You are mistaking what I am saying. I have nothing against the project as whole and the mission is fantastic.

They just have zero PR skills, don’t know when to keep their mouth shut or how to communicate properly when they need to. A little bit of consultation would go a long way for them. Obviously I am not expecting Google levels of PR/marketing, but it’s not great to see just ranting Discord/matrix messages. If it wasn’t an issue, these posts wouldn’t exist at all.

GrapheneOS has always had a massive PR problem and crazy leadership unfortunately.

What is to upgrade? Smartphones/phablets were always going to reach a peak, where the innovations that can be made are small. Screens look amazing, cameras are incredible, it’s all at a point where phones do everything we want them to really well. Upgrades now are just iterative, battery improvements are welcome, improved camera sensors would be cool, but we dont need any of it, even faster SoCs, brighter or higher resolution screens are pointless now.

They can’t really do much more, we dont need thinner, they are worse. Folding could be a potential avenue, but it’s not there yet, they are far too fragile. There’s going to have to be some new breakthrough tech to make a lot of people buy new phones, until then, they will have to keep trying to sell AI and some other bullshit features.

Its because its used in schools, they learn it, they become reliant on it, its in their workplaces, at their home.

Its why Microsoft dont really care if you pirate Windows, the more people using it, the more reliant they are on it, then they cash in big time at the enterprise level. Same with Photoshop etc etc.

If we taught how to use Linux instead…

You are downvoted for your first part. Nobody is dog piling or being cultish, the person is just being a moron.

We know why they might be used, we just dont want video games demanding shit we dont actually need.

Not at all. PCs do and have functioned without, forever.

They certainly leave a lot to be desired, but AAA is just “had way too much fucking money to make/market this”.

Basically any multiplayer AAA slop recently.

You are missing the point entirely. This shit should not be required to play a fucking video game.

Yeah, it is just going to be filled with shortened down tiktok slop rather than anything it would have been in the past.

Made an AI video to try and justify their AI video yeah, fucked up.

Coca cola

Even worse is the video they made explaining it.

It’s not irrelevant at all. I can recognize most cars from a distance, the tesla design isn’t special. The sharp edges of a cybertuck are an aesthetic choice that effects the car overall, if you have to make your car so fucking dangerous to stand out, you did something very wrong.

Design affects and is affected by all factors, a car looking a certain way is not an irrelevant factor to anything else. If you are ignoring how they interact, then any cosmetics are irrelevant themselves as at that point you no longer have a car, but a shell.

They dont have a door handle for… aesthetics. The cybertruck is a dangerous piece of metal because of… aesthetics.

It’s all part of the overall design of the cars. So I’d say it’s pretty relevant.

Teslas are fucking shit cars made as cheaply as possible. People literally burn to death in them trying to find the door handle.

Yes, the CEO is a human piece of shit, but the cars shouldn’t be bought regardless.

In other news, firefighter learns to use hose to put out fires.

As much as Twitch needs gutting, Kick is much worse.

It makes no sense because it’s already incredibly easy to find something on Wikipedia and the first paragraph is always a summary. Humans are only going to get lazier and less intelligent thanks to AI.

The need to protect children from the many online harms is real, so its understandable that governments around the world, from the EU to Australia to Canada, are keen to follow the UK’s newly-enforced age verification law.

Uhh no Proton. The only thing that should be mandated is parental controls, then leave it up to the parents. All these age verification laws do is make the internet a more dangerous place for everyone, not just children.

But this isn’t about safety, it’s about state control. Don’t be complicit in that, Proton… you already have fucked your public image recently.
