@GrapheneOS you don't need to bash other OS providers. Everyone who has used #grapheneos will know it's qualities. Bashing just looks bad for GrapheneOS and won't convince new users.

@GrapheneOS just made the transition from #iOS to #grapheneos and it was as easy as it could be.
BTW: the web installer runs perfectly on my #alpinelinux based laptop

Awesome work guys

@pl I think #grapheneos has a way to deal with wallets but I could very well be wrong. I have rarely used Google for that as they are ready to set up online payments but make ending them as complicated as possible.

@lazycouchpotato @GreenEngineering3475 I want to buy a pixel and get started with #GrapheneOS, I have wondered about 8g of ram. I had been thinking it would be enough because I am not interested in AI features. From your comment I am thinking more than 8g of ram might be an advantage even aside from ai.

@alsutton Hope this doesn't make things difficult for #grapheneos

@arstechnica @GrapheneOS so does this mean that less transparent Google Android development won't adversely affect downstream #AltROM development for things like #GrapheneOS and #LineageOS or is it more complicated than that?

@GrapheneOS @mj1982 result of my first test: #molly actually needs signiticantly less battery than the official #signal app on #googlefree #grapheneos devices. Awesome :-)

@kgw @douglaspynn
These devices have 7 years of support. Thats a long time

#GrapheneOS has started and wants to increasingly use virtual machines

Will enable the use of desktop operating system VMs, then opening their applications from GrapheneOS launcher in a window on Android - primarily for tablets or desktop mode on external display with mouse & keyboard

Also enable stronger isolation of android apps, or sets of app, by running them in a vm

Doing these things requires significant RAM

@fsx @ueeu @sailmates You can use @GrapheneOS with Sandboxed Google Play. Nearly all apps, including banking apps, are supported. It's highly secure & private while retaining great usability.

Kennt ihr in der CH nutzbare Handyzahlapps (also "Handy als kontaktlose Kreditkarte"), die unter #GrapheneOS funktionieren?

@rwg @gaian @clive @RoyBrander

Sound point regarding physical access, although I suspect the legality of compelling someone to unlock their device with a passcode may be up for debate.

For anyone anticipating such an event, I believe GrapheneOS has a "duress" feature (where entering an assigned "duress" pin code to the device wipes it), and - although I've not tried it - there are apps that do something similar.

*edited to add: being logged in as a guest user with a token set of contacts and messages and whatnot is probably the other easy win, although if they're smart enough to notice it may make them grumpy. Some companies advise travellers to fly to specific countries with burner devices, and the company agent gives you a new device when you land. This is usually for the sort of country that will install snooping software on your device when given access (or worse). It is unlikely to become one of those situations.
