.

destructive book scanning is already an established practice for digitizing print books and it's the only way to digitize a book and get a high-quality flat scan of every page with no shadows, companies have been doing it for years and they don't do it with expensive rare antique books. this is just a sensationalized regurgitation of an old washington post story, probably recycled by 404media or futurism, that's all they do nowadays is churn out enormous amounts of AI doomsday critihype clickbait, probably with the aid of LLMs.

they make it seem like AI companies are destroying all the books like brave new world or something, but there's like hundreds of billions of copies of books in the world and they only need to scan one copy to get a digitized copy. it's probably a good thing actually, most books in the world have not been digitized and they're all disintegrating and becoming unreadable, pretty much any book printed before 1996 was printed on acidic paper that disintegrates within a century and only a tiny fraction of all the books in the world have been digitized, probably less than 10%. most of it will never be digitized and will just be gone forever.

Hi guys.

I took almost 8mg of Subutex (Buprenorphine) by snorting yesterday between the hours of 17-23.

Today I managed to acquire 35mgs of Levomethadone, which is equivalent of ~70 mg of Methadone (and without the NMDA receptor fuckery). How long should I wait before taking all of it so that the Buprenorphine of yesterday doesn't block my high.

People keep telling me 24 hours (since this was a one-time thing). I didn't want to take Buprenorphine since it sucks. But Levomethadone is a great high. I'm going to boost it with 1mg of Alprazolam as well as a heavy dose of nicotine.

It's been 12 hours since my last Bupe snort. So 12 hours left to go. Is this true and right? Or could I cheat a bit and take the methadone after just 16 hours?

What's your opinion?

CCP aids. I mean their quality is surprisingly good but they're full of spyware and bloatware. If you want to install lineage you have to fetch like half a gig of unsigned firmware from some shady source

what do we actually need phones for anymore? nobody leaves their house except to go to work or run errands, don't need a phone for that. nobody talks to their friends or relatives by telephone or sms anymore, don't need a phone for that. need gps for your car, just buy a gps receiver it's much cheaper than a phone and works better and access to the gps network is free. if you have to make a phone call to some business for whatever reason they never answer the phone or they do answer it's a machine and if it's not a machine it's a person on other side of the world who can't speak or understand english and it's not that it's a checked out receptionist who just lies to get you off the phone and doesn't relay whatever message you give them. mobile apps are all malware garbage. mobile websites are all malware garbage. social media websites are all horrible and constantly harass you to install malware ad-infested apps and you're not allowed to use the web browser on your own phone. you have a mini-anxiety attack every time your phone rings or gets a notification and 90% of the time it's just ads and spam, you waste your time and make yourself miserable scrolling mindless bullshit instead of doing something productive, you stress about plugging it in and keeping it charged every day like the whole world will end if your phone battery dies. why are we buying $500+ phones and paying $50+ a month for this?

You want technical arguments? Today i've been reading the code of NetBSD libedit, to patch context-sensitive tab completion into a piece software, that uses the histedit.h interface. I couldn't imagine doing the same with readline, because GNU code is usually several magnitudes larger in scope and incidentally incomprehensible to me most of the time. The manpage says it all:
>BUGS
>It’s too big and too slow.
And if you've ever had the pleasure of bootstrapping the GNU toolchain, you should know this complexity will occasionally pounce on the user with a vengeance. I'm not saying writing a high-performance optimizing compiler like GCC is easy, but if i had the choice, i wouldn't want my system to be compiled by something that gets a new release with a guaranteed slew of regressions every few months. There's got to be a better way!

If you were talking about Mach instead, its poor performance is an old hat, that is even stated in its wikipedia article. I remember reading a two-parter about Mach and XNU, but can't find it at the moment.

so this is what tor posters are allowed for, wasting time with ai-generated nonsense?

What i wrote was quite simple. Is this your cover for not having reading comprehension?

My patch is calling into the internal symbol fn_complete2(), because _el_fn_complete() exported by histedit.h doesn't allow the completion entry function to be changed. If you get the source yourself from https://www.thrysoee.dk/editline you will find the relevant code in filecomplete.c.

