I keep hearing this, but I never see any evidence for it.

There's only 0.7% Rust code and not even any C++. And almost all of that Rust code is for the CLI, not the editor.

The rest is just plain TypeScript and other web technologies.

Just tested it on Android, glide delete and glide cursor control doesn't work.

Would it even be possible to make those work with a canvas?

The implicitness is exactly the problem. The workaround that caused this vulnerability was done because people assumed that crypt() would never return null.

You don't even need a fancy result type. A simple Option<String> would've forced downstream users to consider the failure case, avoiding this situation in the first place.

I'm a bit sad that it won't the default OS.

I was hoping that by being pre-installed, GrapheneOS's public image will slowly transition from being an "obscure OS that scary hackers go out of their way to install" into just yet another stock OS found on certain brands.

From the article:

> Oh and btw, distros run by volunteers (Debian, Arch, Alpine...) hve shipped the fix. Meanwhile Ubuntu, made by a company that sells security subscriptions, hasn't. This is true as of 2026-11-02 14:48 UTC.

  They asked [Cringely] if he wanted to be interviewed about what it was like being a “geek” in high school.
  
  He replied to the Producer, cc’ing me:
  
  “Sorry, but I got laid plenty in high school. However, I have cc’d my friend Paul who actually was a geek in high school. He also lives in NYC.”
I'm cackling at this part!

I can't find the source for the gif displayed on the homepage itself though. Shame caused it looks nice.

TIL about [^], never seen that before. Apparently, it works like a dot but it also matches newlines.

Is GrapheneOS affected?

> Letterpress printing historically didn’t try to put much bite into printing, preferring what’s called a kiss impression—just perfectly laying the ink on top of the paper. Martha Stewart popularized debossing because, unlike real letterpress, it felt like letterpress.

“Whatever you now find weird, ugly, uncomfortable and nasty about a new medium will surely become its signature. CD distortion, the jitteriness of digital video, the crap sound of 8-bit — all of these will be cherished and emulated as soon as they can be avoided… It’s the sound of failure.”

It leads to a 404 page on my end.

I once heard someone claim that we've somehow completely "bred away" any maternal instincts from dairy cows. So it's perfectly okay to forcibly separate them from their calves.

It's crazy to hear the various bizzare ways people use to try to justify and cope with their habits.

The barrage of "X not Y" almost made me think that this was AI-generated. But I guess some people just talk like that.

Well, Motorola's next flagship is shipping with GrapheneOS, so we'll see.

And I don't see how the name "GrapheneOS" is any worse than "Android". Really, the biggest barriers to adoption are:

- No phones come with it pre-installed (yet)

- They only work with Pixel phones (for now)

- Some apps like certain banking apps don't work
