They did not admit it. I don’t think anyone could have have proof they didn’t. Only the ridiculousness of their arguments.

Considering the bullshit spewed by them to justify their ban of pro-Luigi comments, claiming they consulted a lawyer, I doubt this ever happened.

People 18 and over are adults. I know the US somehow forbids adults from drinking but I don’t think more countries should dilute people’s rights.

Cue 5 forks launching, none of which is going to last the year (most of them a week).

Windows was already copyrighted and registered with the office before ai code was introduced.

The copyright office refusing to register the version with ai code does not affect the already registered copyright.

The version with ai code is a derivative product of the registered version so M$ will get you for copyright infringement.

Not considering this obvious context makes the Twitter poster completely unreliable.

There’s still copyrighted code in windows, so no this is bullshit.

Code contains a lot of elements that are not copyrightable (elementary maths etc), that does not prevent the overall program from being copyrighted.

Σαββατοκύριακο. Saturday and Sunday. It would be far weirder to start the week on Δευτέρα which literally meaning “second”.

Of course in English and other languages Monday does not mean second. Still for Mose western (plus Arabs) Monday has been second after Sunday. Long before Saturday was a day off.

ISO defining the start of the week as Monday due to it being the first business day (lol) has comparatively little impact.

Yeah, I should probably switch home instances again, it didn’t use to defed hexbear when I joined.

A huge minus of reddit was the heavy skew in politics to the right due to US influence.

I am obviously not going to switch away from Lemmy because there are communists here. That’s without knowing that piefed by default defederates communities for being communist.

So it’s not about all decks being the same.

Money, gambling is (even if obfuscated via tokens) about money.

Monopoly is not gambling because there is no (real) money involved. Uno is not gambling because there is no money involved.

Reactionary forks don’t have a great record of success (or even getting off the ground).

Somebody call an ambulance!!

thank you, i think i saw that somwhere before. is it really true that the haressment is made up? like i honestly dont know

The one making the claims should provide the evidence.

and does it really has an impact on the eco system? i never really thought abou it…

Yes, it pushes for a Google monopoly in hardware, it creates a false narrative that there is no difference in privacy and/or security between alternative Android versions and ones by vendors. This further entrenches Google’s control of Android as it limits the options for Android users.

And i guess fair point that this is a security flaw considering the phone users beeing targeted… But like i still kinda think hardware backed security is important and also very crucial is, that the more devices they supporty the less recourses they have… I think considering how long it is since pixel 10 released and it is still not supported, would make me guess that they dont have like any free time really to do it at all ^^

I do believe Google has taken decisions that forced them to look for a new OEM, I am not sure if does affect the Pixel 10.

No GrapheneOS is not just calling them out on lack of security.

It’s apparently from their discord, so it took me a while to find it again.

It’s not about the personality of it’s directors, it’s about it’s effect on the (alternative) Android ecosystem as a whole, which is not just about security but also privacy and user control.

Even with regards to security, their choice of limiting devices apparently makes their users targets for extra scrutiny and harassment. That does have actual implications for people whose threat model includes authorities unless they already are guaranteed to be targets.

I don’t need a phone, GrapheneOS needs one now that Google is trying to force them out. I wonder if their new phone will actually meet all the requirements, if it comes out.

As for complaining, GrapheneOS is the one bitching about other Android versions existing since forever. Now, they 've started making unsubstantiated claims of them attacking them somehow.

Yes, before Google made phone on it’s own they supported some Nexus devices (google-partnered) and the Samsung Galaxy S4.

No it’s not. This is a recent development that has not yet actually come to fruition. It may exist in 2026.

Before that GrapheneOS dismissed any idea of targeting other phones than the ones build by one of the most anti-privacy companies on earth, that seeks to consolidate control of Android.

In my opinion both the evident ego of of the project lead as well as his naivety (tethering the project to Google) are huge red flags despite any assumed technical superiority.

Existing, probably.