>Audiences are increasingly into worldbuilding and fan fiction because they like filling in those blanks
You're right in this being a draw for a lot of people, but i see it more as an out-of-text thing and one that doesn't even require the story deliberately leaving things vague. Take for example the Worm webnovel, whose text includes super-detailed worldbuilding, that is near-exhaustive when taken together with its "sequel". Many writers in the setting, especially in the spacebattles community, have a complicated relationship with Ward and some themes of the original work, which is why they often intentionally play loose with canon.

Ultimately you can only make the far weaker statement, that a community into worldbuilding and fanfiction may elevate an otherwise lackluster story.

>>47784
I think this type of fandom is just bad for writing, ultimatly, worldbuilding doesn't matter much, a story may have a well made interesting setting, if the writing doesn't follow, then it's worthless in terms of art, even if it might sell well among a certain community.
It's also weird to see it being heralded as some major criticism, you'll even see people direct it towards children's books like Harry Potter, when nonsensical worlds parodying our own has been a staple of children's litterature for a while, just see Roahl Dahl's books.
I'll say that letting plot unresolved if often fairly bad, you don't need to explore every background character's life, if anything, an encyclopedic explaination of everything just hurts the immersion of the reader.

>>47783
no anon is clearly saying that you leave some things that are open to interpretation, not that you never wrap up the main plot. like the suitcase in pulp fiction. nobody sees what's inside of it. it's fun to speculate whether it's supernatural or not. but the plot isn't left dangling.

I'm taking part in a kind of stupid tournament on a webnovel website. I had no time to really think of a novel world so it is just mediaeval European fantasy which I kind of hate. I'm trying out daily releases for chapters (which means the quality of prose is not what I'd like), but nobody is reading lol. It's not my best work but if you want to read its here: https://www.honeyfeed.fm/novels/31816

I was going to say "what a coincidence, I'm also reading it" but then I realized your post is four months old, so not that much of a coincidence.
Anyway, I'm not that deep into it yet but I'm actually enjoying it immensely. But I tend to like plotless books. I actually find it refreshing how much of the book is just dedicated to drawing out the protagonist's deranged aestheticism. But I can also see why that would put people to sleep.

I thought getting into the classics was just a matter of picking up the books as cheap as possible and reading them at your leisure but apparently you also have to be extra careful that you don't get a shitty translation or low quality edition. Like I found out that the copies of The Count of Monte Cristo and Crime and Punishment I read at my school library were made by some sketchy Mexican publisher that although it sells literature classics at very low prices it also cuts several pages of both books, had several typos and outright censored lots of shit because the translation they got was made during Franco era Spain.
It fucking sucks how people have to pay more to get the REAL book from a proper publisher like if it was some special edition of a video game, completely anti-art.

<Nearly all self-proclaimed Marxists are frauds who haven’t even read Marx, let alone understand him. They use the label Marxism, despite knowing nothing about it, as a pseudo-intellectual obfuscation for their liberal ideology.

To begin, what is Marxism?
>Marxism is not a theory of equality. It is not a diagnosis of injustice, nor is it a specific prescription of how to remedy society’s ills. Marxism is a method for acquiring knowledge about the laws governing the historical development of societies. Marxism thus regards itself as a type of science. Most people think of science as something purely descriptive.
<But the reason Marx’s contemporaries called him Prometheus is because he bequeathed a science that did not just describe reality, but participated in its development. This makes Marxism totally contrary to modern science.
>Modern science places knowledge above its object. To know, means to strip something naked to consciousness and turn it into a utility for the knowing subject. He who knows an object, can control, master, and alter an object. But the ‘object’ known by Marxism is none other than human society itself. And the paradox lies in the obvious fact that society is not just an object, but also a subject. Marxists (subjects) are themselves part of the very object they make knowable.
<To complicate matters further, Marx does not claim knowledge of society alone can transform society. Instead, he proves that society is already coming to know and transform itself materially in the form of the then growing proletarian class. Most people think Marx is ‘Promethean’ because he wanted his ideas popularized. But the REAL reason was because he had the courage of declaring the return of knowledge back to being itself, and human beings in particular. He created a science that ceased to be above its object.
>For Marx, the knowledge of historical laws arrived at by consciousness, was being reflected in history itself. Knowledge of humanity does not dominate humanity, but reveals that it was there, and part of it all along. “Communism is the riddle of history solved.”

Why the need for class consciousness?

If you are Marxism, then I am not a Marxist.

