Correct me if I’m wrong, but GrapheneOS is designed to prevent users from gaining root (admin) privileges. Consequently, even if the device is compromised, you will never be aware of it. I don’t care about the moronic reasons behind this; this is my device, and it should be under my control.

ArmchairAce1944@discuss.online 1 week agoI wish I could install GrapheneOS on my Samsung… fuck it. I cannot wait for this shit to be paid off and I can get a GrapheneOS compatible phone.
Fuck Samsung in the ass.

One of my ideas for increasing GrapheneOS market share is to market GOS as the minimalist phone so many crave.
FWIW, GrapheneOS is in talks with phone manufacturers to also reduce/remove reliance on Google Pixels.
Also: You can technically put GOS on some non-Pixel devices, but it’s not officially supported (and thus not recommended). Just FYI.

I heard about Cape, a phone provider that is privacy focused and will soon be entering the consumer market. I will probably switch to them.
For one thing. Their geolocation is deliberately imprecise, meaning instead of pinning you down to a few meters (or even centimeters) they put you in a broad range around the towers, meaning your stated location could be far away from actual location.
