> Long is gone the time where unlocking bootloaders and installing custom ROMs was the best path to follow. ...wha? I just installed GrapheneOS on my Pixel 8 Pro and it is, by a decent margin, the best custom ROM experience on a phone I've had to date.

    I'm just disappointed that they associate with Discord at all, given that it is the antithesis of privacy and Freedom.

      The focus is security. Be disappointed in all the other free platforms that cannot provide adequate moderation or stability. Do you happen to know a suitable alternative?

      I’m disappointed that you associate with Hacker News given the (presumably) myriad anti-Freedom anti-privacy startups Y Combinator has funded.

  If I remember correctly, their matrix channel was flooding with spam and abuse which was primarily coming from Calyx, which by the way is an terrible OS. Even a stock OS would perform marginally better in terms of security than CalyxOS

I have it on my Pixel 7a, and it's a great experience, but I also don't need to run apps that check for phone "security" or integrity. This is the case OP is talking about. https://grapheneos.org/usage#banking-apps https://grapheneos.org/usage#banking-apps