“Western Marxism,” yesterday and today

https://www.newintermag.com/against-losurdo/

>In recent years, the writings of the late Italian Marxist-Leninist Domenico Losurdo have exerted increasing influence over sections of the Anglophone left. So far ten of his books and more than a dozen articles he wrote have been translated into English, along with a number of interviews. During his lifetime he was praised as an “almost unbelievably well-read” historian of ideas,[1] celebrated as “one of the great contemporary authorities on Hegel.”[2] Posthumously, Losurdo was eulogized as a boundlessly erudite militant and scholar.[3] Today he is held up by the organizers of the Critical Theory Workshop and the owners of the Red Sails website as one of their leading lights. A couple of his texts have been the subject of intense controversy, however. When Stalin: History and Critique of a Black Legend first appeared in Italian in 2008, it generated a storm of outrage. Losurdo’s final written work, Western Marxism: How it was Born, How it Died, and How it can be Reborn, has similarly stirred scandal among commentators. Even before the English edition appeared in September 2024 under the auspices of Monthly Review Press, this polemic garnered a highly critical review in the pages of a major leftwing journal.[4]


>Many of Losurdo’s most outspoken promoters in the English-speaking world have suggested that there is a conspiracy to suppress the translation of his more controversial works. Whether or not this is the case is difficult to ascertain. They are right to point out, in any case, that it is mistaken to treat his books on Stalin or on Western Marxism as if they were somehow aberrant within his broader corpus. No doubt writers produce works of uneven quality; some texts will always be more worthwhile than others. But the comparative approach he adopted with respect to these topics is identical to the one he employed in his inquiries into liberalism, class struggle, nonviolence, Bonapartism contra democracy, and revisionist history, as well as his studies of philosophers like Hegel, Nietzsche, and Heidegger. Losurdo even recycled a number of arguments he made in these works for his reconsideration of Stalin and diatribe against Marxists in the West. It is therefore futile to di

>The following essay will take Losurdo’s book on Western Marxism as its point of departure, but will refer to many of his other works along the way. For ease of readability, it will be divided into three parts. Part one will interrogate how “Western Marxism” was historically articulated, especially how it was taken up by journals influential on the New Left. It will be seen that the notion was evaluated differently depending on how these journals oriented themselves toward “actually-existing socialism,” toward the question of defeat, and toward the prospect of revolutionary politics in the present. Here the methodology utilized by Losurdo will also be examined. Next, a second part will make reference to the various Marxists he disparaged, to see whether his characterization of them withstands scrutiny. Some of his careless, and at times even unscrupulous, scholarship will be demonstrated in this section. Finally, a third part will challenge Losurdo’s antirevisionist credentials.[5] Revisionism is a topic he wrote about at length, mostly when it came to the history of war and revolution, but Losurdo himself revised the teachings of Marx, Engels, and Lenin in two major respects: first by denying the need for coordinated international proletarian revolution, and then by denying that the state would ultimately dissolve in a classless society.

Recently started writing more specifications - the rough sort you'd see for a shed. Was rewriting software over and over again, because I would miss some critical detail that should have been caught in planning. This video was part of the impetus. Have been reading through Ong too, interesting to see a missing mnemonic system for thought which makes the maxim "to think is to write" nearly true.

"When we think we stay with our dictionaries." This one is more aspirational for me. While I love etymologies I rarely put them to work like I should when programming. Rich Hickey sort of makes his own DSL dictionary so that terms are used consistently throughout his program. Not knowing your own terms is surely a way to have weak thoughts.

"Programs are meant to be read by humans and only incidentally by machines." When I was a kid every program I wrote was literate, because I almost exclusively worked through books, and made notes. Although I never had the macro system and typography of WEB, org-mode was a close second. At some point when I started writing more independent programs this was lost. I'm intending to get back into this, even if only in comments.

So, i realized i want to be a mom a while ago, which had me crying a lot for days til i spoke to a therapist, and my endocrinologist.

