1·7 days agoGraphene has beef with every device maker that doesn’t include a secure element throttle (which is every device maker except Google and Apple, and presumably Moto as of the first partnership device).
They partner with Murena for selling to the US right now (though its only usable on Tmobile).
They are trying to enter the US market on their own (perhaps with the Fairphone 7), but the US carriers make things way more complicated than other markets. They already sell their headphones in the US through Amazon as of late last year.
Makes little difference now since Xperia abandoned the US entirely – but the last few years they were in the US, Xperia US devices were locked down.
Who watches the watcher’s watcher?
A significant chunk of privacy enthusiasts are libertarians like Brave’s CEO. I think there’s some level of “same team” trust going on there.
True, but the thing is that the people in power will still complain about increased fraud if and when it happens and point to the government as irresponsible custodians of personal data.
The more likely result from removing 230 (depending on how it was removed) is actually that all moderation stops. Moderation is what makes the companies liable without 230, so they just wouldn’t do it (and wouldn’t allow users to do it either). Any open community site would quickly become a cesspool. Small private closed communities would become the norm.
juggling more money than their pre-AI boom market cap by a wide margin
I’m not sure what you mean by this. Nvidia carries a vanishingly small amount of debt for its size. It has way more liquidity than debt.
It won’t collapse. It’ll lose a huge chunk of its stock price, but it both has other business to fall back on and its chips will still likely be used in whatever the next tech trend is - probably neural network AI or something.

Not a marvel when the SoC is also owned by them. Them, Apple, and (outside the US) Samsung are the only ones who could really pull it off without help.
Loops is the FOSS fediverse equivalent.
Doctorow is Canadian-British.
This is written by Cory Doctorow – formerly of the EFF and coiner of the word “enshittification”. You can disagree with him, but this is the same kind of advocacy he has written for decades.
BSD, perhaps. Or maybe Redox eventually.
That’s now Thunderbird.
As far as I know, browsers will only do Widevine L3. Meaning you won’t get resolutions past 720p or maybe 1080p (depending on service). That’s probably fine a small screen like the deck. Less fine for a 4k TV.
Personally, I’d love a phone I can experiment with pure Linux OSs or Sailfish on.
