That’s a really nice source.

And how do you finance the high and long lasting firmware maintenance required by Graphene OS, to stay secure?

This first step in the collaboration is not about long lasting firmware maintenance, it’s about getting device manufacturer and software developer to talk with each other at all.

Financing security stuff is easy, you cut parts and features until simple and secure parts remain, then you don’t update the hardware and do long term quality control, bug fixing and pen tests.

Plus mass production.

The way you DONT do it, is price yourself out of all demographics that care about it being a different OS. “High-end don’t care” is covered by Apple.

man face when

In case you’re serious, Lemmy is the hot, exciting, punk, rebel version of reddit and Linux is the hot, exciting, punk, rebel version of using your computer. The motivation for using either are quite similar.

Anything.

Could be an unfortunate freak accident that disables the electricity grid.

Could be that all trees around your home all fall down and block the roads so you can’t get to the store.

Could be that you break your leg and can’t go to the store to get food or water for 10 days.

Could be flooding, could be drought, could be wildfires, could be a reversal of earths magnetic field or a solar storm that destroys all electronics and throws us back to the stone age.

3-10 days is the realm of “something could happen that meaningfully disrupts the general supply chain”. and also still reasonable to expect of people. Like, they’re not going to ask you to stock up 6 months worth of water and food in a 50m² apartment. That’s not going to happen. Too expensive, don’t have the room. And they’re also not going to ask you to stock one (1) cookie for an emergency in case you get hungry tomorrow afternoon.

And also, if the problem is so huge that the government, military and NGO people can’t fix it in 10 days, that’s a pretty damn big problem and it could be that stocking up from 1 month doesn’t help much more than 10 days, because they can only solve it in 5 years.

3-10 days also buys time to figure out evacuation without having to think about literally the next meal.

Oh yeah, I mean my own personal solar modules in my backyard. I agree it’s not that easy to say “solar exists, checkmate doubters”, that would be silly.

If LLMs can’t be made more power efficient, then the technology isn’t ready yet for general use.

Hm, I don’t see the harm in powering local models with solar.

Hey, if you could make a 5-30 minute video of just gameplay showing off some systems, going through a few levels to see what the gameplay is like, that would really help.

I’m excited for innovation in the genre but I’d like to see some “real substance” before signing up for a test.
