@mailmamshawn @arstechnica If you haven't already, I recommending checking out @organicmaps. It is a great privacy respecting @openstreetmap app with a clean and easy user interface
@hiisikoloart @arstechnica X is banned in China for the same reason Tik Tok is banned in China. The Chinese government prohibits any social media that is not "appropriately" censored by the State.
Tik Tok may be banned in the US for separate (mostly economic protectionist IMO) reasons under the guise of national security concerns.

@GrapheneOS Uber Driver now works with Graphene and has since about October. Or at least it works for me.
I am in the USA.
@tylnesh I'm still hoping that we have an open ecosystem of packages instead of packages controlled by a single vendor a la snap. Maybe flatpak will get a system like this some day.
@cas I'm too much of a pedant to refer to an operating system as "Linux". Linux is a kernel. An OS could be GNU, SystemD, or even Ubuntu. But as a pedant I don't like the "Linux operating system".
I try to be more mature than I once was so I try not to correct people when they use colloquial terms for their OS's. But Android is Linux and it annoys my pedant heart when someone says it isn't "real Linux".
PostmarketOS is also Linux (though not GNU). I love the term SystemD/Linux.
@dimitrisk I had similar experience with Linux Mobile devices. I used a snapdragon 845 device (OnePlus 6) which is also fairly well supported by Mainline Linux. I absolutely agree with you on the "phone" part. I love my Linux Mobile devices (and miss them now that I only use Android again).
@b0rk the only practical use I have found for this is that Emacs interprets Ctrl-J and Enter slightly differently when used in the minibuffer. Ctrl-J enters a literal newline in the minibuffer while Enter "executes the command" or whatever it's called (I don't know, I'm not an emacs guy i just use it).
"Falcon Heavy may someday come about. It's on the drawing board right now. SLS is real."
- Charles Borden, Administrator of NASA in 2014 discussing the "need" for NASA's SLS (which has since only flown one test flight).
I wouldn't bet against SpaceX ruling the space flight industry, even with a rocket that isn't (yet) finished.
Key Takeaways: Obviously this wasn't Uber Support. I knew this and only "verified" information that the caller already had. But if I wasn't very savvy at detecting phishing scams, I would have fallen for this. The caller knew the names of my previous and current riders. I don't know where the caller got this information, but that was downright terrifying. How does the caller (who is clearly a scammer), know who I just gave a ride to and who I am about to give a ride to?
