@penguinj42 @GrapheneOS There is more to security than just source code.

@Xarcell @GrapheneOS Yeah, have they looked at the source code to make that assessment? I guess not. I don't need them to repeat Apple marketing material.

Privacy and security on computing devices need to become far stronger to protect people from pervasive violations of their rights. Users have their privacy pervasively violated by corporations, criminals and governments. There are endless privacy and security weaknesses in software with exploits of those happening on a large scale. Operating systems, browsers and other apps need to do a much better job protecting users. Enormous progress is needed on both privacy and security. GrapheneOS provides a massive upgrade for privacy and security over the standard Android Open Source Project. GrapheneOS is nowhere near good enough and we have an enormous amount of work to do improving both. Our work is an ongoing process and doesn't have an end point. Privacy and security heavily involve competition between attackers and defenders. Most defenders are making little progress and falling increasingly far behind. Attackers continue improving their exploits of privacy and security weaknesses. Commercial exploit tools are increasingly widely deployed for broad attacks. Software has a very high density of privacy and security vulnerabilities. LLMs are accelerating both vulnerability discovery and exploit development. For most computing devices, defense is increasingly far behind offense. iOS and GrapheneOS are exceptional cases not representative of degrading privacy and security across computing devices. Growing numbers of internet connected devices are incorporated into botnets. This harms the privacy and security of the internet as a whole through heavily pushing it towards centralization behind services such as Cloudflare. Insecure devices without security patches harm the internet as a whole. It isn't only embedded devices but also desktops, mobile devices and servers being used as part of these botnets. It isn't only people with these insecure devices who are harmed. It can get much worse. We're building GrapheneOS to protect everyone's privacy and security. It's aimed at widespread adoption and is highly usable. It's compatible with the vast majority of Android apps. It has major privacy benefits for every user including stopping a lot of data collection by apps and services with a better permission model increasingly addressing being coerced to grant access. GrapheneOS has many users with little technical knowledge and isn't hard to install or use. We're continuing to work on improving privacy, security, usability and app compatibility for all of our users. Contact Scopes, Storage Scopes, per-app Sensors toggle, VPN leak protection and many other features we provde are very important privacy protections. We're building alternatives to the Camera, Microphone and other permissions too. Our major improvements to exploit protections are there to protect user privacy. Privacy depends on security and that's why we heavily work on security too. Contrary to what's often claimed, GrapheneOS is far more usable and requires far less sacrifice compared to other alternatives. Providing far better protection against sophisticated exploits isn't at the expense of that. Our opt-in sandboxed Google Play compatibility layer combines privacy and high usability. We're gradually making replacements for more Google services apps rely on. Location services, network-based location, geocoding and more has already been replaced and much more is coming.

@ericmmatheny Flat sales tax on all sales except food and medicine, no other taxes.

Flat tax. Whether you make $1000 or $100 million. A fixed percentage for everybody. And that’s it. A one-page tax form. No bullshit. Everybody pays a reasonable and equitable amount. Everyone - from the wealthiest to the poorest - have skin in the game.

@andrewilliamsus Gen Z is weak.

We need a revolution in America. Give another 5 to 10 years of this, and you're going to see Gen Z storm and siege Washington, and Wall Street

@BlackboxAIhost What about privacy?

They can shut down the internet BUT they can't shut down your board! Blackbox Board ⇢ an encrypted forum that runs with no internet | no servers | no platform. Just your people | Your board | Your network. How? Every member is a node. The board syncs itself through mesh. No one controls it. No one can take it down. No need their infrastructure to stay connected. Build your own! Coming soon.

@TheProjectUnity This work is as important as AI development.

I was one of the first to go deep down into the subterranean excavations at the megalithic site of Saqsaywaman, Peru. I took a 4K cam into the active underground dig where ancient structures are being revealed. If this work matters to you support it with a comment/like/repost

@Respecting33159 @GrapheneOS None.

@GrapheneOS What computer OS do you all recommend?

@penguinj42 @GrapheneOS You need to understand the difference between privacy and security. IOS excels at security, but falls way short on privacy. GOS praises iOS security, even though it is not perfect.

@GrapheneOS "GrapheneOS and iOS"... iOS? Seriously? The OS that asks users to show their passports to continue using their devices?

@GrapheneOS Your honesty builds trust.

@tksaluto1 @GinaSaysSo Three wolves and one lamb vote on what is for dinner? What about mob rule?

@GinaSaysSo Direct Democracy, no need for Representatives. No lobbying, no party affiliation and no fraud.

Who is in? 👇👇 Abolish Congress. Randomly select United States of America citizens to serve 2-year terms, with an option to decline. One term. No attention to party affiliation, which eliminates the illusion of teams. Radical change is the only way. Let's go!

@_MichaelJLee @GinaSaysSo What do you suggest?

@GinaSaysSo Representative government is outdated. People are too easily threatened or bribed.

@GinaSaysSo I'm open minded enough to be willing to discuss it. First problem I see is some citizens are mentally I'll, or just want to see the world burn.

@isareksopuro Hard to navigate on a mobile device.

i made a map to monitor data centers all around the world tracks construction + nearby power plants + local AI legislation, and follows the politicians behind their bans (+ if they're getting paid to do so!)

@TechX1320 @OyasumiBastet @GrapheneOS @skylermzx I've been using GrapheneOS for over two years. What is GAPPs?

@OyasumiBastet @GrapheneOS @Xarcell @skylermzx the people replying will never understand *unless* they've actually SEEN and EXPERIENCED a non-tech person attempt to use Graphene or Lineage with no GAPPs. I have... it will not work for the masses. If carriers carry the Motos with Graphene, they will see a surge in returns

we need an actual secure alternative to the google play store

@TechX1320 @GrapheneOS @skylermzx @OyasumiBastet You sir, are a liar.

@Xarcell @GrapheneOS @skylermzx @OyasumiBastet I have flashed hundreds of pixels with GrapheneOS - I have used it extensively. You are not the right type of user to even comprehend. I have put it in people's hands who want it because some brain sucking podcast idiot told them so - then they realize they really don't.

@TechX1320 @GrapheneOS @skylermzx @OyasumiBastet Your comment just proves you have never used it.

@Xarcell @GrapheneOS @skylermzx @OyasumiBastet GrapheneOS is complete overkill for 90% of individuals. I do agree - we need an alternative to the giants that are google and apple, but graphene ain't it. its not simple enough for normies While you say "that's a good thing" - its not if you want widespread adoption

@AgrotonomyCorp This doesn't look profitable.

@GrapheneOS @TechX1320 @skylermzx @OyasumiBastet The only path to the future that is private involves GrapheneOS. No other operating system can offer what GrapheneOS offers as a mobileOS.

@TechX1320 @skylermzx @OyasumiBastet We're not overselling what GrapheneOS provides. We're very transparent about the limitations. We regularly talk about areas which need major improvement including doing much more to improve Linux kernel security. We have plenty of posts about specific areas where iOS does better.

@TheProjectUnity Something was preventing me from liking this post. I'd tap it, and it was start the heart animation, flash, then look normal. Took about 20 or so attempts for the heart to turn red.

Here is an almost 2-hour long documentary, filmed, edited & narrated by me. ZERO STOCK FOOTAGE. I literally went to these places to show you the mainstream historical narrative in Peru doesn't make sense. If this work matters to you support it with a like/comment/repost
