  • You seem to have made what's known as a converse error in your logic:

    The person you replied to said that

    All fascist ideologies will use the argument of "Protecting the children"

    You seem to have mistakingly confused that with the false claim

    All arguments that use "Protecting the children" are made by fascist ideologies

    And as such you have responded to a statement the commenter never made.

    And equivalent mistake would be claim that since every time it rains it is cloudy, therefore whenever it is cloudy it is always raining. Honestly logical errors happen for everyone, I hope this helps.

  • Is TOR compromised?

    Jump

  • Pretty much impossible, especially with so many eyes on the project. It is possible to intentionally introduce vulnerabilities into open source code and use that as a backdoor but for projects like tor keeping that hidden for long periods of time is incredibly difficult due to the number of people independently auditing the code.

  • The cultural left is against her for being very visibly transphobic (along other things). Additionally religious reactionaries historically don't like the fact her books are inspired by historical witchcraft practices, as pointed out in the meme.

    To quote wikipedia's summery:

    ...Whited asserted in 2024 that Rowling's sometimes "flippant" and "simplistic understanding of gender identity" had permanently changed her "relationship not only with fans, readers, and scholars ... but also with her works themselves".

    At the very least, you have adequately shown me that the developer is too unstable to be able to guarantee the OS remains secure. Next time I'll use Calyx OS since they are pretty much the sane anyway.

    I do want to point out that:

    No, he hates them because he was mocked deservedly by Tor devs

    Technically the email you linked showed that he hated TOR beforehand, then the devs (rightly) mocked his reasoning, we were both right.

    [by your logic] He should make it maximum compliant with governments and spying agencies

    Please do not twist my words, though I understand once you assume someone is a bad actor you (quite understandably) give up. My point is that software should not be configured to break the law by default. Why would a user want something that breaks the law when first installed, when most users want to follow the law? Ideally software like this should have separate "legally compliment" and "freedom" branches but I argue having the first one is better then the second one in most cases.

    All that being said, enjoy your day

  • is part of the Linux kernel

    Saddly no it's not, its a component embedded by the compiler that can be separately installed to replace the programs default allocator implementation. Also I can't find a fork of android I know of that supports it.

    If I understand you correctly, graphene OS is bad because:

    1. The developer is using his fans to market the software he helps make, resulting in more people using it.

    Arguably that's a good thing as it at least makes people aware that other android forks exist, encouraging people to switch to one of the more private forks of android.

    1. The developer hates Mozilla and unfairly hates TOR because he sees them as Mozilla shills.

    How does the developer having bad takes effect a piece of software? Firefox in mine and others experience, still works well on the device. Yes I am aware of his vanadium project, if he wants to waste time, power to him.

    1. By default the OS complies with government laws both defacto and official.

    Why is that a bad thing, especially since it sounds like the alternative is breaking said laws? Yes there are often moral arguments against laws such as that, but the advantage of open source is that you can switch to something that gives you the freedom to break the law if you want.

    The only thing you have shown me (which I already agreed with) is the lead developer (who is not the only one working on the project) is immature and paranoid, you have not showed why I should not use the software that he helped make, only that other forks support more hardware.

    Thanks for being willing to discuss this stuff, I appreciate you are willing to take the time to write a detailed response.

  • So if I understand you correctly, Graphene OS does everything it says it does but overhypes its differences with other forks. That doesn't sound like snakeoil, only effective marketing.

    Why shouldn't I use it over the other forks then, particularly because useful features like hardened_malloc are only avalible on Graphene despite being widely ported to linux distros?

    They also do not shill for Big Tech or Google/Apple.

    What's the story behind this? I'm genuinely curious.

    I will say I strongly dislike how the developer has handled criticism, but that seems to be more a failing of the dev then a problem with the OS.

  • en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HimToo_movement

    #HimToo became connected with rape allegations ... when a mother in the United States tweeted about her son with the #HimToo hashtag. She claimed that her son, Pieter Hanson, was afraid to go on dates because of false rape allegations. Hanson himself disavowed his mother's tweet, saying that ... he never has and never will support #HimToo.

    For better or worse, past evidence suggests people can't be heroized against there will until they are dead (as was the case for the anti-nillist philosopher Nietzsche)

  • Such a solution could actually work (the example of a Republican finding no controversial stuff in her school's curriculum comes to mind), however the problem is it would require the person involved to disassociate with there (presumably anti-gay) friends and family and be accepted by her former "enemies", which would be especially hard if they had a public facing role. They possibly may even have to reject a emotionally driven worldview/ideology they may have adopted, which is quite difficult.

  • Okay, please tell me do I convince an anti-intellectual logic that they refuse to use? I have tried to with no success.

    I do not want my gay friends imprisoned for wanting to be happy, I do not want my trans friends lynched for being able to look at themselves in the mirror. How do you propose I convince those that do through logic alone, when these people are only willing to consider emotional/illogical arguments?

    I don't care about arguing, I care about solutions, what are your solutions to this discrimination we both hate?
