  • It really is a love/hate for me: on one hand, I love seeing my favorite scenes (Rhuidean, for example) brought to life by a clearly talented cast. On the other hand, the writing is completely haphazard. Inexplicable changes that add no value and aren’t even tied in to the larger plot and character development, sloppy relationship building…somehow these show writers wrote a less convincing early relationship for Perrin and Faile than Jordan himself, and that’s saying something lmfao. I feel like book readers need some group therapy to process this mess LOL




  • One thought: when I moved to GrapheneOS, I did not understand how it related to my threat model. I attempted to use multiple profiles, as this is a feature that many people who use GrapheneOS value. I had no concept of my real risk, and tried to segregated FOSS from non-FOSS, etc. This IS actually a bit difficult for the layperson vs stock Android. Things like notifications and app installation work differently at the end user level; e.g., use FDroid vs Google Play, no FCM notification functionality and having to manually configure a replacement.

    However, the layperson, using a single profile and sandboxed google play, is already better off than any project out there from my understanding. For adoption, that’s what I would be advertising for GrapheneOS. It just needs a one page explanation of the simple features and advantages for the person coming fresh from stock Android, and avoid (on that page only) getting into the tools for more advanced threat models.
