I’m not a criminal, don’t pirate things, don’t have really anything more to hide than anyone does
But I like privacy, I like having some level of trust in my own device to not be sending my information to both my government and foreign ones.
It has nothing to do with crime.
I can’t think of the exact quote but paraphrasing:
“I like privacy, not because I have something to hide but fear the people who decide what is a crime.”
This just in, criminals drink water.
No, criminals prefer the far more dangerous Di-hydrogen Monoxide
That settles it for me, I’m installing it right away.
No better recommendation than cops hate it
Heck yeah! Let’s all be criminals!
Be gay, do crime.
Am I able to use graphene os without being gay?
No mate is on its end user license agreement
[Joke] Only if you don’t use it for crimes.
We’ll it’s a good thing I’m aware of and diligently follow all laws
Mhm, sure 😜
if stock android was safe for everybody to use, then they’d be using that. blame google, not the criminals or graphine
A privacy-focused operating system may seem more trouble than it’s worth. But when I replaced Google’s Pixel OS with GrapheneOS, I found it to be a transformative experience. For one, the installation was painless, and I didn’t lose any modern software features. Installing aftermarket operating systems used to equal a compromised smartphone experience, but I didn’t find that to be true in the case of GrapheneOS.
Case in point: even though GrapheneOS doesn’t include any Google services, I was surprised to find that you can install the Play Store with relative ease and almost all apps work flawlessly — even most banking ones.
Oh, nice. This sounds promising! I’m adding it to my list:
[]It was so refreshing to have a clean install without bloatware or having to login to google services right off the bat. Especially after having a carrier locked phone
“we’ve officially moved to graphene” -cops
a lot of non-criminals do too… what’s their point? /s
I’ve been thinking about switching lately because as this phone gets more updates it keeps gradually getting more annoying. Only trouble is my carrier is Google Fi right now and I don’t know if I can reasonably continue using that on Graphene without privacy concerns.
Though, I originally started using it only because it was cheap. I could probably afford to shop carriers soon.

You can use Google Fi if you install sandboxed Play Services and give it a few permissions. It’s not as private as it could potentially be, but it’s still presumably better than stock.
Also, IMO unless you really need the international features, Google Fi isn’t worth the price since US Mobile, Visible, Mint, etc. exist.
Why would I listen to the words of criminals?
because google is constantly datamining the phone, and enshittified alot of it too.
Do all my authenticators still function with it? That’s like the only thing holding me back.
In my experience yes they do.
I use Aegis (Google Authenticator compatible) and it works great. Entrust has also worked for me in the past.
Most seem to work fine. Banking apps can be finicky sometimes
I miss the Michael Bazzell podcast.
If cops don’t like it, it must be good!
