I don't like irritating people I disagree with as a tactic, but sometimes a little friction helps to make a point.

Of course, the doofi may decide to try banning bicycles outright instead 🤦

Sorry, "google blobs"? A lot of work went into MicroG, and I think it's a shame that you'd minimize so much good work to reimplement the lynchpin of Google's control on your devices.

At this point I'll presume you're just misinformed, as no proprietary google code operates within microG unless you decide to run with device attestation, and there it's running as a sandboxed service. At any other time, you are able to run open source code which spoofs your device details to Google, and spoofs google to all these other closed source apps in a reliable and readable, much smaller codebase.

Honestly, the irony of running blobs, when one is completely closed source vs the other which is fully open. Hahaha.

Ah, I was hoping the actual device was a bit more compact and svelte.

Overly dramatic verbiage aside, I'm not seeing any discussion here, of utility anyway.

Good day.

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.

Cute and useless, as is customary for ya.

People are looking for clarity about all this, I used the word chafe on purpose.

Think about it.

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

Adding distracting points into the public discourse when people are seeking clarity doesn't seem like a noble goal.

What do you get out of it at the end, the ability to say "told you so"?

What if Kamala does step in due to the very real odds of a medical issue happening, then shall we start believing conspiracy theorists on other points?

My point remains the same, you're occluding understanding of the situation, both currently and in the future, and I don't like that.

Poor fella. Read my question again, but this time try to think about it.

Doubtful.

Then why parrot chafe into the conversation at all?

Phew, I ate a beyond burger earlier and I'm still cogent and coherent. Guess it's the corn syrup, just like my dad warned me.

😡

I'd like to know what you're taking so I never take it.

I've done this too, with conduit and wood. Protip, some bubble wrap at the contact points for material keeps from damaging the paint.

Sure, sounds correct. But in the mean time, at least get the checkout system working, we've gotta be pragmatic.

I wonder why it's been out so long? Definitely don't pay those ransomware asshats.

Pretty clever, and I like how organic it looks. Come to think of it, wasn't H.R. Giger also Swiss?

Guess they like those organic designs.
