Clearly a woman. “My lady” would’ve been more appropriate. Please don’t be rude

I hate SMS as a whole. It needs to be replaced with something modern.

You’re welcome. Thank you for your kind comment.

Figured I should let you know. GOS is an Operating System, which is different from ROM which is short for Read Only Memory. It’s like calling windows on your PC a ROM instead of an OS. It makes no sense.

That’d be a good idea

You mentioned, firefox. The app could be updated to better support tablet UI. That’s what I meant.

Well if I have a tablet, it wouldn’t be for Linux based apps, unless maybe some SSH/terminal stuff anyway. The apps mentioned would need to update to properly support tablets, if they haven’t been yet.

You get the latest release straight from the source, best benefit

I use newpipe or libretube on mobile.

I would recommend buying a pixel tablet and installing !grapheneos@lemmy.ml on it. !grapheneos@lemmy.ml is private and doesn’t send anything to Google. You can get a pixel tab second-hand.

I gotta get into Arch someday. How’s your experience so far? Easy to use? (I’m sure it is, the wiki is very detailed) Glad to see you like GOS

It’s overwhelming to a lot, if we want to teach, we shouldn’t call them “lazy”, they simply don’t see the value in understanding or learning tech.

All apps work fine on grapheneos, besides above mentioned pay, some banking and auto.

Using sandboxed google play gmail and regular apps from play store work fine. :)

You can read more about sandboxed google play here. Here: https://grapheneos.org/features#sandboxed-google-play

I really recommend you read above link, it goes more in-depth.

Your first post, you claim that “so any zero day could be active right now” … This can happen with open source software too. Your phone is way more secure than the average PC running debian.

I agree 100% it’s upsetting how little people know about technology they use everyday. To many and you, installing a new OS is easy as breathing air, to the average person, it’s like learning to ride a bike for the first time. We have to slowly teach those, willing to listen and learn.

You can install on the devices that are listed here. https://grapheneos.org/faq#supported-devices

If your phone is secure with screenlock, kept up to date and uses grapheneos than your banking should be safe. Using grapheneOS auto reboot feature would prevent anybody accessing private data stored in RAM , as it’s all at rest after reboot
