I run a degoogled Samsung, keep all my banking apps in a work profile. Ive been seeing a lot of people have issues with Graphene and banking apps, but wouldn't the work profile function on there too? Could you install the Google Play Services on the work profile and run it separately to your main phone?

The problem is the device attestation. See https://grapheneos.org/articles/attestation-compatibility-gu... for details.

I would think it's very much important to point out the double standard, it's an ally of the west so it's fine if they do it, but not if china does it because they are the "enemy". That's all what the comment you accused of antisemitism was doing.
ibotty · 23 days ago
Well, double standard is of course a thing (like accusing the only democracy for not being democratic enough without saying anything about much more oppressive regimes around; but also about surveillance in one place and also another). I think it is to make a different point though.

This funding from the US was to get around surveillance (everywhere), so it makes sense to argue, that a rival global player exports surveillance tech, because the funded tech is to counter that. That argument would not work with Israeli surveillance tech.

I would point to the opposite bias, the guardian mentions Chinese surveillance tech exported to Africa, but makes no mention of Israeli spyware exports. The Israeli export of civil repression technology, expertise and training is actually very well documented, having a lot of practice with such oppression domestically.

As if the guardian was overly pro-Israeli. I would argue that it makes more sense in that context to mention Chinese surveillance tech, because it's not an ally of the US.

Really important to first, pick that example of content moderation and then point out that he's an Israeli. Maybe think about why you used that example when there are countless others regarding free speech/internet freedom.

Oh, Linux on mobile. My cynic take:

- only works with very few phone models

- battery doesn’t last long

- bad UI with tiny elements.

- not managing a smooth refresh rate

- no apps

That‘s the pattern we‘ve seen over and over again. The only approach that has worked better is to base things on AOSP.

ibotty · a month ago
Very unhelpful comment. Some people don't want to run on anything AOSP. Being able to manage the device with standard linux tooling is a major plus for some people.

I'm not worried about expensive copies. I'm worried about being able to understand my systems code. The solution isn't adding more abstractions (like move semantics on top). I don't want to move anything. I want to be clear about taking a reference or making an actual copy, these are deeply, semantically, different. This difference is important for single threaded code but also for concurrency -- not only with mutable data types but also with immutable ones.

Performance is mostly a consequence of clear and direct code. You mostly don't achieve performance by saving individual copies, but by being in control of the code and architecture.

I don't think your run often into these things, because of Rust's ownership enforcement. But I might be misunderstanding you, because it's all pretty abstract and I might not have the whole context.
ibotty commented on The state of the kernel Rust experiment   lwn.net/SubscriberLink/10... · Posted by u/dochtman
ibotty · 3 months ago
There is relatively little Rust in the kernel, but there are even less Rust CVEs. In this cycle alone there were 160 CVEs, one in Rust. The first one! The amount of rust is way less than 1/160 and even that statistic is off, because one should count all CVEs.
ibotty commented on Ion: Modern System Shell in Rust   github.com/redox-os/ion... · Posted by u/nateb2022
laserbeam · 4 months ago
I’d like to see a real shell script written in ion very early in the readme or manual. Something that wgets a tarbal, extracts some part if the filename, checks cpu usage, draws a simple progress bar to the terminal, checks a folder for old files, some script that implements prompt completions for some cli tool…

I really don’t care that a new shell is written in rust. I care to see examples of how it actually would be better than bash.

But I assume it's for redox, so you can't use it on a regular linux.

I know this is for a non-technical admin, but I just wanted to give Zola [0] a shoutout.

I love the single binary approach, and it being so simple. Got my blog up and running in minutes with absolutely minimal configuration. Helps me focus on the writing rather than tinkering with the tool I think this coupled with Keystatic [1] could be a nifty little lightweight setup for most.
