GrapheneOS calls on privacy focused app developers to boycott European Unified Attestation

  “Recently, there were many issues with the X app for GrapheneOS users, and they allege that the new rules are the cause.”

  I understand the greater issue at hand here, but why are people using GrapheneOS as a phone OS, but are STILL using X? And why is GrapheneOS using X?

    why is GrapheneOS using X?

    If you’re trying to convert new people to your religion, you have to leave the church.

      That’s what the priest told me when I saw him going into the brothel. Doing God’s work

      Because you gotta go to where the people are else they won’t hear the message.

      Wouldn’t the very same argument apply here for the attestation?

    why are people using GrapheneOS as a phone OS, but are STILL using X?

    Because your coworkers and your inlaws are still using it. And you phone company only posts their updates on xitter these days. It’s the same reasons why your still using whatsapp.

    I personally don’t agree with these reasons, but they’re valid.

      Nothing would make me happier than not having to use WhatsApp. Instead, I had to bend over backwards to get WhatsApp on a separate device entirely after they flagged and banned my account (multiple times over the course of a month) for random reasons (hackers trying to hack my account for 6 months straight is my guess as to why I got flagged) and wouldn’t let me log back in with my GrapheneOS phone, and if I ever forget to check that other phone for more than 2 weeks, I get logged out of all my companion devices and lose all my stickers and some recent chat history.

      I floated the idea to my contacts of possibly not being able to come back to WhatsApp, they all essentially said I should just buy a new phone (have had my pixel for like a year) and get a new phone number (have had my number for 20 years). My own family scoffed at the idea of using something other than WhatsApp at all to talk to me.

      So yeah. Fuck WhatsApp, absolutely fuuuuuuuck Meta, but we’re all literally doing the best we can given the situation we’re in.

    Because people should use whatever they want. If there a piece of software that’s available for the OS you should expect it to work without issues.

    I can’t shake the feeling that this isn’t really about the UA but the private feud of Graphene OS developers

    Its like their comms guy is a spoiled 12 year old who’s pissed they didn’t get invited to the party. I say that as a big fan and daily user of GOS.

    I get that’s common in tech, but if you’re going to neg on your competitors at least offer a solid alternative. Like attestation or not it satisfies a need a lot of orgs and developers have. Its not going away any time soon.

      They do offer their own attestation system, and some banks use it.

  Just use the link to the Mastodon post. That site is junk.
