"RutheniumOS" is a scam

https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/10734-russian-fork-of-grapheneos-making-inaccurate-marketing-claims/4

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!

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.

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.

Agreed.

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.

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.

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
