So many outlets reporting on this, but there is no story here yet.

The ECHA site has more info.

To me it sounds like they are considering reclassification, at which point decisions can be weighed.

Hi. I too have found myself asking questions like this when I had phones that had custom ROMs.

tell me what Graphene has stronger?

When I looked into this, I found that Graphene is hardened and is more secure while other ROMs spec into the privacy aspect only.

I still keep my list even though my current device/chipset is not supported by these ROMs.

Alternative/Custom ROMS

In no particular order, these ROMs usually change the UX/UI and maybe add some security enhancements.

• LineageOS

• BlissRoms: Close to stock with “some” added privacy

• Evolution X: Android 13 with the Pixel UI

• Paranoid Android: Android with custom enhancements

• PixelExperience

• OmniROM

• ArrowOS

Privacy|Hardened ROMS

Security-wise, LineageOS is a start but (correct me if I am wrong) you need to unlock the bootloader, which is not great. These ROMs purport heightened privacy or “hardened” security.

• iodéOS: “deGoogled” LineageOS fork, uses lots of blacklists for ad- and tracker-blocking. Sells pre-installed devices.

• /e/OS: A “deGoogled” Android experience. Uses microG, no telemetry sent to Google, modified NTP and DNS servers, modified GPS service. Uses the “App Lounge” which combines the Aurora Store with F-Droid and PWAs. Has a tracker blocker. Requires you to have an @murena.io account for some functionalities.

• GrapheneOS: Private, secure, hardened… has a long list of features. Updates are fast, exploitations are quickly mitigated, non-profit. But, Pixel-only.

• CalyxOS: PAUSED

• DivestOS

I don’t know. I use mpv because I switched to Linux in 2006 and I’m used to it now.

I did! I see it on my students’ screens in December. There is some other software that does little things like that. Pale Moon does something for Halloween I believe. I hardly ever watch videos on my computer though.

I was team mpc until about 2006, now I’m team mpv.

I still can’t remember why I disliked VLC, I think the first time I used it the video would not work but it played with mplayer.

Still good to have VLC around though, glad to see them stickin’ around all these years.

Most any criticism of the show is true. I will day that it is a good series to watch with people who haven’t watched Star Trek before because it is a little un-Trek-ish and there is less to stop and explain. Also, since the mission is top secret it has little overlap with anything except SNW.

As a Star Trek fan, I was happy to get more Trek, the same as I was happy to get more Picard (that S2 was a pain though!), Lower Decks, Prodigy, and even the Short Treks.

My wife was pulled into the world of Star Trek by Discovery (a full 36 years after I’d started watching the franchise) and now she loves it and wants to watch all of the other series. So, Discovery gets a point for that.

(I haven’t seen Section 31 yet. It is supposed to be very bad.)

*blows raspberry*

I always found both of these search engines to be Bing skins, and a few years back there was tonnes of negative stuff written about Qwant. Anyway, I am shocked that the project reached completion.
