Im extremely grateful to have caught wind of this community and this product. Im waiting to hear that phones have shipped before I purchase and wondering how would Brax3 hold up to the dark forces of Planatir?

Good question. I would think the larger AOSP and cell netowrk ecosystems are where that assessment should be; but I am not super familiar with all of how palantir operates. So, forgive my ignorance on the topic. I would be interested in an answer to this as well. Iode seems like a great platform.

Fun fact - Palantir was founded 22 years ago May 9, 2003. They’ve been up to their highjinx since then. Whatever you (or anybody) were worried about them doing to them - they did it already. They weren’t sitting around 22 years waiting on Trump.

Let’s not pretend either party is more corrupt in this regard. The US essentially has a uniparty. Any appearance of conflict between the “2 parties” is a ruse to divide the population. Government and private company cooperation/corruption is the norm. This is the definition of fascism and both sides are guilty. None of this is a product of free market capitalism. True free markets with healthy competition hasn’t existed in the US in decades, at least.
Companies do not naturally get to be the size of these super large corporations without the government corruption necessary to pass laws that limit competition against them. This is why lobbysists exist, to seek this market corruping, anti-competition influence. Large companies cannot be as agile as they need to be in order to remain competitive in normally healthy markets. This self-regulates to a degree when the government stays out of “assisting” the market by passing laws that favor large companies.

Yes, totally agree. This is what motivates me to support projects like Brax. I hope there are more renegades that choose to create the tech we want to see in the world vs. what the mega corps try to force us to use.
