The psyops online is quite amusing and insane, painting this as a victory for Venezuela. And weirdly by pro-Israeli account on Reddit.

By now my radar assumes Israel is somehow connected like many other events we've witnessed in the past. Venezuelas president was quite staunchly against Israel and it's interests, close with Iran too.

Israel is just an extension of the US in the middle east under the branding of Judaism. The desire is to weaken and eventually ignite the region in conflict. Already taking place between Saudi, UAE, Yemen etc. Weakening takes time.


It already is. Comments are shadow banned across social media, videos across Tiktok are shadow banned if they include certain mix of words.

There are cases of UK police turning up to homes for anti-zionist comments.

We're already there.


Why worry about E2E encryption, in theory just need a cert issued from a vast array of CAs or intermediates. Which I wouldn't be suprised they possess the ability through some type of secret warrant, heck even private keys.

Certificate Transparency thankfully means this is a tool a government could only use once if at all, and then they've burned an entire CA.


Isn't certificate transparency opt-in, so any trusted CA could be a potential attack route.


Browsers now require it to consider a certificate valid. Firefox, Chrome, and Safari all require a certificate to include proof of being logged in CT logs.


Removal of Jury service for certain crimes says it all, seeing this happen in the wake of Palestine Action is considerably disturbing, if I were a conspiracy nut I'd argue these things are being done to please Israel.


> Removal of Jury service for certain crimes says it all

Point of order: the concept already existed, they just want to expand it, for more crimes (the extent of which I'm unsure of).

Or just someone who has at least 100 IQ


This government has to be stopped and any other governments that are 'hostile' to it's citizens.

Vote them out at the very least.


And replace them with what? Tories who do the exact same and hang out at Davos etc with them?

The Lib Dems who are mostly interested in pavement politics and have no backbones.

The Greens who back more control taken away from the public? Reform who also seem to want more government powers in certain places?

The Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish parties who can never get enough seats to outvote this?


That's very true, when Israel consistently bombed and destroyed almost every hospital in Gaza. The media tried very hard to narrowly frame it this as legitimate.

Unfortunately for people, Israel will further be tightening its grip on the world (and has already) by buying and censoring platforms such as TikTok.

So there goes one of the main ways news was being shared defying the main stream narrative.

These are the facts and you will be labelled for stating them.


Scrolled too far to find this. It is largely about the points you made.


If you've run a open source project almost of any size, it's quite a task having to support it on various devices scenarios.

The GrapheneOS devs are doing the right thing for the longevity of the project. Focus on a small number of phones/hardware. It guarantees its long term success.

Excellent work I think, also the Pixel hardware design offers slightly better security with the baseband.


Pixel's design makes a good candidate for GrapheneOS or a secure OS in general.

The baseband hardware is not integrated the same way like other phones are.


I don't think that is a consideration for the project. Their OEM partnership also includes supporting a current generation Snapdragon SoC which seems to feature an integrated modem.

>A component being on a separate chip is orthogonal to whether it's isolated. In order to be isolated, the drivers need to treat it as untrusted. If it has DMA access, that needs to be contained via IOMMU and the driver needs to treat the shared memory as untrusted, as it would do with data received another way.

Although I don't use it I will be supporting the project. I'm quite proud of what they've achieved so far.
