Comment you're replying to should've specified afterwards. Feature that were never there is very different than pay walling a such essential feature.

It can be a factual statement about the commercial VPN landscape at large, but an incorrect statement about many individual VPN providers. It lacks nuance as a statement.

A very relevant article: "On the security of plugins" (in notes app)

It was announced a while ago to be Mororola: https://motorolanews.com/motorola-three-new-b2b-solutions-at...

Motorola devices that match the GrapheneOS requirements are coming next year. It's good thing they're not compromising on hardware requirements that would undermine the goals of the project. If there's anyone to blame it's the dismal state of affairs on the hardware security side of my most Android phone manufacturers.

Their app also blocks the use of it on GrapheneOS, for no proper reason.

Agreed. Sandboxed Google play really is the non-tinkerer's approach on GOS, including for Android Auto.

Fox news, the biggest mass media in US by far, doesn't seem to drive this narrative

Are you behind finnish IP? The site owner decided to ban all Finnish IPs due to a dispute with Finnish person who doesn't even seem to be living there. Also they DDoSed their blog leading to archive.is being banned from wikipedia

Pixel camera app is fully supported by GOS, you just install it from Play store (or from other sources). If you don't have Google Photos installed the last photo preview won't work, but you can install a 'shim' app that fixes it without need for Photos app: https://github.com/lukaspieper/Gcam-Services-Provider

Sandboxed Google Play receives no special access at all, so you can deny it all permissions if you want, but you should grant network (and maybe notifications) permission for it to actually function.

The claim that it actually has any measurable effect on the collective health and well-being currently lacks any proof besides "intuition".

Motorola just made a deal with GrapheneOS, so I'd vager they're going to be around for longer on that basis alone.

It is an entirely realistic scenario which afaik data backs up that most people don't change their default privacy related settings which Google profits from, but in case of actually setting their provided privacy settings ON, they do work.

You can buy used Pixel, effectively not giving money to Google, or buy a Motorola when their GOS phone is released

I also accidentally upgraded due dark pattern of auto-selecting Sequoia instead of update for Sonoma. Now my external monitor won't wake up when waking my macbook from sleep (in clamshell mode, lid always closed). Nothing fixes it, beyond infuriating.

The attack was reportedly timed for a surprise attack on Iranian leaders who happened to be in the same location at this time. They even attacked during the daytime for a risky surprise attack. To suggest the attack had anything to do with the holiday is beyond ridiculous. Also ridiculous to think they would intentionally attack a random school.

Much of the content online is already AI generated, and many websites have their code AI generated, so you'd soon be left with nothing but blank pages. :)

You are not independent from Google if you purchase an android device from another manufacturer. You're then having your data sent to both Google and that manufacturer, resulting in far worse privacy overall than with just Google, not to mention worse security at hardware level. If you don't want to "support" Google, just buy any used Pixel 6 to 10 series.

It was a legally mandated court order they couldn't just refuse. No encrypted data, the contents of their emails, was handed over. The person would've also been safe had they used vpn/tor as I recall the story.

It's easy to say this in hindsight

Secure folder uses or is in the process of starting to use Android native feature private space, which is available on all Android 15 phones.

Those downvote campaigns could easily come from bots and not real users.

If you use rounded or outline variants it's a bit different at least. There's also the two-tone variant which at least I haven't seen used much

1. It's not possible to root GrapheneOS or any Android-based OS and preserve the Android security model. That would run entirely counter to the goal of the GOS. It can be done but shouldn't.

2. They have implemented kill switches for these on the software level. Afaik there's nothing up dispute these working just as well as hardware switches assuming proper verified install of GOS.

Microsoft authenticator should work on GOS, I can only find single person saying it doesn't but there's plenty of reasons it might not work for them (vpn, too strict exploit protection settings). And there's multiple people mentioning it working fine.
