Donate to GrapheneOS

[delayed]

Also, gonna post the crowdfunding link for Samuel Tunick, the American protestor facing federal charges for allegedly giving a DHS officer a GrapheneOS duress password:

It's important he beats his charges to prevent setting an unfavorable precedent for digital privacy rights.

Given how long I've been using Graphene, this is not a bad idea also because there has been increasing pressure from governments clamping down on privacy solutions

I got a Pixel 10 during prime day and installed GrapheneOS with Cape for the provider. So far, it's been mostly great. The only setback, for me, is the lack of support for tap to pay. I haven't been able to get any wallet app to work. I keep my iphone with minimal service mainly to still have tap to pay and do facetime with my book club.

I always found it funny that the first step of leaving the Google smartphone ecosystem is to buy a Google phone

I would if I could even use their OS. Pixel phones are not available in my country and to import them is to pay 3x the amount I would spend on another phone.

Here's hoping Pixel releases a flip phone 11 and Graphene support follows.

The Motorola razr has crease issues that they seem to want to ignore and Samsung has locked down their phones so root is impractical.

If I donate, can we get the Lineage keyboard with all the symbols in the same places?

I'd actually love to have the Holo keyboard back. That was my favorite.

Why not sell phones?

:) nice, topical

They start their list with "GitHub Sponsors (credit card)", then list five cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Monero, Zcash, Ethereum, Cardano, Litecoin), two of which have "We aren't looking for donations of tokens, only Ethereum [resp. Cardano] itself." Then Wise Quick Pay, then Local Bank Transfer (providing the Wise bank details for Belgium, UK, US, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Hungary, and Turkey), then PayPal (in CAD, USD, EUR, GBP – pointing out the PayPal fee), and finally Interac e-Transfer. I wonder whether there's a reason for this order?

Also, PayPal's fee, as described, is fairly steep:

> PayPal charges a base fee of 30 cents and 2.9% of the donation amount within Canada. There's an additional 0.8% fee for donations from the US and 1% for other countries. Currency conversion adds an additional 4% fee as opposed to the usual PayPal conversion fee of 3%.

GrapheneOS looks pretty solid alas ios has the apps I prefer.

Meh… would rather do /e/ or PostmarketOS…

GrapheneOS, for all intents and purposes, still heavily promotes Google and it's services (and no, "sandboxing" is not the solution if you still have to rely on that crap). And they would probably still happy force everyone to buy Google hardware (Pixel) if it weren't for middle-finger from said Google (lack of drivers tree…)
