Is Termux an operating system by itself?

Yes. Space exploration pushes science and technology forward, which benefits humanity as a whole.

Nobody takes Reza Pahlavi seriously. We should stop talking about this clown.

I do not think there will be a year of the Linux Desktop. Linux usage will slowly climb up over time. At some point people will realize that Linux is the dominant desktop system. But it won’t be a discrete point in time.

The issues are not GOS specific. I am saying that GOS is selling snake oil, not real security.

I’m not moving goalposts. If you care about security, then you should also care about not making money for Google.

Robust and trustworthy hardware does not matter if the apps you need for daily life (like banking or public transportation) are so integrated with Google’s ecosystem that they leak everything.

Breaking Google’s hold over Android is the most important security topic of all time. Everything else is secondary. GrapheneOS is not real security.

There are no Google services installed by Graphene, you have the option of running Google services if you choose, but even if you choose to do so they are kept in a sandbox and not given privileged information on the system.

Using Google hardware results in financial gain for Google, which is one of the worst companies out there for privacy and security. I do not like that GrapheneOS is working to propagate Google’s monopoly.

Hardware security guarantees are irrelevant for most people, including myself. A very small segment of the popularion needs them.

What matters infinitely more is who has access to your data. And Google is one of the worst offenders.

Google is the exact opposite of privacy and security.

I find it very dishonest that GrapheneOS was advertising itself as the secure option while tying itself so closely to Google.

I have a huge problem with GrapheneOS: they rely too much on Google hardware. That is why I never used Graphene and probably never will.

Israel looked at the Nazis for inspiration and as an example to follow.

I wouldn’t say it is irrelevant when there is a worldwide push towards authoritarianism and countless examples of unreasonable search and seizure.

Hardware security is irrelevant for that. As it is irrelevant for most other things.

Authoritarian governments are not going to bother with hacking you. They will just force you to unlock your devices or go to jail for obstruction of justice.

Real security starts with de-Googling, de-Facebooking,… etc

Yes and no. Oil market used to be very global. But all these sanctions, embargoes and blockades are making it less so.
