@GrapheneOS /me wishes to express their admiration for the patience and persistence of @GrapheneOS and sends them as large a package of respect as the virtual courier will allow them to ship. They also hope that @GrapheneOS doesn't burn themselves out dealing with this onslaught

@cooperq @JessTheUnstill GrapheneOS is partnered with one of the 10 largest Android OEMs and doesn't depend on future Pixels continuing to meet our requirements. Currently, no other devices meet our requirements, but our OEM partner is working on providing everything we need including hardware memory tagging and proper updates. It's going well. It's how we have security partner access enabling us to make security preview releases, which is covered at https://grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/115316688878333496 in detail.

Debian & Stuff, Sept 2025
We had a pretty good day with 2 people returning to Montreal after having wandered off for a while, and a fresh attendee, new to Montreal, but not new to Debian, in addition to several of the usual suspects

Bruce Schneier has a good high-level look at threat-modeling under an authoritarian government. Alas, it’s not amenable to a simple recipe approach, but involves carefully thinking through the tradeoffs: https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2025/09/digital-threat-modeling-under-authoritarianism.html

I thought the section in this screenshot was an especially good point.

Screenshot of text that says:

Being Innocent Won’t Protect You

This is vital to understand. Surveillance systems and sorting algorithms make mistakes. This is apparent in the fact that we are routinely served advertisements for products that don’t interest us at all. Those mistakes are relatively harmless—who cares about a poorly targeted ad?—but a similar mistake at an immigration hearing can get someone deported.

An authoritarian government doesn’t care. Mistakes are a feature and not a bug of authoritarian surveillance. If ICE targets only people it can go after legally, then everyone knows whether or not they need to fear ICE. If ICE occasionally makes mistakes by arresting Americans and deporting innocents, then everyone has to fear it. This is by design.

My wife's leaving note said I had "the worst case of LinkedIn brain" she'd ever seen.

Here's what that taught me about B2B sales...

Republicans are openly using Nazi history as a playbook, yet many are in denial about what the USA has become.

Panel 1:
HORST WESSEL WAS A YOUNG STORM TROOPER RECOGNIZED AS A SKILLED PUBLIC SPEAKER BY THE NAZI PARTY. HE ALSO WROTE THE SONG THAT BECAME THE PARTY'S ANTHEM, AND THEN THE GERMAN CO-NATIONAL ANTHEM UNTIL 1945.

Panel 2:
IN 1930, HIS LANDLADY HIRED TWO MEN WHO HAPPENED TO BE COMMUNISTS TO EVICT HIM OVER UNPAID RENT AND ALLEGED SEX TRAFFICKING. HE DIED IN THE FIGHT.

Panel 3:
GOEBBELS, THE NAZI CHIEF PROPAGANDIST, HAD BEEN LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO TURN INTO A CHRISTIAN MARTYR FOR THE PARTY AND DRUM UP ENROLLMENT. HE TURNED WESSEL'S FUNERAL INTO A MAJOR PROPAGANDA EVENT FULL OF SPEECHES ANTAGONIZING LEFTISTS.

@Mer__edith about Signal and potential Chat Control in the EU:
“We would continue to operate as long as we could. Similar to how we do in Iran, similar to how we’ve done in response to being blocked in Russia, working with our community to set up proxies so that people who are within these regions have access to Signal. ”
Think about that! They might be forced to do in the EU what they did in Russia and Iran. https://english.elpais.com/technology/2025-09-14/signal-president-meredith-whittaker-in-technology-its-way-too-easy-for-marketing-to-replace-substance-thats-whats-happened-with-telegram.html

I am on the hunt for people who make things. Physical things. Physical things in a workshop. Or at home. Or in a studio. Or outside. But they have to be physical things. And you make them. Handmade or with machines.

I’d like to follow you and see what you make.

Please can you boost this post so that I get some reach on this post.

Many thanks.

@fdroidorg uninstalling and reinstalling in the main profile allowed me to install in the sub-account. Don't know why. Unexpected keyboard was already the most recent version in the main profile, but who cares, it's installed now 😁 Thanks so much!!

@fdroidorg PS, everything I've found when searching says to uninstall the previously installed app, but it isn't installed yet (not in this profile at least)

@fdroidorg Thank you, that did the trick! Now, when trying to install @unexpectedkeyboard in the sub-account, I get the error

INSTALL_FAILED_UPDATE_INCOMPATILE: Existing package juloo.keyboard2 signatures do not match newer version; ignoring!

Can you help with this or is this a problem for the app developer?

Thanks

@fdroidorg PS, I've tried deleting and downloading the apk again 3 times and each time I'm told the apk does not appear valid

fdroidorg@floss.social I just tried to install @fdroidorg from your site and again from the downloaded apk. Both gave me the error that the install failed because the apk appeared invalid. This is on a sub-account on @GrapheneOS Any idea what might be causing this?
