"We’ve reached out to Google to inquire about why a custom ROM created by volunteers [@grapheneos.org] is more resistant to industrial phone hacking than the official Pixel OS. We’ll update this article if Google has anything to say." arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025...
Leaker reveals which Pixels are vulnerable to Cellebrite phone hacking
Cellebrite can apparently extract data from most Pixel phones, unless they’re running GrapheneOS.

58 missiles and 194 drones fired on Ukraine last night.
That's how Russia "wants peace" while Trump keeps twisting Ukraine's arms.

Agree. At this point, you disrespect Ukraine, you disrespect Europe.
This would’ve been unacceptable towards any European leader but the fact that Zelenskyy leads a country at war makes it the greatest possible insult.

Can't see how Europe and the US can reconcile frankly. The reception to Zelensky among EU leaders vs this doesn't seem bridgeable. This is going to play awfully in every chancellery across Europe. A big split is coming
BREAKING: There has just been a huge argument between Zelenskyy, Trump & Vance in the Oval Office.
Trump calls Zelenskyy disrespectful and says he “is no position to dictate” to the US.
Trump raises his voice to Zelenskyy. He can’t stand someone standing up to him.
This is unbelievable.

When Russia invaded Ukraine, Finland’s then-president Niinistö said that the masks had fallen.
If anyone was still clinging onto some kind of hope of Trump coming around on Ukraine, this disgrace of a press conference should make everything clear now.
Trump is anti-Ukraine. Pro-Russia.
