I mean, canonical is British. Even if that not currently within the EU, that’s still somewhat European.
But yeah, Ubuntu Phone would be a great base. Have the EU pump a few millions into it and regulate that OEMs have to support free OSs and we’re off to the races
Of course they do, especially compared to stock android. I would run it if they supported my phone.
I am not saying Graphen is bad or anything like that. Its just build on a shaky foundation. But if you have a phone that supports it, it’s a great alternative to stock
but I don’t actually know.
You keep saying this and then repeat the same argument.
GraphenOS is entirely reliant on the devs at Google, because they update the device tree, drivers and patch security issues. If Google stopped doing that tomorrow, Graphen is fucked. They would be stuck on whatever driver they had last with all the issues that one brings.
The “only” thing Graphen adds is additional hardening and some customization and sandboxing code.
I just looked up this ubuntu
Lol, this ubuntu. Not knowing one of the, if not the single most well known Linux distro is already telling enough.
From what I skimmed it’s not hardened, and 10 years behind graphene, but I don’t actually know.
It’s not “behind” GraphenOS, it’s something entirely different. And the hardening is what money could be poured into, along with the other issues it still has. Still, none of these issues is being owned by Google.
The issue is not what specific vendor produces the OS, but that it should not be based upon something that Google controls. If Google stops publishing the code for the Pixel tree, GraphenOS is fucked. They already had great issues when Google stopped using a public repo and only published updates on a quarterly basis
Google didnt fork Android, they own it. It’s also not really open source anymore since the aosp codebase is only updated every few months and doesn’t accept contributions.
I would not build something new from that. I would rather pour money into fixing the few issues with Ubuntu mobile or something similar and be rid LF Google
I was under the impression this was satire
I would rather have an actual alternative instead of something that still depends on the whims of Google. Also this would not help in untying the current hard coupling between hardware and software
The idea is that it would force vendors to easily let users install other OSs and app providers to not only allow android and ios
They might have to increase it later, but the batches they already have are of a known price. This just looks like they want to see how much ram prices soar so they can see how much they can ask for the thing
Definitely, Especially the Frame.
That’s exactly what they’ll use it for. We so desperately need a european alternative to android and ios, something that actually respects your data
Still suspicious that they won’t even settle for a price range. Summer is almost here, so they have to have them made already. At this point I’m certain it’s going to be 4 digits and not even barely
seeing as it’s about bikes, probably the noise
Even if there was no other person involved. Making trains self driving makes way more sense and is way more achievable than hoping to automate chaotic road behavior
Great story. Sure hope Milo and George still have a lot of time together
I always loved catastrophe movies. Deep Impact, Armageddon, Volcano, Dantes Peak…
Wish there were more that weren’t absolute trash
The crowd that claims that setting up an elaborate VPN scheme is fine has a problem entering an IP range?
Have you looked at Verge? They are hub driven, electric and habe recently released (jury is still out on that one) the first bike with a solid state battery, offering a couple hundred kilometers of range
Of course it is. That’s literally what it is made for
12 years since the last one?! That can’t be right,…
Anyway, I’m super stoked for this. The first one was amazing and I hope this one will be even better
