I don’t think you understand how different Android and Linux distributions truly are.

Linux alone refers to the kernel. There are custom AOSP kernels based on the Linux LTS versions with a few extra patches but that is basically all that connects Linux to Android.

But absolutely everything in userland is wholly diifferent in Android than with any Linux distribution out there.

And you can’t just replicate what Android did on top of the Linux kernel without Google amounts of resources. Which GrapheneOS does not have in the slightest.

All of the Android 17 security patches from the current September 2026, October 2026, November 2026, December 2026, January 2027, February 2027 and March 2027 Android Security Bulletins are included in the 2026090701 security preview release. List of additional fixed CVEs:

Not quite, this does have certain legal implications. Check out the CC0 license’s “Public License Fallback” text: https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/legalcode.en#fallback

The “license to do whatever” is more like a “license to do whatever except for whatever a court ruled I cannot give a license for”.

Public domain is a thing in the EU but not releasing anything into public domain.

In Germany, I cannot renounce my copyright to anything. I can give you an indefinite, unrestricted license to do whatever but I still own the copyright. It will only ever become public domain 70 years after my death, not a day sooner or later.

It very much does. Else there would be no need for the EU to create legislation allowing/mandating it.

Right now member states are not allowed to unilaterally mandate chat control I believe.

There are ultra long term support Linux kernels though.

Linux 6.12 will be supported until at least 2036 for instance.

Why would an optional field have a default value? Shouldn’t it just be unset?

Adoption in English speaking countries only. Why is adoption equally terrible internationally if the name is to blame?

Seriously, the ONLY reason I actually know gimp has other meanings is because of discussions of the program.

Is it?

Just use Linux 6.12 with LTS until 2029 and Super LTS until 2036.

That’s not a thing in like every single country. Might as well add a “Name of the Chinese primary school you graduated from” field, at least that would have more users.

The rating system isn’t meant to be taken literally though. It’s expected that parents make an informed choice based on the maturity of their child. The ratings are recommendations and as far as I know only actually enforced by stores/sellers and cinemas.

Laws are often purposefully vague to account for loopholes and changing circumstances/public attitudes though. It’s the task of courts to define the exact boundaries – and since jury trials aren’t a thing, the interpretations of any higher court will basically ammend the law for lower courts.

Torrenting for commercial use is probably worse, legally speaking.

Fortunately not too bad.

It’s just:

SUSE Linux Enterprise 16 supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP) standard and can bridge to any LLM provider.

So it doesn’t include AI but you can connect it to AI. Also openSUSE is seemingly unaffected.

If enterprise customers want to continue – and pay for – their AI circlejerk then let them.

You can also be spied on by me if you’d like to.

Just send your search queries to me.

For extra espionage, I’ll even make sure to use non-privacy respecting search engines (like Google, Yandex, Baidu) and AI for your queries.

Not OP, but my (German) bank supports the Digitales Bezahlen App with GrapheneOS. I used it exactly twice, both times because I forgot my wallet at home.

According to the German (I have not found an EU equivalent) office for statistics, you are part of the top 1% of full-time workers if you earn >213,286€ per year:

Sure, this doesn’t include billionaires who don’t work but there just aren’t enough of them to matter. It’s not like there are hundreds of thousands billionaires in Germany.

Earning 400,000€ in two years makes you part of the 1% though?? Where else would this guy be? Upper middle class?

It definitely cannot go to the EU. I don’t believe any EU country permits private online libraries.

Plus the entire Wayback Machine would be considered systematic copyright infringement since the Internet Archive doesn’t obtain permission prior to archival. And if you don’t have permission then it is automatic copyright infeingement.

I mean at that point just get it through GOG.
