Wait until you hear about the Alderney pound, Manx pound, Jersey pound, Guernsey pound, Falkland Islands pound, Gibraltar pound, Saint Helena pound, …

the edit history on Shehbaz Sharif’s tweet shows that it began with “Draft - Pakistan’s PM Message on X” when it was first posted 😭

anyone dry behind the ears knows to wash there

thanks, i edited the post to link that instead

You asked a question and answered it yourself?

I posted the 10 points according to one source and then said

There are many varied but similar versions of these points circulating elsewhere

I didn’t say that they should be thrown away?

Sorry that I interpreted your comment as suggesting that anything less than a Pixel is not worth trying to improve the security of.

What’s with the hostility?

No hostility intended. But I still don’t understand why you think that omitting Graphene’s Pixel-requiring hardening features would cause Graphite to be less secure than other Android distributions which also lack those features.

Are there any other options with a feature set comparable to GrapheneOS(-minus-pixel-only-hardening-features) ?

Should the world just throw away the billions of non-Pixel devices in use today?

And/or should everyone just give up on improving security at all for the vast majority of phone users who cannot afford Pixels, since they can’t ever be as secure as a Pixel?

see my other comment in this thread

those benefits rely on the Pixel’s hardware

Doesn’t GrapheneOS have a lot of benefits besides the 3 pixel-requiring hardening features which are removed in Graphite (and the 3 others which are disabled by default but can be re-enabled on some devices)?

I’m not disputing that those hardening features are worthwhile! Pixels with Graphene are obviously much more difficult to exploit than phones without those features.

But there are billions of non-Pixel phones in the world which aren’t about to be thrown away, and the vast majority of phone users absolutely cannot afford a Pixel. GraphiteOS (if it actually works?) seems to me like it is probably a major improvement over the other options available for them.

At that point I’d just use something like Lineage

My impression is that Graphene-without-the-features-requiring-Pixel-hardware would still be a much more secure operating system than Lineage (or the other options available).

Reading that FAQ I get the impression that it should/could run on a very large number of devices, but maybe there is some caveat I’m missing? 🤔

so that many non-pixel devices can have an OS with most of the benefits of GrapheneOS?

The US military takes enlistees at 17 and a half years old. Usually from poor families.

I believe the US lets people enlist at 17 (with parental consent) but they don’t deploy them to combat before they’re 18.

I encourage you to you watch this movie, btw.

You’re ignoring the fact your article also doesn’t provide source

Which article are you saying doesn’t provide a source? I see only two articles linked in this thread and they both refer to several sources 🤔

I am sincerely baffled as to what your perspective about this story is.

Do you believe that EU and US officials are spreading Russian propaganda via the Associated Press about Russia supplying drones to Iran (which, as you said earlier, you believe they do not in fact have the ability to manufacture) and therefore Russia’s denial is actually true but also part of their cunning plan to deceive us?

Or what?

Of course Russia denys it

But… just a few hours ago didn’t you deny it too? 🤔

(“No they aren’t” was your first comment in this thread)

No they aren’t, Russia wouldn’t have purchased thousands of Iranian drones if they could produce them domestically.

[…]

Russia put out propaganda

The original link in this post is to an article by the Associated Press (syndicated on a website owned by Bell Canada) and it cites “U.S. and European officials” as its primary source to support the claim made in the headline that Russia is supplying drones to Iran.

I’m curious: did you call this Russian propaganda after reading only the headline, without actually realizing who is saying what here?

Correct me if I’m wrong but I suspect that after you read the article and see that Russia in fact denies sending drones to Iran (and says the seven trucks they just sent have food and medical supplies) you’ll probably change your mind and decide that they probably are in fact sending drones.

for one thing, you’re in a country where this once happened 🤦

Race is a social construct and in the eyes of your friend’s racist dad you are apparently not white (even if he might have classified you as white if he had only your appearance to go by and hadn’t seen your name).
