Why YSK GrapheneOS is a step above the rest. I understand it's ironic de-google phone/tablet with google hardware, but it just works better then anything else. Permission toggles, pin scrambling, auto-reboot, scopes, MAC randomization, isolated user profiles, longer passwords, sandboxed apps, open source firmware, no bloat & the battery life is incredible now.

I hope people understand how easy it is to move to Linux & GrapheneOS full time & remove Apple, Google, Microsoft etc. It exceeded expectations so much so that I want to share it with other people. I cannot recommend this enough to improve your life. #FOSS

Saw this, and thought it was a rather interesting comments section. Seems like an active discreditation campaign going on. Focussing on past maintainer and the fact it doesn't work with 2 questionable bits of functionality (Google pay + Auto). Why would I want either in a privacy phone?

I guess that doesn't work. Is there a way to link to a post without opening a chrome tab? I'm on wefwef and the [email protected] hyperlink works perfectly. How to directly link to a post

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's in the post at the top, there is a link that says cross posted from. That should hopefully work.

Yeah, but it just opens a tab in chrome. I want it to open in the app itself (Voyager)

Ah, maybe Voyager doesn't yet recognise those links and sees it as external. On Firefox, the link opens in same tab.
