One of the main criteria to differentiate "rants" from "correcting falsehoods" is proper citing of sources. In the case of Grapheneos, unfortunately I often see very few sources in what they post online.

(But, if you ignore the rants, that's a fantastic OS.)


GrapheneOS has plenty of evidence and they post it alongside their claims. They post it carefully though, and are willing to provide it to people upon request.

How far down do you have to scroll on https://grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS to find a citation to a source for one of their claims?

At the time of writing, I scrolled 4 posts down and found one. GrapheneOS are security researchers, so they often are a first party source. As for the attacks, they have plenty of evidence for their claims. They avoid giving any attacks more publicity, but they usually provide evidence if you ask.

Please provide a link to this post you found, so I can tell which one you think is a citation to a source. If you want some examples of recent posts that should have a source but don't, here they are:

You have a point, but it is very ironic that this sounds a lot like the old argument "you must still learn to compute by hand because you won't have a calculator with you all the time".

As the OP discusses, the current state of the standard formally disallows it: the SI specifies that hertzes are only to be used for periodic phenomena, and becquerels only for radioactivity.

Excel still translates keywords in 2026.

I don't recommend tennis balls for a beginner: they bounce everywhere, and you'll spend most of your time chasing the balls rather than juggling. Cheap juggling balls are around 10$.

Learning to juggle way back lasts century, I learned to juggle using lacrosse balls. Very bouncy and and a little on the heavy side. Standing over a bed helps if you are using bouncy things (they still can cause havoc in a bedroom when they bounce off each other though).

One of the IJA (International Jugglers' Association) videos that most impressed me is : IJA Tricks of the Month by Zaila Avant-garde | Juggling Basketballs (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sH2E1m8Fseg). Not only does she manage the juggling but her parents let her do it indoors with all sorts of stuff around.


I actually learned contact juggling with a lacrosse ball, since its uniform color and texture make it hard to see the rotation of the ball. That way, you get the similar visual effect to a more expensive acrylic, but without the risk of chipping if you drop it while you’re still learning.

Amazing. Thanks for sharing!

If you do use tennis balls, stand in front of your couch so they land there and don't roll away.

Part of the motivation is to make sure you catch them and they don’t bounce away. Negative externalities aren’t always a bad thing.

This. Something like a hacky sack also works very well. They don’t roll away from you, and they won’t drive your neighbors nuts especially if someone lives below you when they hit the ground.

hacky sack the planet!

Why would only incompetent users expect something that "just works"?

Because they don't know (yet) that Linux just doesn't work.

Jolla had ties with Russian state companies, I wouldn't be surprised if they planted backdoors all over the place.

And in any case if you use Jolla without the Android emulation layer (so Google again), the app ecosystem is as barren as the Siberian wasteland.


This is still very mild opposition, the equivalent of a "strongly worded letter". What we should expect from a serious pope is excommunicating [1] those who start wars.

Writing prompt: On June 1, the ministry for defense stops issuing these permits. No one knows why, but wild speculation ensues.


In principle, one could train the AI to insert ads in its answers. So no, if you only do inference locally with an open-weight model you are still not in control.


I think ads can be removed with abliteration, just like refusals in "uncensored" versions. Find the "ad vector" across activations and cancel it.
