Yes, because scale is not the same as redundancy.

Scale, they need worldwide coverage.

That might be true, I don’t know much about GrapheneOS. But I do know that users of open source projects expecting changes to come out of thin air, and filing bugs when they don’t, is hurting the volunteers behind open source projects. So we should all make sure to volunteer some of our own time or money to keep the projects we love going, instead of just expecting them to fix the things we dislike.

Theoretically it might be, but it’s another patch you’ll have to maintain

But if Graphene chooses not to do this, they diverge from the Android project. Which will take more time to maintain the project which will ultimately lead to more developers burning out and dropping out of the project.

It doesn’t need to be affected, but most open source projects don’t have the resources to keep going against big companies when most of their users aren’t contributing.

It Takes Two is great!

It was already a pretty attractive target because of servers for everything. I’m not sure reaching 5% desktop market share will really make it more attractive for malware.

I’m not the developer, but I do also write app backends for a living so I know there is some nuance that you’re skipping over in your response. But if you have a way to do this completely anonymous on android I’d suggest offering help to the developer who made this.

Something that… links it to the device? Like, a unique ID that Apple can identify?

APNS tokens are linked to the app install and renew on a certain timeline. Already making them not exactly the same as a device identifier.

Edited for further clarification. It’s not about Google, it’s about what Android needs to receive notifications: https://www.iceblock.app/android

Apple notification identifiers are unique to an app install and regularly change though, so it’s hardly a device identifier.

And the developer needs a device ID for that. Which is their objection: https://www.iceblock.app/android

Thanks, but I’m not the developer of the app so that’s not really relevant for me.

This is IOS only owing to Android play store collecting a device identifier; the creator wanted complete anonymity

Quote from some other place people were discussing it. Unfortunately no source on it.

We clearly read very different stories, in mine the computers are usually more competent than a 30% success rate.

Imagine if the internet at its inception failed to connect you 70% of the time. It’s not as impressive as most other inventions.

It can complete coding tasks. But that’s not the same as replacing a developer. In the same way that cutting wood doesn’t make me a carpenter and soldering a wire doesn’t make me an electrician. I wish the AI crowd understood that.

I’m pretty sure the users risked a lot too for this one

With the current FAA problems, do y’all really want more things taking off?

Various government and educational entities are using Nextcloud. I guess that severely limits who they can hire.

This is much more innovative than Google Glass, it’s now in the bottom right corner. That’s what 13 years of innovation looks like. /s

If they’re big enough to qualify they might be fined next.
