Both. Both is true.

Columbo my love ACAB should always come with a single exception: Columbo.

The full translation of the clip of Gaël Duval provided by GrapheneOS:

There’s the attack surface, on that front we’re not security specialists here, so I couldn’t answer you precisely, but from the discussions I’ve had, it seems that everything we do reduces attack surface.

However, we don’t have a “hardened security” approach, we aren’t developing a phone for pedo(censored) so they can evade justice. So there aren’t difficult things to check if the memory is corrupted, really hardened security stuff that could clearly be useful for executives, in the secret service, or whatever.

That’s not our goal, our goal is to start from an observation: today our personal data is constantly being plundered and that wouldn’t be legal in real life with the mail or the telephone, we want to change that. So we are making you a product that changes that by default for anyone.

As a french speaker, I can attest that the translation is fairly accurate.

While I don’t agree with the characterisation Gaël Duval makes here, I believe the statement from GrapheneOS here:

Duval and his organizations have consistently taken a stance against protecting users from exploits. In this video, he once again claims protecting against exploits is for only useful pedophiles and spies.

Is a bit disingenuous. It sounds like they do make some efforts to secure their device, but it’s not their main focus. Theirs is to improve privacy first and foremost.

I would take anything GrapheneOS devs says with a grain of salt, as we all know that they have quite an adversarial relationship with… well… everyone. But especially other OS makers.

I don’t trust anything this government does. They always find a way to pick the worst choice for everyone but themselves and their rich backers. Even if they never abuse these powers (unlikely, given their track record), what’s to stop the next government from abusing them?

The point is that I've seen several comments on other posts about this vulnerability, and in the body of this one, saying that Notepad is bloated and terrible now. I'm offering a counterpoint that this is not necessarily bloat. It's debatable that this is the right tool to have this feature, but it can be a useful feature. I'm fine with Markdown support, but I wish MS got the message about Copilot being unwanted. Not sure if they've added it to Notepad or not at this stage, but given all the places they've crammed it into I wouldn't be surprised.

To be fair, markdown is a very cool standard. While I don't know if it really makes sense for Notepad to be anything other than a plain-text editor, there are better tools for that, supporting markdown is kind of nice. This means you have support for it on fresh Windows installs, which could be good for virtual machines. That said, Markdown is intrinsically pretty readable without formatting anyway. It's a shame they flubbed the implementation though...

Social housing typically doesn’t look as good as high-end apartments, but it doesn’t have to look terrible. Here’s some pretty neat looking social housing in south Paris. It’s kind of the China Town of Paris. It’s right next to an accessible tram station, has green spaces and social areas spread around, a couple of malls with great independent restaurants right next door. There are cycle lanes all around the place. If you’re curious, here it is on Google Maps I’d live here. I only wish there were more neighbourhoods like this.

I don’t think I’ve had a locked phone since around 2012. I’m guessing people still get them because they need financing? Seems like a poor choice most of the time.

I have met people in Britain who genuinely seem to hate food. They have a plain cheese sandwich, the worst imaginable bread or eat Huel every day. That doesn’t necessarily reflect all Britons, but I do think they genuinely care about food less on average than other cultures.

Awwww was baby Hegseth triggered by the mean old font? Authoritarians are so sensitive, they get upset at everything.

Christian Nationalists are basically white nationalists. White nationalists are US-flavoured Nazis. KKK material. They should be a fringe group shunned by all society, perhaps given mental help and deprogramming treatment. In this timeline though they are out-and-proud and in positions of power.

I have a habit of getting into trouble for criticizing the work of others. I do it constructively, but not always tactfully. One I pulled a few months back was something along the lines of “don’t do this, as it means other people will have to clean up after you”. I’m… working on it.

It's become my hobby to imagine what Imgur memes are by using the comments. It sounds like.the picture might be a shrek-based 3D printing extruder (I think that's the bit above the nozzle?). Guessing it's either coming out of his ass, his mouth or nose.
