The cultural left is against her for being very visibly transphobic (along other things). Additionally religious reactionaries historically don't like the fact her books are inspired by historical witchcraft practices, as pointed out in the meme.

To quote wikipedia's summery:

...Whited asserted in 2024 that Rowling's sometimes "flippant" and "simplistic understanding of gender identity" had permanently changed her "relationship not only with fans, readers, and scholars ... but also with her works themselves".

I enjoy being able to see and interact with other people in a bunch of different contexts who are like minded without being so similar it becomes an echo chamber.

I do miss all the world building sub's and projects on reddit, at this point I only keep my account to post in one community. Additionally r/dogelore and r/polandball are great, and it appears those subreddit are branching out to other platforms in response to reddit recent changes.

Interestingly the founder of the project seems to explicitly disagree with that article

Based on the community being quite succsessful so far despite being made by volunteers, I don't think they will.

Sneakernet is getting worse and worse these days, I'm learning the ancient art of astroprojecting into random people's rooms to consume media.

At the very least, you have adequately shown me that the developer is too unstable to be able to guarantee the OS remains secure. Next time I'll use Calyx OS since they are pretty much the sane anyway.

I do want to point out that:

No, he hates them because he was mocked deservedly by Tor devs

Technically the email you linked showed that he hated TOR beforehand, then the devs (rightly) mocked his reasoning, we were both right.

[by your logic] He should make it maximum compliant with governments and spying agencies

Please do not twist my words, though I understand once you assume someone is a bad actor you (quite understandably) give up. My point is that software should not be configured to break the law by default. Why would a user want something that breaks the law when first installed, when most users want to follow the law? Ideally software like this should have separate "legally compliment" and "freedom" branches but I argue having the first one is better then the second one in most cases.

All that being said, enjoy your day

is part of the Linux kernel

Saddly no it's not, its a component embedded by the compiler that can be separately installed to replace the programs default allocator implementation. Also I can't find a fork of android I know of that supports it.

If I understand you correctly, graphene OS is bad because:

  1. The developer is using his fans to market the software he helps make, resulting in more people using it.

Arguably that's a good thing as it at least makes people aware that other android forks exist, encouraging people to switch to one of the more private forks of android.

  1. The developer hates Mozilla and unfairly hates TOR because he sees them as Mozilla shills.

How does the developer having bad takes effect a piece of software? Firefox in mine and others experience, still works well on the device. Yes I am aware of his vanadium project, if he wants to waste time, power to him.

  1. By default the OS complies with government laws both defacto and official.

Why is that a bad thing, especially since it sounds like the alternative is breaking said laws? Yes there are often moral arguments against laws such as that, but the advantage of open source is that you can switch to something that gives you the freedom to break the law if you want.

The only thing you have shown me (which I already agreed with) is the lead developer (who is not the only one working on the project) is immature and paranoid, you have not showed why I should not use the software that he helped make, only that other forks support more hardware.

Thanks for being willing to discuss this stuff, I appreciate you are willing to take the time to write a detailed response.

 

Currently, when I try to load this instance I get cloudflare http status code 520 messages. Is the instance overloaded and how would I be able to see if it is?
