- Comment on GrapheneOS refuses to comply with new age verification laws for operating systems — group says it will never require personal information 1 week ago:
I’m hoping they already had the discussion with Motorola about it. I’m assuming Motorola wouldn’t be on the hook legally since Graphene is the OS provider. I could be wrong though.

They have reached a deal with Motorola, so hopefully there will be more options soon. You can get we used pixels pretty cheap though, and the installation process is very easy.
- Comment on Not looking for how to meth. But is not a moonshiners still about as dangerous as a meth house exploding? What the difference? 2 weeks ago:
This is why firefighters typically work to protect surrounding structures, but let the meth lab burn. That is, if it is already known to be a meth lab. Between the toxic chemicals and the difficulty of dealing with various chemical fires it is safer to just let it burn itself out if possible.

I was referring to their packer. Some are silicone, some are a blend, some are made of other things.
- Comment on human ingenuity knows no bounds 2 weeks ago:
I doubt it was silicone in that case. The melting point for silicone is like 1000 F.
- Comment on Asus Co-CEO: MacBook Neo Is a 'Shock' to the PC Industry 3 weeks ago:
Under 1GB on a modern build is pretty light. I run CachyOS and I’m pretty sure I idle at significantly more than that. Though I honestly haven’t checked, and don’t really want to close everything out to find out haha. I do know I’m currently using more than 8GB and not doing anything super heavy, but I do have multiple programs running. And multitasking is always going to be a killer for a system with low RAM limits. There is a reason my laptop has 32 and my desktop has 64.
- Comment on Asus Co-CEO: MacBook Neo Is a 'Shock' to the PC Industry 3 weeks ago:
I know it was lighter than windows the last time I used Mac, but that has been quite a few years now. Hopefully it is a decent machine. Computing just keeps getting more expensive, so having more budget options is definitely good as long as they are reasonably functional.
- Comment on Asus Co-CEO: MacBook Neo Is a 'Shock' to the PC Industry 3 weeks ago:
My phone has more RAM than that. I can’t imagine running a computer with that little memory considering how poorly optimized software tends to be at this point.
I’m not sure what the overhead for Mac OS is, but that has to be basically rock bottom to be even considered functional unless you’re running one of the lighter Linux builds.
- Comment on YouTube ads are about to get even longer and they’ll be unskippable 3 weeks ago:
Also changed how ads are served so they wouldn’t be a known security issue. Intrusive or not I will block all of them until security improves.
- Comment on New York Bill Would Force Age ID Checks at the Device Level 3 weeks ago:
I don’t know if you’re intentionally misunderstanding what I am saying or what, but I’m not saying age verification is needed. I’m saying that for their age verification plan to function, there would need to be a verifying authority and identifying information would need to be passed from your device to them.
My first comment should have made it very clear that all of this is baseless garbage designed to further state surveillance goals.
- Comment on Firearm Advice 3 weeks ago:
So I know this is a shitpost, but a pelvic shot is taught by some militaries as part of an alternative failure drill (two shots to the chest, followed by one to the head if they continue to be a threat). Its a larger target than a headshot requires, and is rarely protected by armor. Plus of you miss the shot is more likely to hit the ground instead of continuing flight well beyond whoever you were shooting at.
So shitpost or not, its not the worst place to shoot.
- Comment on New York Bill Would Force Age ID Checks at the Device Level 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, it would be like having a giant version of your ID projected over your head all the time. And someone following you around recording everywhere you go and everything you do.
- Comment on New York Bill Would Force Age ID Checks at the Device Level 3 weeks ago:
Well to build a universal ID system, we would have to give everyone a unique digital ID that is then associated with their device. So even if it’s claimed it would only be used to verify age where required, its trivial to then use that unique ID to track other device activity and tie it to your real identity.
There has already been examples of law enforcement using cellphone tower data, commercial ad IDs, social media posts, and anything else they can get to track and locate people without warrants or legal justification. So this would just be another way to tie digital activity to your real identity.
- Comment on New York Bill Would Force Age ID Checks at the Device Level 3 weeks ago:
Oh, I wasn’t trying to be argumentative. I was just trying to answer that at the fundamental level there has to be someone trusted to verify your info, so the data can’t just stay on your device. Unless they just trust the user to state their own age which would defeat the purpose of the law.
The rest was mostly just because I’m so sick of the bullshit and I didn’t feel like making a separate comment in addition to replying to you. Sorry if I came off as hostile to you.
- Comment on New York Bill Would Force Age ID Checks at the Device Level 3 weeks ago:
How are you verifying the age at the device level? Unless it allows you just say your age, then it will require sending personal information to some ‘verifying authority’. Every age verification push is just an expansion of the surveillance state.
Anything the state does to ‘protect kids’ is bullshit until they ensure every child has food, medical care, proper education, housing, etc.

- Comment on Can Mac apps be emulated and run on Windows? 5 months ago:
WSL is the windows subsystem for Linux. It lets you run Ubuntu terminal in Windows. So it would ultimately be running on windows. Though that feels like it would be more comex than running a macOS VM.

GrapheneOS does allow you to turn it off. It has a permission switch for your phone sensors. I don’t know if there are other versions of android that allow the same.
