What is all this for criminals BS. Graphene is one of the best ROMs out there if your willing to use Google hardware. Pretty much just works and without the normal bloat.
Linus videos have clickbait titles like that, and it’s in reference to some news articles calling GOS an OS for criminals
Title and thumbnail aside, the video was a positive review of GOS and was made with help from a GOS team member. I probably should have added the extra context before it got downvoted away 😄
The articles didn’t call it that, Spanish authorities did. GOS claims this was a “state-sponsored attack” but couldn’t provide any evidence of such a thing.
WTF is up with that title. Jesus.
Dude has had nonsense clickbait titles forever but this is a new low.
deshonesty and profits in mind
Leave it to Lemmy to down vote the hell out of a decent video
I don’t think it is bad. However, Linus is going to quickly discover why people avoid Graphene OS. (The devs and community are toxic as hell)
It’s because we all know he both steals content and fakes reviews. He lost our trust. He can make one good video but it doesn’t make up for his entire history.
So you’re going to punish people even when they do the right thing.
Why would anyone choose to do the right thing over wrong, if you always punish them no matter what they do?
The click bait title also annoys me, if that makes you feel better.
That feels like a post-hoc excuse rather than a reason.
I already gave my reason, you didn’t like it. It’s not my fault if you also didn’t like my second reason.
What I like or don’t doesn’t matter here. You’re going to do what your going to do. I’m merely pointing out the apparent logic of your responses. It’s up to you to decide if you like them.
Which it seems you might not, since you keep coming up with new excuses trying to justify your feelings.
Which now includes blaming me, as if your lack of reasonable justification is my fault.
K… It’s justifiable enough to me, and that’s enough for me, so if you’re upset enough to have a comment chain like this then… I guess I don’t know what you’re looking for. So, I’m probably going to stop replying because I’ve said why, and you rejected my why. Twice.
The idea the Graphene devs are toxic doesn’t hold up to scrutiny. People just don’t respond well to their critiques and think a media dogpile will be less energy.
Do your own research
In an era of chat control getting pushed and governments pushing to require verification for sites why don’t people appreciate Linus helping to give the impression that GrapheneOS is the criminals OS of choice?
That imagery hadn’t even occured to me with me just seeing at a privacy OS. How helpful of him to use his large channel so that is the impression first set forth when he could have presented any other way and still done his dumb clickbait and stupid face.
the Photoshop on that thumbnail is real bad haha
Why are people still giving this clown views?
