NPR quits Twitter after being falsely labeled as ‘state-affiliated media’

CalyxOS relocks the bootloader and they supported the FP5 right after launch.

CalyxOS is not a hardened OS, and GrapheneOS requires more than than just relocking the bootloader.

Fairphone’s devices do not meet basic security requirements for hardware, firmware and the software device support including drivers. Please look at the hardware requirements at https://grapheneos.org/faq#future-devices and check for yourself how many of those are provided by the Fairphone. Even the Fairphone 5 has a CPU core from 2021 without even PAC and BTI.

You can still be part of a project without being lead, to be part of the “we.” Did he contribute and/or is he part of GrapheneOS, yes? So he’s part of the “we.”

Or does only the lead developer get the “we?” Wouldn’t that make it more of an “I” instead?

Why do people phish, dumpster dive, or social engineer? So they can snoop and grab anything of value.

I’d love to have working NFC pay

NFC works. NFC payment is dependent on the app as some block those that fail Play Integrity / Google certification. Google Wallet / Pay does not work for payment because Google blocks it.

Do you have Google services installed? I use MicroG…

Yes, I have Google Plays Services, Google Services Framework, and the Google Play Store installed, which are all sandboxed. MicroG isn’t supported by GrapheneOS.

Nope, nor do I intend to. GrapheneOS frowns upon rooting and modifying the system as it typically widens your attack surface. I’m not using a secure OS then going around to purposefully make it less secure.

but I’m concerned RCS is going to become a deal break for me

For what it’s worth, I have RCS working with GrapheneOS. I don’t think I did anything special, but it did take awhile. I did see stuff on their forum about others having a bigger issue with it, though.

And of course, I prefer Signal, where possible.

I’ve got old apps that won’t work any more.

I’m actually for this. The bar to entry for the Play Store is too low with too many low quality and unmaintained apps. I’m all for booting insecure and super old apps. They cheapen the ecosystem.

Do you pass play integrity?

GrapheneOS, and other non-OEM OSes, do not. It’s kinda the whole point of the article/OP I linked.

I could see things as simple as…

Last I heard, the McDonalds’ app doesn’t work, of all things.

graphene OS. However, with the difficulty to install them, most people will choose not to

GrapheneOS is ridiculously simple.to install. EnableOEM unlocking, boot to fastboot, connect to PC. Then you press four buttons (wait for the buttons to say they’re done) on a browser. Super simple.

Granted, it’s harder than picking up your phone and using the OEM install, but that doesn’t make GrapheneOS difficult to install. The days of using exploits, flashing a custom recovery, flashing a zip, then flashing another for Gapps, maybe one for a kernel, etc…those days are over if you’re using a Pixel with GrapheneOS.

Can we work on expanding existing fiber so most places get at least a single gig fiber first?

Except it’s cheaper to pay their existing non-Linux developers to do something than hire a team of new developers for Linux.

the head of the rider is the most important part

Shh, the AI is listening.

Without their heads, they’re powerless.

so the tire on the bus

Ok, part of the bus.

the helmet of the motorcycle rider

The helmet is not part of a motorcycle. I will fail that captcha every time if it requires it.

the fork “NewPipe Sponsorblock”

Which one? Also…it has been less than 24 hours. Give them time to pull changes.

They’ve taken everything subjective and unspoken about human interaction and reduced it to explicit, objective numbers. I’ve never felt so alive.

if they can’t do what the board needs… They aren’t a good fit either

But does the board need it, or just want it to maximize profits, like boards usually do in their typical chase of infinite growth that isn’t sustainable?

And if the person won’t stick up for what they think is best for the company and the people (which they’ve deemed firing 50 people is that), maybe they’re not a good fit that way. But hey, they are sticking up for said company and 50 people, so maybe they are.
