For anyone who seems uninterested, ask if they’d like to be arrested for murder simply because they biked past a place every day.

For anyone looking for great talking points about this issue, I highly recommend “Taking Control of Your Personal Data” by prof. Jennifer Golbeck, published by The Teaching Company, ISBN:978-1629978390, likely available at your local library as a DVD or streaming.

Right.

And a football team doesn’t need a quarterback.

🤦🏼‍♂️

Yes, many of them are assholes, doesn’t change the need for the leadership.

Great writeup, I really appreciate it, especially the point about locking the bootloader and isolation - it’s all about the threat model of a user.

It’s annoying, frustrating, and most of all, disappointing that we get just noise between these projects, rather than mutual respect with clarification of the differences, and the different use-cases, for them. Instead we get adversarialism because some people think only their way is the right way (such as this post).

I run Lineage on a couple devices that can’t get any thing else. Some people on the Graphene side would (and have) chastised me for running an “insecure” rom. Well, I know my risks, and the value I get from this device, and I mitigate my risks through layered security (as all risks are) - I’m addressing my threat model.

The issue with the Graphene team is they have the stereotypical, arrogant, condescending attitude of tech people.

I’ve been that tech person at one time in my career, and got it trained out of me by good leadership decades ago.

The crap they’ve said, to me (not something I heard second hand), while asking for help was such a major turn off (and in my help desk career would’ve had them in for re-training), that I gave up on using Graphene. Their attitude was looking for ways to blame me instead of trying to determine why things were misbehaving.

What if I had a true, difficult issue later, this is what I’d have to deal with? I had dismissed the reports I’d read about the team, until I experienced it first hand.

So no thanks. Graphene is dead to me now…I will never… Let me repeat that NEVER use or recommend the system to anyone, unless the team changes. And that’s a damn shame, because I really wanted to use it on my phones going forward, and even bought Pixels specifically to use Graphene.

Even for a server, the UI should always be priority. If you’re not using the desktop/UI, what’s the harm?

When you do need to remote into a box, it’s often when shit’s already sideways, and having an unresponsive UI (or even a sluggish shell) gets old.

A person interacting with a system needs priority.

Even for a server, the UI should always get priority, because when you gotta remote in, most likely shit’s already going wrong.

I looked at storj.io a while back, prices seemed good.
