  • Both GNU and GrapheneOS have staunch requirements and will accept no compromises.

    This is a situation where their requirements don't align, so they'll never reach an agreement.

    GrapheneOS, for example, is also strictly against making the Fairphone line of phones a little more secure because it doesn't meet all of their security requirements

    In this case GNU won't certify GrapheneOS as fully open because it includes binaries that aren't open

    The FSF is more along your line of improving the situation where they can

  • I'd used Linux a bit out of curiosity in the Windows XP era

    Windows Vista came out and was completely unusable on the computers I or anyone around me owned. It was also harder to configure than Linux and the new UI looked worse than the Linux UIs at the time

    So I switched and haven't been back to Windows since

  • For whatever reason org.gtk.Gtk3theme.Breeze-Dark was deprecated

    The workaround listed here: https://github.com/flathub/org.gtk.Gtk3theme.Breeze

    Is to run: flatpak override --user --filesystem=xdg-config/gtk-3.0:ro

    However, that exposes a little extra if you have favorite places stored

    I think it works if you only expose xdg-config/gtk-3.0/colors.css, xdg-config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css, and xdg-config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini

  • The summary here and in the paper isn't very helpful to check what CVEs are relevant

    The kernels referenced aren't supported, and it says the issues were reported upstream

    Checking some of the references of the paper, it says

    By the time we posted this writeup, all the distros have patched this vulnerability.

    Do you know what CVEs users should check against?

  • Isn't #2 the only option?

    Websites specifying color for foreground (or background) and assuming browsers will use whatever color they're expecting for the other has always existed, and still exists

    If you're getting fancy and specifying colors, you can't cheap out and not specify all colors

    If the browser ignores all your colors at that point, then it's displaying as the user intended

    If you only specified some of the colors, it's a bug of the website

  • The even crazier part to me is some chip makers we were working with pulled out of guaranteed projects with reasonably decent revenue to chase AI instead

    We had to redesign our boards and they paid us the penalties in our contract for not delivering so they could put more of their fab time towards AI

  • It doesn't have to, but GrapheneOS is designed around security first, privacy second, and usability third

    If you install Fennec browser on it and open, e.g., https://www.learningcontainer.com/download/sample-pdf-file-for-testing/?wpdmdl=1566&refresh=6697dcd62a0141721228502

    The PDF will display inside Firefox

    The default web browser on GrapheneOS, Vanadium, doesn't parse PDF's (they're an incredibly insecure format) and passes them off to a sandboxed, hardened app specifically for that usecase

    This allows rejecting more permissions than doing it in the same process

  • Separated over the PCIe bus with an IOMMU between it and system memory, as well as hardware switches to disable it if I'm not reachable

    I haven't found a way to remove it entirely. It's the only option I've found so far, but if you know of a better designed option, I'm certainly interested
