1·8 days agoIf they targeted NixOS, they could at least fix their build system which is a woven mess of undeclared and implicit dependencies. Most likely due to the programming language it’s written in, but it is a mess nonetheless.
Regarding the software, the entire operating system will be open source, and all LiberuxOS developments will be published. The installed software will also be open source.
This is what makes me distrustful. Will? Just publish what you have. Start open, not “eventually open”. What if they decide “nah, we actually don’t want to opensource it”? Then that money donated towards an opensource phone is down the drain or just into some grifter’s pockets.
Are you even reading the entirety of my responses? It seems like you’re reading one small bit, ignoring the context, focusing on that and making non-sequitur arguments. If you want to debate your strawman, do it without me.
No, they are not. Not every country requires KYC to get a SIM card. They can be purchased in many places with cash, sometimes even with default generic credentials.
Also if you add the space of emails to the space of phone numbers, it increases the space of possible sources for account creation, which logically dilutes the space.
And just to remind you, the article is about creating accounts required to use mobile phones with Google accounts. Making it possible to use your Google phone with just your phone number instead of requiring an additional email makes it specifically less identifiable.
Adding more options to be less identifiable is “worse”. I completely see your logic 👍
Phoronix commentors hate you for that comment.
Or it’s on purpose to force the purchase of new hardware.
Better doesn’t mean good. Don’t mix them up.

She was played. Now it’s time to say “fuck it” and continue as normal. The system was rigged from the start.
It might be best to ask on Mastodon or something to hear from people living in Qatar and other Gulf states. I don’t speak Arabic nor do I know any Arabs from the Gulf. That area has always been opaque to me.
Wait, so you can create a google account just with a phone number now in the EU? It’s a step forward, but still… requiring Google service and Google accounts to use government apps is still crap.
Crowdbucks sounds interesting, but is extremely light on details. How does it work? Are all payments going to go through Stripe? Is it going to support GnuTaler? Crypto maybe? Is it to be integrated into things like Mastodon, Peertube, and other fediverse services?
I thought this was going to be a somewhat detailed post with some news from an official source, but it’s just StatsCounter pages showing increased Linux use. It’s great to know that Qatar is using Linux more, more power to them, however I really was hoping it was due to an official change in course of the governments in the Gulf states… Maybe it’s driven by Israel committing genocide on fellow Arabs and Microsoft providing the technical assistance to do so?
Where was this posted?

Stop listening to what other people say, just go & see for yourself.
I’m speaking from experience. Read my other responses to understand that it’s not the technical feedback or whatever that I have trouble with. The GrapheneOS community inserts itself into every discussion about ROMs possible.
Someone brings up LineageOS for a OnePlus phone? Get a pixel and flash GrapheneOS. Someone brings up CalyxOS for a no pixel phone? Buy a pixel and flash GrapheneOS! So you bought a Volla phone with VollaOS? Wrong! You should’ve given Google your money for the most secure phone in the planet and flashed GrapheneOS! Oh, you don’t have enough money for a new phone? Stop being poor and sell your assets because the TLAs are after you and your life is worthless without a Pixel and GrapheneOS! You think the pyramid of needs starts with food and physical safety? Guess what! That’d wrong again, because it starts with digital safety and that means GrapheneOS!
It feels even worse than the damn “Arch BTW” people, because we know it’s a goddamn meme but the GrapheneOS people are serious. It’s as if GrapheneOS is a status symbol that makes them levitate above the rest of us lowly LineageOS, CalyxOS, eOS, VollaOS, custom ROM plebs. As if GrapheneOS is the final stage of enlightenment that Buddha reached before he flashed his Pixel and ascended.
That’s what the OP was talking about and I am too.
Tuta also locks you down with their lack of IMAP support. You can only use their client. At least Proton has a bridge and allows you to use your own GPG key.
