#50ShadesOfGNOME Eine Forderung nach Altersverifikation verärgert die OSS-Szene während über einen SUSE-Verkauf spekuliert wird. Ein offener Brief setzt sich für Android-Sideloading ein und Motorola überrascht mit einer GrapheneOS-Partnerschaft. GNOME 50, Bunsenlabs Carbon, antiX 26, Agama 19 und - ganz unerwartet - Solaris 11.4.90 erscheinen. Das Manjaro-Projekt möchte sich neu aufstellen.

Ughhhh if the fucking California legislature forces me off GrapheneOS and back onto Android, I may have to just go back to using a flip phone. I CANNOT DO IT.

Android-Based GrapheneOS Refuses Age Verification, May Exit Regions That Enforce It

The privacy-focused Android fork would rather lose market access than collect user data at setup.

GrapheneOS Foundation Discusses History Of Phoney Privacy Companies Targeting The Project - Lemmy

There are at least a dozen people spending at least several hours attacking GrapheneOS across platforms on a daily basis. It’s a very strange situation. How do these people have so much time and dedication to keep making posts across platforms attacking us? It’s relentless. Every day, dozens of new accounts join our chat rooms to spread the same fabrications about GrapheneOS including via direct messages. On Hacker News, one of the accounts making personal attacks based on fabrications in most threads about GrapheneOS has been doing it for 8 years. Y Combinator has a financial stake in numerous surveillance and exploit development companies. Hacker News is a platform they own and the moderators on it have permitted years of vile harassment towards our team which they’d normally remove if others were targeted. Hacker News mods micromanage it enough to repeatedly ask us not to reuse a bit of text across our comments. Meanwhile, they do nothing about disgusting personal attacks and harassment content consistently being spread in threads about GrapheneOS on their heavily moderated site. The largest privacy community on Reddit /r/privacy bans any discussion or mentions of GrapheneOS. A bot automatically removes any post mentioning GrapheneOS they’ll very actively ban people who evade their filters. The mods of the subreddit misrepresent this as something we want. Many privacy subreddits have mods who are hostile towards GrapheneOS. We were banned from posting on /r/Android for multiple years. The mod who banned us said our official project account on Reddit was ban evading because they once unjustifiably banned one of our team members. On Wikipedia, a company attacking GrapheneOS project made years of edits to the site pushing false narratives about us. They cited articles based on their own press releases. Other content was made paraphrasing Wikipedia which ended up being cited by it. It continues to this day. Articles about GrapheneOS on most platforms often have comments engaging in baseless personal attacks towards our team, linking to harassment content and making many clearly inaccurate claims about it. We’ve found chat rooms coordinating this including attacks on the X platform. Privacy projects are more vulnerable to these attacks because the userbase and supporters largely avoid social media and other platforms where it happens. Many people believe what they read on social media if it isn’t countered and it builds echo chambers hostile to GrapheneOS. Many people think these must be state sponsored attacks. However, our experience is these attacks are primarily orchestrated by companies selling dubious products marketed as private and secure. We did get targeted by state sponsored smear campaigns in France and Spain though.

I know you say you don't want android, but having tried a few linux phones I am firmly convinced #grapheneos is the best mobile os available, at least for now.

Ever seen our AOSP based apps (Phone,Messages,Gallery…) & thought I could make a difference to bring them up?
