Yeah, as the title goes, things are getting bad out there. The Mastodon post says more about it than I can atm.

Even alt mobile OSes are actively being targeted based on what's been happening with GrapheneOS lately, and what's stopping that apparent 'war on GrapheneOS' from extending to things like Linux or BSD on the desktop too?

this is proof stuff like alt oses and foss work to keep them out, keep at it.

prepare for more overzealousness with "security", though.

Maybe they didn't see it right away. I myself didn't hear about this until earlier today.
