What gets me is the “this phone cant be trusted” message on boot. Implying OEM roms are trustworthy, but nothing i choose or create could possibly be.

I’m convinced that Linux’ mere presence has already stymied the development of the worst possible technocractic nightmare. I shudder to think of the thick tech-chains that would bind us if there was not an anchor/reference point… or if there was not even the small contingent that knows what it is like to use a liberating platform.
When you stare into the AI, the AI stares back at you.
It’s just Diablo… the new fully-immersive experience.
True for digital goods THEY are supposed to own, but also consider how dominated we are with OUR digital property. I have witnessed how readily tech giants will abuse their position, abuse the power of defaults, weaponize psychology, and feign deletion… even against my lowly grandma. They think nothing of effectively stealing one’s digital photos, using them for their own purposes, and giving them to the police, so they can destroy your life and your dog.
Sounds ripe for a legal challenge, but neo-ownership of digital-goods is already so fragile.
Yeah! Just like water’s “wetness” problem. It’s kinda fundamental to how the tech operates.
This seems to be a pattern. Govts flex over tech companies, techs blackout a country instead of complying, repeat.
You might be obligated to call it a “hell-hound”, though…
Kinda makes one not want to become dependant on google products.
I think that might make for interesting tv… one or more of the characters have dialog and action written by ai, and they have to deduce which are machines.
I think a pinenote might be a better jumping-off point in the project space.
Darth Vader would be proud…
Meanwhile, physical media is on the decline.
Which leads to the obvious question: how long has the military been able to do this?
I’m not sure, actually. If they do have DRM issues, I imagine it would be precisely the same issue as (and therefor would have the same workarounds as) any other custom android rom… which probably involves some shady APKs & instructions from XDA forums.
Perhaps more important is to have devices start or fall open… if the OEM has lost interest in it, let others support the device. Make ewaste valuable and avoidable.
