  • I’ve run both Graphene and Lineage. I will be sticking with Graphene. Lineage isn’t really drastically different than any other android experience in my opinion. Graphene is another animal. It includes privacy and security features that just aren’t available elsewhere. It even offers a degree of protection when using Google apps, using a sort of neutered version of Google Play that has its spying features limited to the bare necessity to do its job.

    I’m not even scratching the surface, and if there’s a downside it’s that it will take a little reading to understand all your new options. I’ve been running it for six months or so and I’m totally sold. Once you’re used to it, it’ll feel like how android should work.



  • So every user is their own moderator… which just sounds like a ton of extra work vs something like Mastodon where I can pick a server whose moderation practices I agree with, is already decentralized into countless servers and allows the user to spin up their own instance.

    Keyword filtration as a moderation technique is woefully ineffective vs trolls who simply find “clever” new ways to harass with intentional misspellings, dogwhistles, etc.

    Meanwhile, you’re pitching this thing as “uncensorable” which automatically appeals to the worst elements available. Maybe I’m wrong and it’ll be the perfect format for internet discussion, but I’m going to have to see that actually happen before I jump on board.











  • I’m with you. It was still cool enough to run the trimmer at noon. It’s up to 21C (70F) now which is a little warmer than I prefer to work in, but still not overwhelming. We’re not quite getting freezing temps at night anymore, so it’s in the sweet spot: warm enough to plant tomatoes and peppers, cool enough to do the work without breaking a sweat!
