What does this meme even mean?

Same as anything else. Security updates are the new antivirus, but baked in. That’s the most important reason.

There are new features that you may not notice or use. But think about it, support for new resolutions, refresh rates, cable standards, VRR, HDR, drivers for new hardware and USB devices, improved drivers for existing hardware, bug fixes. All of this has happened within the last few years. Not to mention visually obvious changes like redesigning the Ui, aesthetics, adding new baked in programs.

Eww

To clarify, some versions of Linux are lighter weight with resources, and macOS does tend to take up more RAM at rest to make things pull up snappier, if you have it to spare. But their compression algorithm is better, and if you are using near the limit, it will be more efficient with the use of the RAM you have available before lagging. With Windows and Linux, it feels more like if you’re out of RAM you’re out if RAM. It’s less likely to happen at all on Linux though.

I use mainly Linux but Mac is more efficient with RAM than Linux is also. By a significant amount.

Got any good recommendations for Masto/microblogverse? I haven’t made an account yet.

But then I wouldn’t have been able to make this meme.

I get you, I wasn’t being sarcastic. Going through something difficult has a way of bringing people together, especially if you still love it after the effort.

Hm yeah that blows.

It’s not that they have a deal with Google, it’s that Google’s hardware security is best bar none except maybe iPhone. And Graphene is the best way to degoogle, as counter intuitive as it may seem. They are working with other manufacturers to get these security requirements for new phones so Graphene can be put on them.

Yes. It is hardened a lot though, easily the most secure and private. Ubuntu Touch is maybe more private because Linux but it’s barely functional. iOS in lockdown mode is decent, better than stock Android.

I wish Ubuntu Touch wasn’t the main player because I dont want to give Canonical money 😭 Better than Google or Microsoft though.

What messages would be unencrypted in this scenario if it is E2EE? I’m not sure what you’re trying to say.

GrapheneOS :)

I love how encouraging the self hosted community is.

I hope they’re not ending the project. They were pretty comfortably the best Graphene alternative but you’ll need security updates.

Gives me a jumpscare when I apply updates, not gonna lie

A lot of it is hitting critical mass too. Reddit used to be tech enthusiasts and stem students the same way Fediverse is currently. Now any town idiot yahoo from the sticks will angrily yell at you on Reddit for no reason.

But yeah the algorithm is a lot stronger than it would seem.
