What do I read as a non-native speaker?
> Now you can divorce easily using Android phone from Huawei
> Huawei makes divorce from Android official means "Huawei has officially separated from Android and will no longer be using it in any way".
You see this way America never gets spyware status. Neither does America get powerful enough that its backers become afraid of America.
No, America doesn't need the courts to access the data from the corporations because the corporations just sell it to law enforcement.
Every single American company that touches computers has an enthusiastic side hustle as a snitch.
Carve out your sovereignty where you can, yknow?
It’s harder to dodge US spying when every other traffic light has network connected cameras on them… and I pay taxes… there’s no dodging it.
It’s much easier to not buy Chinese spyware phones.

EDIT: according to https://blog.csdn.net/qiushi_1990/article/details/140528431 from 19.07.2024 those are the languages supported for writing apps, not necessarily the implementation language(s) for the μk?

> The core kernel of HM is implemented primarily in a confined subset of C, consisting of 90k lines of code (LoC), which includes the basic functionalities. All other OS services are decoupled and can be deployed individually, totaling over 1 million LoC. The HM’s build system can assemble the OS services based on detailed configurations specified for various scenarios, such as placing OS services in different isolation classes or coalescing some OS services.
They may have started with stolen IP, but they're actually just ahead now - thinner, faster, lighter, better.
This applies to hardware, but their software isn't bad either - 15 years in most phone OS are kind of the same shit with only minor differences.
But sure Google, Apple, Microsoft keep trying to sell us shitty services for your balance sheet and ignoring what got you dominant i.e. building great products.
Everyone is spying on you.
But I don't live in China
Edit: anyway it's a false premise, China has 1.4 billion people living there, do you really think 1.4 billion people do not criticize ever the government? USA has the highest rate of incarceration per capita in the World, there a say that goes "the biggest prize a journalist can win it's not the Pulitzer, it's being killed by the CIA" the DoD is the largest emplyer in the world, NSA has the largest budget in the world, I do not believe it's all spent in defense (DoD used to be named department of war) and oversimplification doesn't really explain things it only keeps stereotypes alive IMO.
I think it's really, really weird that some people care more about how bad $OTHER is than problems at home.
I'm happy a handful of people protesting can't impact a policy, that would be anti-democratic.
It's not really very pro human rights to go around doxing the people who are working for human rights in those places. There was nothing in the government crimes or alleged crimes in the documents that needed to be released before the documents had been thoroughly reviewed and the information on people not involved redacted.
This is the big difference I see with the Edward Snowden case, the papers that published the leaked documents attempted to redact any information that could put people at risk.
Assange and Wikileaks just went fuck it and didn't even try to stay politically neutral.
Now name a brand that sells grapheneOS phones
Google isn't an Angel but I'll take the skynet we know vs the skynet we don't.
the top answer on https://www.zhihu.com/question/640078375/answer/3367442919 suggests it was based on the Minix 3 μk, but the bottom answer claims it's greenfield development.
(someone who cares more than I do could buy one of the devices listed in the middle answer and enlighten us as to what's on it?)
EDIT: looks not-minixy to me, according to Huawei's OSDI slides: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41934156
In HarmonyOS NEXT, kernel objects are used as carriers for data transmission during IPC communication. The CAPABILITY SYSTEM ensures that only those with the capability to read from or write to kernel objects can receive or send messages through these objects. As a result, the content of messages cannot be accessed by malicious processes. DarkNavy ethical cybersecurity group in China tested Huawei's HarmonyOS Next custom kernel earlier this year with a report released in June. https://www.darknavy.org/blog/avss_report_kernel/ and the toolchain is exposed: https://harmonyoshub.com/harmonyos-next-leak-exposes-the-in-...
