Depends on the use case. I played around with it a lot and came to the conclusion that I don't like flatpaks and the base system is not flexible enough for me.
I use it as a self-updating desktop for my parents tho,. For that it's absolutely perfect.
@BigBlackCockroach Have you heard of https://nostr.com/ ?
Should be of interest to you.
It's censorship resistant by design and you can get 100% censorship resistance by running your own relay (server which transfers the data between the clients).
It's a protocol, so all kinds of different applications can be implemented with it. Something like mastodon already exists.
@SomeBoyo Yeah that's the normal devices guarantee you also get with normal android on pixel devices. So in terms of longevity GrapheneOS doesn't offer any advantages. There are other advantages of course.
@SaltyIceteaMaker I installed miniflux, a rss reader, on it. Sadly android constantly kills the internet connecting when the screen turns off, so I can't use it as a server to access it from my other devices. I have tried everything I could find to prevent that from happening.
@SomeBoyo What "long term support"? Official GrapheneOS releases for a device end when the official Android support ends because they don't support hardware where the firmware is not updated anymore. Or did that change recently?
@DasRubberDuck Thew lack of community federation was super confused for me in the very beginning. Personally i think, communities would be the most important part to federate, cause that data would be lost otherwise if an instance goes down. I could live with loosing my account and my "connections" to other people but loosing all the information in all those communities would be horrible.
@shazbot Hey thanks for the replay, I am aware. For some reason the latest version of KES got installed alongside the existing 1.20 version I was using for what ever reason. Now everything works tho. Thanks again, love the script.
@shazbot I am on version 2.1.0 but I don't see any of the new features as far as I can tell. From what I can see only the "addons" from the previous version show up in the settings menu.
*edit: Ah my bad, you have to actively install the update by pressing the green button. That's a little intuitive. This is the first userscript I encounter that doesn't have auto updates.
