Almost a year exclusively using GrapheneOS for mobile and (many years before that) GNU/Linux for all my computing.
How quickly one gets spoiled. Found myself obliged over the past few days to help relatives use Windows and iOS. It was deeply shocking.
Windows on newish hardware is so slow that I didn't think it was responding. To say nothing of the privacy and usability nightmare.
And the Apple ratchet has tightened down a few more clicks in a year. A very high quality third party app that I bought years ago now appears in a new version "with in-app purchases," and the splash screen requires me to sign in via Google or Facebook. Perfectly ghastly.
#Librewolf debe ser el único navegador que ofrece buenas #alternativas en materia de buscadores por defecto. En este aspecto ni siquiera #Vanadium de #GrapheneOS acierta. El mérito donde procede.

Auch bei 'meinen' / den von mir 'verwalteten' drei #grapheneos Geräten bisher keine Chance zum OptOut. Auch schon beim Vorgänger von #utiq (#trustpid) ging es nicht. Wollte es gleich mal mit nem Notebook via WLanHotspot probieren.
Ein absolutes #NoGo! Jährlich? Und jeder NICHT #digitalnatives erfährt davon erst garnichts. 🤬
Feeling tempted to install GrapheneOS on my Pixel 7a, but am afraid I'll screw something up as a semi-technical person and will lose my warranty etc. Can I bring back Android ROM in case something goes wrong... ?
my wife needs to work with the instagram app for work (yes, I know, but it is that way). So we installed it in a work profile on her android phone (to keep the data in the normal profile safe from the app). The phone is running #GrapheneOS perfectly fine.
Unfortunately, she cannot access the pictures on the normal profile from the instagram app. File shuttle is enabled in shelter and works in the files app, but apparently not from the instagram app. At least we find no way to access the files.
Has anyone done this before? Any hints, tips or tricks?
Great. After a couple of years of using the Starling Bank app with @GrapheneOS with zero issues, I received a warning today that "your device hasn't passed our security checks"
13 days to factory restore to stock Android, apparently, or I won't be able to use the app on this device.
Anyone else have this issue? I haven't ever been able to use Google Wallet with bank cards on #GrapheneOS but that hasn't been a problem.
Novel Attack Against Virtually All VPN Apps Neuters Their Entire Purpose
" . . Neuters Their Entire Purpose"
Researchers have discovered a new attack that can force VPN applications to route traffic outside the encrypted tunnel, thereby exposing the user's traffic to potential snooping or manipulation.
This vulnerability, named TunnelVision, is found in almost all VPNs on non-Linux and non-Android systems.
