But you can’t do that, the whole phone has to be open source Right down to the chipset! How are you going to know if it’s respecting your privacy the hardware is a black box it doesn’t matter if you have to create custom solutions to get your banking app working on it. That’s kinda the standard your holding these open source devs to.
It’s not enough you spend your free time writing code with basically no compensation you have to maintain a server, pay for hosting, make sure security patches go through, troubleshooting when it goes down, write custom software to automate support tickets, and deal with people potentially trying to ddos your instance, etc.
Most users find mobile banking works out of the box on GrapheneOS.
I’m not disputing the last stuff is not fun. Matrix works quite well and you can set up a bridge with discord. Using spaces correctly cuts down spam easier also. The problem remains, even if you set them up, my experience is 92% of users come in through Discord. I’d love that to change, but it’s just a fact of the matter.
Yeah, I don’t have foss painted on my chest but I like the idea. It’ll become more mainstream once people figure out a system to get devs paid and reduce the drawbacks of someone cloning a project, injecting ads, and providing it as a free alternative. If all those things and the issue of paying people to provide professional support for companies using it get solved. I can see a bright future for foss.
EDIT: I’ve also heard graphene is is pretty good, I like my android auto though.
Maybe you should ditch your android phone for a pine phone while you’re at it.
Why when you can use GrapheneOS. FOSS, privacy respecting Android…