And so i had to temporarily stop HRT and i feel like i'm dying, currently in a state of induced menopause for a couple of months more and my god, the cold sweats, my throat closes because of the anxiety, depersonalization and disociation makes it hard to do anything besides bedrotting and playing fast paced shooters that let me keep my brain in a constant state of focus in such tasks

and i swear to god, the only thing keeping me from letting me fall apart right now, since my mother decided to stop talking to me because i refused to boymode for her, it's my boyfriend and our future together raising our children in Spain and having them visit their grandparents in México- which hopefully won't go to hell because my brother's gen decide to elect a right winger as president of México to fuck everything up and sell everything to Israel and the US.

disregard the other retard. myriam is well known and kind of popular among millennials but
  1. that doesn't translate into votes
  2. winning elections isn't the point

the vast majority of peronists love her because of her advocacy and immaculate record, but will never vote for her, and the socdem government situation is precisely what the trotskyists want to avoid. besides, it's broadly understood that the "electoral" party exists merely as a front for the "real" organization within it. in other words, it's objective isn't to win elections, but to gather and organize people

if you want a historic example, the bolsheviks were technically a political party but didn't give a shit about the elections for the duma that preceded the 1917 revolutions. similarly, the cpc didn't participate in the roc elections, even after the ceasefire with the kmt

what movement bro? Are you talking about the do-nothing protest or their complete absence from any trade union dominance, or any other form of labour movement for that matter? Trots are much closer to peronist succdem liberal types than any form of bolshevism, and peronist still are incommensurably more dominant in the labour movement than they are, and these are at their lowest point these days. Even the maoists LARPers got more trade union presence with their CCC. The only analogy that can be made between these trots and the OG Bolsheviks is the same one that can be made between the peronists and the KMT : the repetition of the latter as an impotent farce by the former.

> Straight men can have gender euphoria.
Not common to see a man have an instagram filled with photos of themselves, not common to see men posing for a photo, not common to see a man dancing for a camera etc. Because they have nothing to show and they know it, they don't enjoy the sight of themselves, women do, and rightfully so.

There are posts of men showing pics of themselves but they don’t get as much attention as those with women

Also a lot of those Instagram posts of women showing themselves aren’t the average woman. Or if they are, they used alot of food filters

And also because women are socialised to be beauty dolls.

Men who show pics of themselves are often dismissed as narcissistic or gay

Also men show pics/vids of themselves in skits a lot. Something that women don’t do a lot of.

Men do have a lot to show but I don’t expect hebegynophilics like you to understand

You’re only valuing women for their youthful looks

>>9717
Most women who post pics of themselves a lot often have low gender euphoria. There’s a lot of women who don’t post pics of themselves as well.

>>9718
This place worships women far too much to have any sincere discussions about gender relations.

They literally conure up myths about “womb envy” or whatever to paint men in a bad light.
They claim that gender and race are spooks yet they talk about killing white peoples for imperialism and encourage hatred for I do and and Japanese for “rapey tendencies”

They claim to be for LGBTQ but they often focus on trans women, ignoring trans men and cishomo males.

In fact, they often use cis homo males as a byword still while glorifying cishomo females.

They semi-jokingly promote the meme “transitioning would’ve saved them” when talking about male agoraphobes while salivating over female chuds.


They sympathize women who are young, pretty, slim and docile.
They think that older women, fat women, dykes, etc are irrelevant and don’t wanna socialize with them.

Sonic nazis know their favorite franchise is woke and they hate it. Just like UT/DR (Chuddy Fox copers) nazis or even TADC nazis (Trans Jax deniers). They hate the fact they enjoy something woke and they hate themselves for it, so they actively try to deny the franchise is woke and gaslight everyone into ignoring it's themes. That's why we have people in that Sonic Would Love Us group formed by people like Krack, Richard "Diaper Boy" Kuta, Psyco the Coon or the Homophobe duo (AwesomeTime and PurpDerp) harrassing and stalking every LGBT person in the fandom while playing the victim card, when they get called out for it, only to resort to shittier tactics than any of the people they claim are "attacking" them. It's clear just calling them out doesn't work because it just ends with good people getting doxxed and harrassed. If we really want to keep the fandom clean we need to make them shit their pants. Just saying.

>>45125
Archie is a mixed big, the general consensus is that the comic was mostly shit until Ian Flynn picked up the pencil, and there's more diehard fans who think the comic went to shit when Ian Flynn picked up the pencil. I however thing that Archie, just like the games, is a mixed bag throughout. There's good Penders/Bollers stories and there's bad Flynn stories, but there's also good Flynn stories and shitty Penders/Bollers stories. Though lumping Pneders and Bollers is unfair because Bollers is a better writter and person than Penders. Fleetway clears Archie, though.

