  1. RE: zeroes.ca/@kimcrawley/11723592

    I'm extremely disappointed in Graphene. They've been a project with many controversies, but I was genuinely excited to get my hands on a Pixel in order to use this ROM that appeared to be one of the best ones out there, with Sandboxed Google Play, Android Auto, et al. I thought that they may finally be on the right track after seeing that they got a partnership with a hardware vendor. I thought that I could happily escape the Apple garden with their ROM.

    I am sorry to say that this is not the case. They have returned to their old self, or rather never changed. Because I'm sick of this corpospeak bullshit, and I'm sad it has infected them too. Like the days of before, they focus on their reputation at the expense of alienating users.

    When somebody expresses their discontent at Graphene using AI, they deflect by copy-pasting a link to Lineage's AI policy instead of answering questions. Just like the past.

    I thought they were getting better after that restructuring. I see that I was wrong.

    (Recommendations welcome in the replies! I was mostly interested in them for their Sandboxed Google Play and Android Auto support. I might wait until Linux phones are available in my country, or get some sort of open-source-powered dumb phone, or just use an Android ROM. But unless Graphene amends things, I probably won't be switching to their ROM anytime soon.)

  2. @GrapheneOS I am displeased to hear you allow AI PRs. It would be nice to see some data that proves your contractors are actually more effective using these tools; that would justify their use rather than taking your word for it. #AI #grapheneos

  6. My phone has a year of updates left. Any suggestions what to get after that?

    If I don't find a less bad option, it will be Graphene OS again, even with slop. :(

    Mobile Linux is unfortunately not an option yet. I need reliable Bluetooth & calls, one Android-only app that is relatively low-level, two apps by banks, Gadgetbridge, Signal, and I'd like to use Öffo NG.

    iOS or googled Android are not an option. I want some privacy and install whatever I want.
    No phone or dumb phone don't work either.
    Old Android or less than 5 years of updates don't make sense either because then I could also keep using this phone. (And I want updates!)

  7. Attacking projects like #GrapheneOS or #Linux for using AI to discover vulnerabilities makes no sense. If you're running a critical piece of software, you want to have every tool in your disposal to discover and patch them proactively. What's the alternative here? Take the moral ground and pretend that bad actors will not discover them first using AI? You are not making a todo app here, real people will get hurt. There are plenty of reasons to criticize usage of AI, but this is not one of them.

  8. Ich reise sehr entspannt (zum zweiten Mal) mit meiner Familie durch Irland 🇮🇪 und genieße das Gefühl, dabei NICHT von Google begleitet zu werden. Und ein konsequentes digitales Vorleben trägt bereits erste Früchte: Eines meiner Kinder verzichtet freiwillig auf Dienste von Google, Meta u.v.a. trotz vieler Umstände, die sich für sie daraus ergeben (bspw. [...]"wie, Du hast kein WhatsApp?"[...]).

    Ja, ich ich bin ein stolzer Papa und glücklicher Ehemann ❤️

  9. A mí que me expliquen cómo #GrapheneOS está emperrado en usar el hardware de Google porque es el único que proporciona la seguridad a la que aspiran, pero luego contratan a externos, y les dejan usar herramientas de IA de terceros para desarrollar. 🤷

  10. @lystopad There are two "Motorola"s. #GrapheneOS is working with the mobile phone brand formerly owned by Google. Motorola Solutions is a different company.

  11. GrapheneOS version 2026090700 released:

    grapheneos.org/releases#202609

    See the linked release notes for a summary of the improvements over the previous release.

  12. FYI if you use #GrapheneOS and try to open PayPal, it will very promptly crash.

    Fortunately there is an easy temporary fix:

  13. @Sagesse Wenn viel Geld vorhanden ist, dann ist wahrscheinlich das neue Motorola mit #GrapheneOS am empfehlenswertesten: heise.de/news/GrapheneOS-und-M… - ansonsten gibt es auf kleinanzeigen günstige Pixel 8 und aufwärts, die mit GrapheneOS bespielt werden können: grapheneos.org/install/web - falls das zu schwierig sein sollte, wird einem gut und gerne auch mal beim Hackerspace in der nächsten größeren Stadt geholfen :)
  14. Ich bin wirklich dankbar, dass es Projekte wie #GrapheneOS gibt. Denn wir müssen nicht alles hinnehmen, was uns vorgesetzt wird. Es gibt Auswege. Es gibt Alternativen. Das ist doch #Freiheit oder?

  15. Well I figured out how far I could go last night, while setting up my newest Graphene OS phone.

    I created new google account. From my arch laptop. It required not just a phone number (VoIP) but a cellular phone number. If you try this from you computer, you are still coerced into giving up your sim number.

    Once you're on your phone signing in, Google will once again get your permission to dive into your phone to verify your sim number. This locks your account, to the device and to your number. I got past that curve with a prepaid cellular account with an alias.

    I was unsuccessful on spoofing my location. Which triggered the US age verification. Which include, GEO location from your phone, your government issued ID, and two on the spot photo scans of you head and face. Like a mug shot. So I'd stopped before any of that intrusion. This will fully tie your identity to your device, the account, anyone or anything you do from that account and will follow you around digitally and physically.

    So my layered approach is cut a bit short but I think it will do for now. Web apps when I can.

    Zitat: "GrapheneOS sei schwierig. Erste entsprechende Geräte würden inzwischen auch in der forensischen Sicherung auftauchen."

  17. Okay #askFedi, I really need your help on this one.

    When moving phones to my new #grapheneOS pixel, my whatsapp has been "need the official #WhatsApp to log in" shadow banned.

    I have a couple more numbers, and I believe using a new account *should* work. The problem is, people KNOW me as my older number

    If I were to migrate numbers on whatsapp on a googled phone, would my new number (same account) still be banned?

    Is there another solution I am missing here?

  20. Kokeilussa GrapheneOS

    Sain takaisin lainassa olleen Pixel 6a -puhelimeni. Tämä mahdollistaa helpommin kokeilut GrapheneOS-käyttöjärjestelmän kanssa. Googlen Pixel-puhelimiin on pitkään ollut tarjolla vaihtoehtoisia käyttöjärjestelmiä. Minua on kiinnostanut pitkään tuo GrapheneOS. Onneksi vanha Pixel 6a ei ole liian vanha, https://grapheneos.org/faq#supported-devices , joten siihen on saatavilla asennustiedosto ohjelmiston kotisivuilta. Asennus onnistuu joko komentoriviä käyttäen tai […]

  21. 🚨 Breaking news! #GrapheneOS, in a bold move, jazzes up its #clipboard with "security" and swaps mundane apps for shinier ones, as if anyone actually uses their phone for, you know, calling. 📞🔒 Meanwhile, they struggle with #Mastodon, reminding us all that enabling #JavaScript is still a high-tech wizardry. 🧙‍♂️✨

  26. Neben allerhand schlechter Nachrichten auch noch was Positives zum heutigen #DIDay:
    Smartphone läuft nun unter #GrapheneOS . Im Hauptprofil dank #UnifiedPush tatsächlich komplett ohne Google. Interessante Funktion: DuressPIN. Wer weiss, wozu man die irgendwann nicht doch mal braucht...

    Einzig die Üstra-Sprinti-Rufbus-App wollte partout nicht ohne US-Bigtech. Da wird dann jetzt wieder ganz analog angerufen.

    Fossify Gallery is FOSS and worth looking at as a gallery app. Keyboardwise I suggest looking at Florisboard. It's FOSS and has swipe. They disabled autocomplete a while back, saying they're overhauling it. It's not back yet, but my understanding is it just needs some extra love, which maybe you could collaborate on.
