Can’t speak to what others are saying about Graphene but Calyx is amazing if you prefer a FOSS-centric option but still want GMS/GSF compatibility. Bootloader relocking is a requirement for their devices.
Trying to migrate off of stealth for Reddit so I can stop feeling guilty that I’m still technically using reddit

the one guy on lemmy with calyxos
I am this same person, what this fella said is true for me too
I deleted my account when I heard they were going to roll this out… If I’m using a service you ask me if you can sell me out, you dont give me the option after doing it
Its self hostable now, and I’m my playing around with the self hosted version it seems fine
Its honestly really good now in my experience. Honestly wish people used it instead of Zoom.
Ive been using Jitsi for screen sharing and calls :p
I’m pretty sure its supposed to be Discord. Discords tagline used to start with “Imagine a place where X” which is why theyre saying “Imagine a matrix client” lol
This looks interesting, and if they can get VC & E2EE it will definitely be something I’ll make the switch to from Matrix. As much as I love Matrix, it feels very messy and uncoordinated.
Did you try Cinny?
I’m not sure about for the 5G version, but I was able to bootloader unlock the regular 2021 Stylus using the rescue tool, and install Andy Yangs LineageOS GSI. 4G, calling and text worked like stock. It was kind if a PITA to maintain but it was nice peace of mind.
I know the average Joe doesnt care about security/privacy but, ugh. Really wish we did. Society (at least in the US, where I am) might be a bit less shit if they did. I’m glad to hear that iMessage is a flash in the pan in other countries though, I dont understand why its such a big deal here, especially when Signal/WhatsApp exists and provides a similar seemless experience across more than one platform, but then again you’d hear me complaining about Meta if I lived anywhere else in the world so, really a lose lose for me :(
Gonna be honest I’d much prefer Signal to take off in this regard. In the US iMessage is the closest widely excepted equivalent, but if I’m gonna do WiFi IM, I want to know it is 100% verifiably private. Otherwise I might as well be using SMS/MMS.
I CAN’T 😭😭 THIS SHIT GOT MERGED
If they were to be independently audited by multiple Privacy firms and/or open source their codebase I wouldnt be as concerned about giving them data and maybe even paying for something like YTPremium, but as it stands its a black box. I dont know what theyre doing, why should they get to know what I’m doing? Privacy should be a two way street imho. If the cost of privacy is that they wouldnt be able to maintain their infrastructure, I’d rather see their company fail.
Does google/patreon do country/state/county/province tax calculation? I’d be surprised as when I was working DoorDash they wouldnt even do as much as a free trial of TurboTax to get you started. The wrote you a check and it was on you to figure the rest out
This isnt entirely true. They can fingerprint your browser very easily, even if you use always private sessions that delete cookies. Something as simple as the size of your window can be used to identify you.
Yeah this is also a frustration I have. I dont want to sign up for patreon or Google just to support someone. Give me a Kofi, liberapay or monero option.
Counterpoint here, I really dont trust google no matter how “sandboxed” Graphene claims them to be. In my experience microg works fine for my needs. Can you elaborate on MicroG needing root? To my understanding that is only required on ROMs that don’t require Sig. Spoofing, and Calyx does support it, specifically and only for MicroG.
