  • GrapheneOS Will Overhaul Default Apps and Implement a Secure Clipboard

    Jump

  • Blame people unwilling to pay for security for cheaper phones not having hardware security features.

    Blame the other manufacturers for not letting GrapheneOS unlock and relock the bootloader on their good phones with hardware security.

    Blame Graphene for not making a lesser version "CharcoalOS" (or something) for other phones, so now I have to use the even less secure, beginner-friendly /e/OS on my Sony phone.

  • Many alternatives doesn't work. There has to be a central place where everything can be found, like the Fediverse.

  • Governments push citizens onto Facebook by not providing a publicly funded alternative for what it does, like finding local events, marketplace, and dating. There has to be some central place for everyone to find each other, and even European governments seem to have decided a foreign monopolist should do that.

  • Reminds me of Microsoft killing Nokia and their new Linux phones.

  • I've been using /e/OS for 1.5 years. It's okay.

    • Open-source software made by a small French company, Murena, headed by Mandrake Linux creator Gaël Duval.
    • Easy way to escape surveillance capitalism while keeping most of Android app selection. Based on LineageOS based on AOSP (Android Open Source Project).
    • Most apps work. For comparison, GrapheneOS (also AOSP-based) supports more apps because of sandboxed Google Play. MicroG, the substitute for Google Play Services used by /e/OS can't pay through Google (yet), so you can't buy some apps. Most banking apps work: https://community.e.foundation/t/list-banking-apps-on-e-os/33091
    • Runs faster and for longer per charge than Android (because surveillance load was removed).
    • Imitates Apple phones. Easily re-Androided by installing Lawnchair launcher.
    • Text dictation with local AI (new and buggy).
    • Easy to install: has a web installer (like GrapheneOS). (There’s also the seemingly easy https://openandroidinstaller.org/ for many OSs. I don’t know anything about it.)
    • Easy to activate Nextcloud sync/backup; defaults to Murena server. In GrapheneOS you set it up manually.
    • Can relock some phone models' bootloader (like GrapheneOS, iodéOS and CalyxOS do), improving security over LineageOS but staying below the most secure GrapheneOS. More about bootloader relocking:https://piefed.social/post/1741494#comment_9999461

    Murena seems to be a bit overwhelmed with the project. Slow security updates. Slow bug fixes, even with privacy bugs. Slow customer support. A cloud outage. Community support forum and chat work fine (unfortunately the chat is on proprietary Telegram).

    We can help Murena hire more developers by buying devices and Nextcloud service from them.

    AOSP-derivatives depend on Google's development of Android and can be sabotaged by Google. The sustainable solution is something else, maybe a real Linux such as Jolla Sailfish OS, PostmarketOS, etc.

    Driving towards obesity: A systematized literature review on the association between motor vehicle travel time and distance and weight status in adults

    Highlights

    • Over-reliance on private motor vehicles has likely contributed to the obesity epidemic.
    • Evidence for a positive association between motor vehicle driving and weight status exists.
    • Small, widespread, reductions in driving could provide significant population health benefits.

  • Texas sues Meta and WhatsApp for "Lying About Privacy Measures and Deceiving Texans by Falsely Claiming WhatsApp Messages are Encrypted"

    Jump

  • Meta's business model is collecting, using and selling data from users of "free" services. Obviously they didn't buy WhatsApp for charity.

    Meta has been caught lying before. Even if there's no backdoor right now, the next closed-source update can add one and take all message history. Would you trust Zuck?
