GrapheneOS does not want to adopt RCS for public perception. It is still a better option than SMS/MMS and providing it is beneficial. GrapheneOS will still recommend using better platforms and protocols but RCS being bundled and cross

The main benefit of RCS is the fact it is available by default on other platforms like certified android and IOS. 3rd party messaging apps hit adoptability issues. A bundled, cross platform E2EE protocol is a huge step above SMS and MMS. Ma

Their license is invalid due to being GPLv3. GPLv3 cannot be included in GrapheneOS as that would necessitate GrapheneOS give up their permissive licensing. Refra Gallery is licensed as Apache 2.0, which is a permissive license GrapheneOS c

GrapheneOS is a privacy first project. Security is improved for the sake of privacy.

I think they mean "this is a terrible development" in the sense that this is terrible news/turn of events. They arent criticizing GrapheneOSs software development.

What problems are you referring to?

It is not petty to correct misinformation. You are downplaying the seriousness of the situation by painting it as some kind of drama. /e/OS objectively has poor privacy and security for numerous reasons, there was no "falling

Refusing to work with organizations or individuals that are detrimental to privacy and security is not petty. Murena does not provide private or secure products and has positioned itself to be against what GrapheneOS provides. A partnership

That would not be viable because the hardware does not support it. It cannot be implemented in the OS because the OS can be turned off or exploited endlessly. For GOS to consider it, it would likely need to be backed by the secure element.

At the time of writing, within ~12 months, in 2027, the 2027 Signature, Razr fold, and Razr flip will meet the hardware security requirements and should have official GrapheneOS support. Motorola is currently porting GrapheneOS to their dev

GrapheneOS does not offer a feature to wipe the device based on failed attempts.
42.
by HybridStatAnim8 2mo ago
That would be a bad idea. GrapheneOS operates under the assumption that every attacker has encyclopedic knowledge of GOS at all times. This is by far not an unreasonable assumption. GrapheneOS does not add features relying on ignorance that

Saying "and that is a fact" doesnt somehow make it a fact. Youre making stuff up. You will gain privacy by using GrapheneOS. The wifi and cellular hardware are not compromised. GrapheneOS only supports devices that meet the baseli

GrapheneOS provides verification steps at the end of both installation methods to ensure your install is genuine.

This is not an issue with GrapheneOS, this is an issue with your configuration, which is trivial to solve. All of those apps support using google services FCM for push notification delivery. I dont think Telegram has a fallback, and Signal

Thats... exactly what they did. They relied on secrecy and hidden locations to aid their cause. Like... this is how the entire underground railroad and many other examples worked out.

If you are referring to GrapheneOS, there is nothing that GrapheneOS offers or advertises that "explicitly protects criminals". GrapheneOS is not for criminals, its not aimed at criminals, its not designed for criminals. Not impli

GrapheneOS does not interfere with law enforcement doing their jobs. Thats like saying the right to remain silent interferes with law enforcement doing their jobs. Law enforcement has one job, enforcing the law, and that includes following

GrapheneOS doesnt implement its own attestation. It simply inherits the existing, generic attestation system provided in the android open source project. Any fork of AOSP can provide this, the keys would just need to be whitelisted per OS.

by HybridStatAnim8 3mo ago
Android is not at the expense of either freedom or privacy. Desktop Linux OSs come at the cost of both. It would be better to direct effort to AOSP projects as it is a much better base to build from.

Fairphone and Nothing do not come anywhere close to meeting the criteria for GrapheneOS device support.

by HybridStatAnim8 3mo ago
The Android family of operating systems and the forks made from the android open source project are all linux distributions, and linux phones. Using desktop linux phones and trying to force that as a norm would set privacy and security back

No, official GrapheneOS is an ideal method to control data. As a part of this, they also provide build documentation for whatever you want to do. It is FOSS, after all. To be clear, I am NOT advising root access. I am not contradicting myse

This claim is false. Isolation and protection from the kernel is vital and it is already targeted for exploitation, and will be targeted even more as time goes on. Properly updating the kernel and improving its isolation and security is the

Most of the hardware security requirements are met by multiple lines of devices. The issue is, not all of them are met. Many have poor updates or intentionally cripple standard features for anti competitive reasons. So no, they are not &q

GrapheneOS is great, and easy to use. Sandboxed google play can run your maps apps that depend on google play without issue.

Thats are improving peoples security overall by only using pixels at this time. Nothing else currently meets the hardware security requirements except pixel devices. To use subpar hardware would set the security back substantially. They are

You would install your own build of GrapheneOS. Not the official images. Its not advisable to run anything as root, at all. Or expose access to it in any form. You can make userdebug builds to access a form of root that doesnt undermine the

You dont have the ability to guarantee you have overridden anything. The integrity of the OS cannot be verified and anything with root can lie to you that it was revoked. It does not put power in your hands. Installing your own build does w

Being the administrator and being able to sidestep OS protections are not the same thing. Without root, the user is in control of what application does what and how. With root, the user is not. Root is not freedom or ownership, like many tr
