Monopolies hold because companies engage in foul play to hold their monopolies. When Google goes out and pays Apple billions to default to Google Search, that is not a regulatory hurdle, nor is Google using its position as the Android platform maintainer and bundling Google Search with Play Services.

> podman, unfortunately IMO, is also written in go.

Podman, by default, uses crun as the container runtime, which is written completely in C. Podman is basically just a frontend for managing running containers.

The trap is already here for me. When I make a passkey for my corporate microsoft account, I'm only allowed to use Microsoft Authenticator on an approved device (it's not a work provided phone. Microsoft Authenticator doesn't work with rooted phones). This is not some mythical change that will happen tomorrow. It's already here for me and has made me dedicate a device, just for using passkeys for work.

hfsplus driver supports write for both journaled and non-journaled partitions, though it only mounts r/w by default for non-journaled partitions.

You can access an encrypted HFS+ partition from macOS and Linux machines natively. Very useful for sharing data between Asahi and macOS, and in general between Linux machines and macOS.

> lacking security is not "full ownership"

It kind of is. A locked box with no key, is a very secure device with no utility. If I can't unlock the box ever, just because someone could steal my key and unlock it as well, doesn't make the box an example of a perfect security model.

The issue with taking away root access, and providing no alternative for modifying installed apps, it's just taking away rights from user. An app can modify its own data (which is fine), but a user modifying the data of an app is somehow a big no no. GOS also provides no proper firewall solution, other than the stupid VPN-based solutions available on Android.

If the intention of GrapheneOS is to serve the app developers and not the owner of the device, it should just say so.

Packman is more akin to rpmfusion, than AUR. OBS is the AUR equivalent for OpenSUSE.

And how exactly did the BSD license make creating Valkey easier? GPL and BSD licenses both have the source in the open. Anyone creating a fork, can easily do so for either BSD or GPL licensed projects. Since Redis is a database, which the user won't be using a binary of, even using a fork of a supposedly GPL-licensed Redis would not require you to share your modifications with your user, same as BSD.
