Great, finally some Sodium batteries that are not made in China.
Good for Brazilians I guess
And deal with all the bloatware, all the proprietary nonsense that sends your data to Google who then sell it to like a million other companies and give it to the government whenever they ask for it
A while back AMD did say they were looking to open up a lot of the boot stack but I haven’t heard anything sense.
I think that was mostly for server CPUs/chipsets
Definitely go ahead and tell your bank that you are annoyed by their mobile app only working on the stock OS. Call them, send them an email, whatever. If enough people complain or even threaten to switch banks over this, they might add better support using actual secure hardware-based attestation, which also works on GrapheneOS.
I even switched banks because of their ridiculous requirements for the mobile app, just so I could continue using GrapheneOS. I know that Graphene is much more secure than any other Android-based OS, and running my banking app on it is much safer than on another device. Banks should finally realize this too, which is why we need to complain.
It's impossible to brick a Pixel while flashing GrapheneOS, thanks to their super easy to use Web-based installer, and Google's great support for alternative operating systems, which also makes the installation process easier and safer.
If you mess anything up, you can always restart from the beginning and get it fixed. You can't break a Pixel during flashing.
Pretty hard to distinguish from Elon's actual scams
On the Fediverse: Mastodon
Outside the Fediverse: Instagram
I used to use Reddit pretty actively, but I haven't logged into my account since June 2023. I also used Twitter occasionally, but completely stopped when Elon the dickhead took it over. But I was already aware of the Fediverse and had a Mastodon account before the Elon takeover. I somehow never discovered Lemmy before the Reddit API crisis, even though I was actively looking for federated Reddit alternatives around the same time I started caring about privacy, digital freedom and using more open source software and decentralized services.
Any reasons for that?
which kind of kills half the point of using GrapheneOS in the first place
Absolutely not. Google Play services are much less invasive on GrapheneOS compared to other ROMs or the stock OS, since they run in the normal Android app sandbox, just like any other app you install. You can control all permissions, and uninstall them at any time. They do not get any special privileges, as it would be the case when running stock Android. You can also confine Play services in a separate user profile or in a work profile through an app like Shelter (user profiles offer better isolation).
If you’re not (e.g. you install via Aurora), then it’s incredibly unlikely your bank will work.
As I said, it highly depends on your specific bank. My bank in Germany works totally fine on GrapheneOS without Play Services. YMMV. That's why I linked to that list.
Debian if you are new to Linux servers and self-hosting. Alpine if you get more advanced and just want something very light-weight and minimal.
