On the one hand, sure. On the other hand, if there hasn't been even a tiny bug fix or feature update in that long it calls into question (at least for me) whether when there is inevitably a breaking change, security issue with a library, whatever - that it will be addressed. If I don't have some level of confidence in that, I'd rather not rely on the tool.

This kind of concern could be handled by contacting the developer or engaging with the community around the tool to see what the project status is, and why it isn't being updated.

And its backed by the Linux Foundation! So it can survive things like Hashicorp's silly attempt to claim copyright infringement.

I've used Hetzner for years without issue. Accessed through VPNs to the control panel without problems, changed password no issue, etc. I've never heard of them being "known for" the behavior you describe. This is just anecdote vs anecdote, though. I'd be interested to see some kinda evidence of what you're saying.

Maybe not, but like you were told from another comment waze is also a Google/Alphabet product. As an otherwise near fully de-googled phone user, google maps is still the best option I know of.

He's contributing a useful video, you're contributing useless vitriol.

VM detection that I've run into is not that hard to bypass, but it does subjectively seem to result in a less performant VM (haven't ran any tests to verify).

Almost everything you said here is false, with the exception of controversy over the developer. However, GrapeheneOS is far from a single developer project, and the former lead stepped down a little while ago.

I have a 6a, which I tolerate for GrapheneOS. The battery life is absolutely terrible.

Once they are cheaper and more durable I'll buy one. Its still a new form factor that hasn't been perfected yet, but that doesn't mean its wrong for manufacturers to keep at it

Yeah, this game makes it very satisfying once you have mastered movement. Lots of fun and unique.

Just convenience in the form of focusing on a user-friendly out of the box experience, really. That's enough for me to use it over Debian on desktop, though I like Debian for servers.

It would be nice if they fixed their app so that when I set it to always dark mode, it actually stays in always dark mode. I don't have much faith in UI improvements when that bug has plagued me for literally years, across Android versions and devices. But now the colors that suddenly blind me when it changes from dark to light will be different, yay?

 

No idea if this post will resonate at all, but I'll give it a shot.

I didn't want to drive, when I was younger. I made it to 20 without a license, using my bike as my main transportation and the bus for longer trips. Because society here in the USA does not accommodate that lifestyle in most places, including where I live, it was deeply limiting. So I got a car, and it unlocked far better options for me in every way - career, social opportunities, time saved. The downsides are obvious, and this community is acutely aware of them, so I won't belabor the point.

On an individual scale, the scale at which we live our lives, in many corners of the world it is just better, incredibly so, to own a car. Directing hostility at people for driving, even enjoying driving and the associated lifestyle is deeply counterproductive to any kind of progress. The voices speaking against the cause of walkable cities, better public transportation, aren't what the focus should be.

The focus should be on supporting any possible effort to open new, car-free lifestyle opportunities. Then new voices will emerge, describing the massive savings and freedom of not needing to own and operate an expensive, dangerous piece of machinery just to get groceries or go to work.

That is my two cents, as a person who drives to work, drives for work, and would love to both replace my commute with a better option and deal with less traffic doing my job, which is one of many that requires driving to transport people and materials throughout the day. You can find a lot more allies with a more positive and incremental approach, incubating awareness of a better path, or you can just be an annoying echo chamber.
