I think the issue people have with "tech" is that much of the software and devices sold take up too much space and do things people don't want them to do, without offering choice, configurability, and options for full control

Crypto could fix this

0 in our case, but we are pretty strict. Same at the first place I worked too. Big tech companies.

TL; DR-- There are many good reasons for regular people to prefer GrapheneOS

Hey, the security is nice, but I really like the detailed control over notifications, GMS prompts, and network access. When I used PixelOS, my phone did things I didn't want it to, and it was hard or impossible to make it stop. On GrapheneOS, the defaults are a pretty good experience. I even recommend it to non-techies since they can use it with the Google apps and its still a more respectful experience, even if they don't need or want the level of control that I like.

It got a lot worse this time because he brought all his people in. The old administration started with misalignment and some competent people. The administrators were less willing to break laws. So that one was better.

A year ago, I used to still list living in America as among the things I'm grateful for. I don't do that anymore because then I think of the places I'd rather live.

I really hope this new craziness and volatility is temporary, but I wonder if it is. We could become the next Argentina if not.

From a coal mine? What is this, 1890?

Why does talking about a special interest have to be a negative/panic response? I do this all the time and people seem interested. Or they suddenly have to go haha. Either way, you asked! Though these days, talking about machine learning is more socially acceptable than it used to be thanks to ChatGPT! A lot of opportunities to correct misinformation too, though people hate being wrong, so that needs some care...

Anyway, yeah, I take that as an invitation!

Git itself is a distributed VCS...

I think this was a joke

People deserve to get paid on their work, and currently the best way to do that and survive in America is to work on completely closest source products that don't respect their users. Open source is probably the most respectful but doesn't work well as a business. We need something that works reliably for delivering real products that will achieve mass adoption. I think these source available licenses are that.
