Graphene OS

Graphene is by far the best. I highly recommend it.

Right now you need a Pixel to run it but soon you can get a Motorola that works with it.

It’s supposed to, but your experience has also been mine for some reason.

There’s almost zero reason to choose C for any greenfield project. C / C++ have been plagued with extremely serious problems throughout history because they are not memory safe. The world needs to move on from memory unsafe languages whenever it can.

Choosing C for something like this would be idiotic.

We really need a VaultWarden service run by a non-profit.

They said VaultWarden, not BitWarden. This shouldn’t affect them.

how is it way less convenient? I switched from Proton to other services and I conveniency has increased since quality of services has increased. and because I don’t really see many fundamental benefits of them being tied together.

That amount of money is one developer full time maybe

$564,000 / year??? I’d think definitely two, maybe three.

1. Macro syntax technically isn’t even Rust
2. This is definitely not average Rust code.

Hard disagree. Super beautiful.

Yep, we disagree. The world and technology especially is an extremely complicated place. IMO any complex system that is built upon “humans should just know all this complexity and keep it in mind all the time” is fundamentally broken.

I think you’re saying the same thing as what I am. If it’s more complex than what you may think, the language should guard against it. If not, it should make it simple.

Rust, for example, is the only mainstream language where it isn’t possible to read from a file handle after it’s been closed. Doing so is a compilation failure. This is just a general invariant of “how to use files”.

But you also don’t need to think about allocating or deallocating memory in Rust. It does that fke you automatically, even though it’s not GC.

JS can also be complicated when it tries to hide realities about the world. E.g. is a const array or object immutable? No, the pointer is. But pointers don’t exist! /s

I mean, this is correct in many cases, unironically.

It should be one of the core purposes of a programming language to help humans to write the code they intend. If a language doesnt do that then it’s bad.

No worries! Yeah I agree.

You’re right, but the concern is still valid.

IDGAF who funds it or who develops it.

• E2E encrypted
• security review by independent party I trust which says there are no holes or bugs
• open source

Those three things are all that matters.

Ecosia is building a custom search engine index, ETA summer 2025

Instances are stores (think Amazon or Etsy). Products are posts. Sellers are users.

Stores aren’t protected from being defederated. You can still search Google or whatever, still visit the site and buy stuff. It just will not be a unified search, just like how anything else works with ActivityPub.

The good stores would be run by admins who don’t have an incentive to defederate from others. Stores don’t make money or take a cut from sellers anyway. The sellers aren’t in charge of the instance, just like an Etsy seller can’t do anything about the fact that they have competitors on Etsy.

The need for decentralization is that the store / Amazon / Etsy is broken up but the search and interactions, reviews, etc. are unified.
