Malware targeting individuals rather than servers do not need privilege escalation. They just need to run as the user and swipe cookies/credentials/wallets etc. Privilege escalation would allow them to do catastrophic damage but that’s not the point in that case.

I wonder how many GrapheneOS users are there. Not sure why none of the existing OEMs are interested in a collab, is it really that low? You have world class security experts willing to work with you for basically free and you sell a few dozen (?) thousand phones to the people who’d never buy from you otherwise. I’d love to see Samsung get involved as they’re the only decent non-US, non-CCP OEM out there.

Running those adblockers on your devices is extremely insecure. They register as a VPN and intercept HTTPS traffic. They decrypt the encrypted traffic, filter it, and encrypt again meaning all your communications are signed by this single app’s certificate. Not to mention any vulnerability would wreak havoc.

Cool channel, never came across it before. Always good to find high production quality Linux channels.

What’s up with the attitude like gpu accelerated terminals aren’t extremely popular? If you’re fine with what you’re using, have fun and tone down the high horse.

Anything is fine unless you’re using the terminal very heavily. Almost all of my workflow is within the terminal so I want everything to be as fast as possible. I want a minimal, low config, fast terminal that has the exact same behavior when using the same config on Linux and MacOS (I know, fuck me, I have to use it for work). And those are Alacritty and Ghostty. I hate Alacritty’s horrible icon so I use Ghostty.

Yeah the protocols are there, portals support it, OBS works. It is great that random applications cannot capture the framebuffer.
