…has a message for protesters in Brevard County…

You mean the “kill” message is for protesters who:

…throw a brick, a firebomb, or point a gun at one of our deputies…

Gay Breakfast is a legendary name.

Most entry points are through various other ways…

With encryption, the data is changed so that only the key could decrypt it. If there are no encryption backdoors, then the key is the only end goal of attack. Compared to a physical lock, where, even if the lock was perfect, you still need to secure the structure it locks.

Most entry points are through various other ways, which is also why i find GrapheneOS for the average user stupid.

I still appreciate defense against the less common. Easier to focus on the more common.

Just because stuff is sandboxed and you have some Ad-Blockers on, doesn’t mean shit these days.

Sandboxing and Ad-blockers are quite different. One gives restricted permissions, so a program has less tools to be able to cause harm, and less visibility into the system to violate privacy. Ad blockers need only to stop an ad from displaying. The security and privacy gain would likely only come from stopping you from clicking them (since they’re blocked), or stopping the resources from being networked to in the first place.

Sandboxing I would consider much better for security and privacy. That’s why its a valuable tool for security researchers.

They support 3 devices under the “main” branch.

I’ve used quite a lot of software in a “community” repo. It can certainly work. Will of course depend on the device you are using.

some will never see further updates after getting them to work once.

For it to be in community, their wiki states in needs to be actively maintained. Granted, I’m sure there is a window of time before something goes back to “testing” or “archived”

…binary blob for as driver and not the source code.

Just as I want free firmware in the desktop, laptop, and server Linux space, I hope we can move toward that in the mobile space as well.

…won’t meet the security requirements of the Graphene OS team.

I’m sure it doesn’t. I’ve read their statements on such things. Simply change the requirements.

There is a fairly all-or-nothing-security group of people within the GrapheneOS community. They will defend using a Google device on the claim of enhanced security.

Security is nice, but I’ll take a hit to security if it means I get to support the growth of an ecosystem that respects the user.

…for the entire hardware…

Referring to Pixel hardware? I also don’t think they should be building on top of Pixels.

…would take years until you have an even halfway working device.

PostmarketOS seems to support many devices. So its doable. I would prioritize something like the Pinephone though.

frankly i just laugh at the concept of safe and secure, anyone who seriously wants into your device will get into it.

This is paranoia.

it’s the same as physical locks.

Encryption works very differently. A user can encrypt a machine with an Argon2id password that requires 1GB of ram per parallel attempt, requires an average of 1s per attempt, and would take every computer on earth billions of years for a 0.1% chance to crack it if they all worked in parallel.

It’s not even close to as insecure as a physical lock.

…if the US government wants into your phone they will get into it eventually.

The US government doesn’t have magic word to break into every device. That is paranoia, unless you’re talking about “if given an infinite amount of time…”.

Should’ve built upon straight Linux rather than Android.

Malware would explicitly have to be executing a terminal for a window to popup. They can just call a shell directly.

The solution is to have stronger privacy laws.

Many people have the power to make certain privacy attacks impossible right now. I consider making that change better for those people than adding a law which can’t stop the behavior, but just adds a negative incentive.

I wouldn’t wait around for the law to prosecute MITM attacks, I would use end to end encryption.

Choosing an esoteric system for yourself is a good way for a free people to protect their privacy, but it won’t scale.

If this is referencing using a barely-used system as a privacy or security protection, then I would regard that as bad protection.

Everyone using GrapheneOS would be a net security upgrade. All the protections in place wouldn’t just fade away now that Facebook wants to spy on that OS. They’re still in place; Facebook’s job is still harder than it otherwise would be.

1. What graphics card are you using?
2. What is the output of lspci -nnk | grep "Kernel driver in use"
3. What desktop environment?
4. What filesystems for your root drive and mounted drive?
5. Is your mounted drive able to be read, written to, and have programs run on it by your regular user account?

Try setting PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command% as the game launch options for a few different games and launch them.

Try different versions of proton. Also try changing the version of steam to the flatpak version, or to the native version if you are already using flatpak.

Take the whole log and put it a pastebin like pastebin.com. Then reply with the link.

I would look at the proton log of a game that doesn’t work.

How do I create logs of a game I run with Proton?

Proton will create a log file for a particular game, if you set the launch parameter to:

PROTON_LOG=1 %command%

The log file will be created in your home folder with the name scheme steam-$STEAMID.log. For example:

$HOME/steam-379720.log
