FYI Thorium is updated once every 3 months or so. Not exactly the safest thing in the world.

Man I love this kind of "evidence" that can't be dismissed, that is ultimately just a big "just trust me bro".

Some would argue that's the same thing these days.

Just a few years ago this was about to change in Sweden.

But they didn't change it, because "women should be able to look up the men that they date".

A theory is that it just might have something to do with the shootings and bombings. Just a thought.

Indeed. What would they do if he refused? Would they cancel his account over tracking pixels?

Said E2EE is mobile only and completely unavailable in group chats

Yes. Let's switch to an app with Russian connections that has actively refused to implement E2EE for over a decade now.

And with Europe you mean a single country, Spain?

Most if not all of their attacks are inexcusable. Calling a competing OS, CalyxOS, nazi sympathizers is unacceptable and when I first read that I started seeing the red flags.

Nothing is open about GrapheneOS aside from the source code. We officially know nothing about the leadership, their current plans, what their finances look like or even who this new mysterious OEM is.

It's weird.

The average person is literally never encountering malware on either platform.

Why would they want goodwill when they can run propaganda campaigns against this instead?

I don't see how LLMs could pump stuff like this out anytime soon. Especially when you'll have defensive LLMs around that time.

If anything else, this just shows that we need more layered security for everything, even the ancient parts of the OS.

> They should be investing like crazy to make Safari the best browser out there instead of just relying on their monopole. And why the fuck is there no Windows version to make their iOS users happy?

Simple. Apple doesn't want you to use Windows. They want you to buy an expensive Apple computer instead.
