RutheniumOS is a fork of GrapheneOS with very broad claims and also accusations toward GrapheneOS.

They throw around claims that are not true, which is a common (Brax, Punkt) but ugly practice.

Dont use it Guys!

Is RutheniumOS open source?

Doesn't seems like it. Had some difficulties finding it, because it's mostly only on Telegram

Why is everything a video or a chatroom instead of a properly documented webpage, I will never understand.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Takes time and resources to setup a web page. Takes 5 seconds to spin up a discord server or a telegram group and they handle all access control. Not my preference, but for ease of deployment a lot of people prefer to launch there.

If you won't even take the effort to setup a proper homepage for your software (could literally be done in minutes these days), it probably sucks anyway.

Even just a GitHub README is enough most of the time.

I somewhat share this sentiment but I was also just answering the question. There are actual reasons one would want to host documentation/etc on a already realized provider vs infrastructure they'd have to configure and potentially pay for themselves.

Well then, it can't be trusted at all.
Who's to say they haven't loaded it with spyware.
Only OS's worth any privacy conscious persons time are FOSS ones.

RuStore... what a joke

Care to elaborate on what is wrong with Brax? I don't use his services but his video content seems to be a decent way to get normies on the path to thinking about privacy issues.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

He is said to tell untrue things, convince people that they should do or use things that are snakeoil.

I will have to look myself, in general its simply that you should really crosscheck everything he sais

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

Are you perhaps referring to Rob Braxman Tech?
I have found his content to be clickbaity and he very often repeats or reiterates the same thing over and over to drag out the video. It's extremely annoying.
