Why team up with a hardware manufacturer that is forced to comply with both the American Security Chip Act and the American Cloud Act?

I thought GrapheneOS was all about privacy and non compliance with Big Tech?


a hardware manufacturer that is forced to comply with both the American Security Chip Act and the American Cloud Act

are google's pixel phones not subject to that?


Would be interesting indeed to hear what the implications of what you bring up are. Anyone knowing enough to speculate?

I can't find an alternative to Terminator, being able to drag and drop panels to create layouts is such a strong workflow that it's very hard to give up

I did give Ghostty a try, the turn off was Adwaita, the tablet UI for the tabs and context menu.. i just can't


We are not allowed to be compassionate with you or speak against Israel, US and UK, otherwise we'll get banned

The UK has nothing to do with that shit.

Not everyone speaks English natively—most have relied on Google Translate in the past, and now they turn to AI tools. There's nothing wrong with that, provided they're using these tools to express their own thoughts rather than for spam or botting.

^ And that's what i just did


Treating this as a neutral ground truth is a recipe for data poisoning

D is a treasure we should continue to cherish and protect

A language with sane Compile Time features (Type Introspection, CTFE, mixins, etc)

A language that can embrace C ecosystem with sane diagnostics

A language that ships with its own optimizing code generator and inline assembler!

A compiler that compiles code VERY fast

A compiler with a readable source code that bootstraps itself in just 5 seconds

People who dunk on it "bEcAuSe iT Is nOt MaInsTrEaM" are clueless


You like me for my (always right) conspiratorial takes

I got another one:

Look, follow the money, Microsoft knows Windows 11 on handhelds is a dumpster fire right now, and they are not ready to drop their own "Xbox Portable" yet

So how do they keep the market from moving to the alternative SteamOS/Valve?

They trojan horse the "alternative"

Think about it: Bazzite pops up, gains massive community "trust", every traditionally pro-MSFT media talk about it, and then coincidentally becomes the loudest voice trashing GPD's HW support, why would they do that?

It's a classic Embrace, Extend, Extinguish play

FUD: Use Bazzite as an "undercover" $MSFT project to make GPD look like a risky, unoptimized mess

Damage: GPD takes the hit because they are actually trying to innovate, while the "community" devs (who are definitely on a $MSFT gang) tell everyone to just buy an Rog Ally ($MSFT Partner) or wait for the next Microsoft Xbox handheld

Pivot: Once GPD is sidelined as a "niche hobbyist risk", Microsoft drops a polished Handheld UX for Windows, Bazzite magically "loses funding" or support, and everyone gets funneled back into the Game Pass ecosystem on "approved" hardware

Bazzite isn't a "community project", it's a trojan hose

GPD bet on the wrong horse thinking that community was neutral


Convoluted, but hypothetically possible. We have no reason to think that right now, though…


not undercover, kyle is microsoft employee based on his github bio.

also if you wanna support linux on gaming, just buy hardware that support steamos like steamdeck, steam machine, steam frame, legion go s, rog ally.


Replacing merit with social signaling.. ..sigh..

The enshitification of GitHub continues