>>47403
That group combined with the laziness of modern sonic twitter is going to kill what creativity this fandom had. I can already feel the autism venting out of sonic spaces as more and more normalfag cattle wander in now that it's "cool" to like sonic again.

I might be going schizo but I feel like we're getting less and less fangames and projects as the years go by.

>>47500
Sonic has one of the worst examples of consumerist hype culture I've seen.

People will get overly defensive because it's "the new thing to consume" and "atleast isn't (Poorly recieved thing)" but the moment the hype dies down and people are allowed to criticize it more, they'll suddenly wonder why they're "switching up on it".

It never happens in any other franchise. Star Wars fans will despise anything new regardless of it's quality and Pokemon fans will eat up anything new regardless of how awful it is, but atleast they remain comparatively static.

It also doesn't help how normgroids will dismiss any meaningful discussion of aesthetics, storytelling or game designs as "Sonic fans being autistic". r/SonictheHedgejerk being one example of corporate slavery.

>environmentalism as the root of sonic's subtextual political leanings
ok, I can see why you'd think that. sonic and tails, two natural beings of the known world, who are one with nature, attempt to stop a mad scientist from harnessing the power of chaos to assume world domination, subjugation of the entirety of the planet and its living beings through industrialization for his own selfish ends.

however, this is not much different from the basic premise of super mario, which was: a lone supplicant of the crown takes it upon himself to save the kidnapped monarch of the realm from the forces of an imperialistic warlord who would see her as his wife-slave for the sake of encroaching upon the supposedly harmonious kingdom, that has absolutely no problems, social or economical or territorial or otherwise.

in the end, that's a lot of subtext to infer for what amounts to nothing more than tom and jerry, looney tunes type shit. sonic is the roadrunner to robotnik's wiley e. coyote; mario is a masculine power fantasy at his core, that of the braggadocious male who gets the girl in the end by defeating the bad guy, much like the premises of ninja gaiden, shinobi, double dragon, and a slew of other games whose protagonists set out on a haphazard quest to save their wives or girlfriends, and almost entirely divorced from political commentary or underpinnings beyond the assertion and affirmation of gender roles and tropes.

I just think people have a propensity to weave a tapestry of assumptions, that lead from conclusions they've drawn about any given source material, which are more a reflection of themselves than the material in question.

Graphene OS is not degoogled. Recent revelation of security researcher mike kuketz reveals the thruth:

https://www.kuketz-blog.de/grapheneos-warum-android-eine-verbindung-zu-gstatic-com-aufbaut/

The "privacy" ROM connects to Google's gstatic.com for Certificate Transparency logs. While no app data is leaked, Google captures the user’s public IP address and exact request timestamps during these background HTTPS connections.

This enables tracking via cross-correlation: If you open sandboxed apps like X or Instagram, they log your IP. Since Big Tech cooperates and shares telemetry data, Google can match the gstatic connection timestamp with your app activity IP, instantly identifying your GrapheneOS device.

YOU HAVE BEEN LIED TO.

I wouldn't trust an android device with anything important whatever rom it runs.

isn't graphene only compatible with pixel phones? how do you degoogle something that is designed to run solely on google hardware? it seems like they made android even less free in that respect, at least vanilla android runs on tons of different devices and not just google's.

people have some weird interpretations of what liberated software/hardware is, i've always sort of suspected the whole idea was ill-founded and unworkable from the beginning, and seeing maga get in on the act with the "freedom phone" pretty much sealed the deal for me.

>>33871
Vanilla android doesn't run anywhere, android is always customized to run anywhere other than in a vm, it's a cursed shitware os. But yes lineageos supports waaay more devices, and the benefit of graphene seems highly questionable to me.
That said all hardware is aids-ridden, google's hardware is not even the worst, probably by far not the worst. Btw assuming you're the guy from the samsung thread - in the past replicant devs found a modem-level backdoor in a samsung phone. And that's just what the found - it's a very small team and the number and complexity of devices is huge and ever growing, so you can safely assume EVERY device has something like that or worse.

looks like GrapheneOS has fixed this now by mirroring the files on their own servers. but I wonder why they do this all the time for every connection rather than say once per hour or once a week
also yes trusting GrapheneOS instead of Google is not without problems but there are degrees in hell

why do people on here argue over what to trust as if anything could possibly be trustworthy.
