I am new to GrapheneOS, and I love it. However, it doesn't work with Google Pay, Wallet, or Moto Tag devices.

I also prefer the unbloated ROM and limiting what Google can do on my phone. However, this new captcha thing is worrying: https://www.digitaltrends.com/phones/the-makers-of-security-first-grapheneos-are-putting-google-and-apples-tactics-on-blast/

What about the fact that Sailfish OS uses Alien Dalvik to emulate the apps in an LXC container? More

This is a company that is committing to never selling customer data and I appreciate that. But yeah, I think blocking Web browsers is maybe a little much. Plus I need Lemmy to get my bean fix 🫘.

They have created a shit phone, but they are proud of it. It's essentially a less dumb version of a dumb phone.

It's one where you don't have to worry about someone emailing you after-hours, see your aunt bitching about her 7th husband, or get you distracted when you should be remodeling the house.

I may not agree with it... I would be more open to A full blown sailfish install, but I see the vision.

Your list still checks out in my book.

Gotta say that personally I don't necessarily dislike emancipation, was it underwhelming? Maybe.

But I do appreciate the story of someone that the society around them considers an underdog. Then reality sets in and they mop the floor with their opponent and hold a knife to their throat. And I appreciate that it is early enough(s1e3) in the series to show that Carter is not just the brains, but also a warrior.

Perhaps I'm imagining some sexism within our own 90's society, I was quite young, I'm not a women, and back then girls had cooties. But that is what it established, that Carter is a warrior. At this point, we had not seen her fight hand-to-hand. If some say it is underwhelming, I won't argue. But I think for it's time, the episode served it's purpose.

...So is sailfish... But ultimately I think the reason they went with it is that it is much more secure than an android phone as it ensure your privacy is respected. You can still run android applications, but you don't have to worry about Google apps spying on your activity. Similar to Graphene OS where you can actually manage the permissions of Google apps rather than allowing it to have unfettered access to everything. Or heck, you don't even need to install any Google application to be able to use either Graphene or Sailfish. To me, they are just better ecosystems. And heck, sailfish isn't the only one. There is also postmarket os, Mobian, Manjaro ARM, Arch ARM, Ubuntu Touch, PureOS, and many more.
