@bobzr @switchingsoftware the only reason that they currently only support pixels is because they are the most secure android devices. They also support signing the bootloader eith your own custom key, keeping verified boot intact. Graphene can be ported to other devices, but they lack contributers to do that.

@techygrue @Tutanota @freddyym the code is daniels, from the android hardening project, which got renamed into graphene os, now james is trying to claim it is his, and is attacking people who contribute to graphene os.

@techygrue @Tutanota @freddyym here, james is also actively going after foss contributers under the notion of copyright:https://renlord.com/posts/2020-03-25-copperheados-legal-threat/

@techygrue @Tutanota @freddyym I am not part of graphene OS, i am part of the team behind privacytools.io, which is a nonprofit organization trying to educate the masses about privacy. One piece of evidence is by looking at the copperhead source code, their latest published version is from 2019. Right now all they do is litterly copy paste daniel code and put the copperhead branding on it. You can even see parts of the Graphene OS documentation on the copperhead website.

@tapaniraja @Tutanota yeah, its crazy, donaldson must be stopped. Spread the word!

@tapaniraja @Tutanota after we posted it on reddit, wire suddenly removed their blog post about it ( click the link on their socialmedia about it, brings up an error.)

Ive also just reached out to nextcloud. Seeing how i cannot find ANYTHING about copperhead on their website or social media, im guessing the same happend to them as tutanota, its just a said attempt by James Donaldson to harm users by pushing his scam by using logo's from legitimate companies.

@tapaniraja @Tutanota 3/ now when i reached out to tutanota, they clarified they never had an actual partnership at all, eventhough they were listed like that on the website. So i explained the situation of what happend with copperhead, which tutanota was seemingly unaware off, and they notified me today they day have now asked copperhead to remove their logo from their site, which is a move i applaud them for!

@tapaniraja @Tutanota 2/ the thing is, copperhead os is currently a shell company run by a scammer who kicked out daniel micay via a hostile takeover. Now, we ofcourse don't want to endanger users into buying these insecure phones. The problem comes in when a legitimate company like tutanota is seemingly supporting them.

@tapaniraja @Tutanota 1/ Copperhead listed tutanota on their partner page, which gives them legitimacy as tutanota has a good reputation. Thing is, tutanota never had a partnership, all that happend was that tutanota was asked by copperhead to use their logo as they come with copperhead pre installed, to which tutanota had no objections.

@syntax i always carry by bootloader with me on a usb flashdrive, that way all thats on my drive as a useless encrypted blob.

@jonah heh, seems like the apple version of microsofts continuum project that got canceled, only here they make desktops into phones instead phones into desktops.

Very proud of the decision by @Tutanota to be no longer listed on the copperhead OS webpage once they heard about the history of the company. I wish more companies were vigilant like this. Way to go guys!

@jonah you seem pretty triggered.

@switchingsoftware any idea on whether you will be recommending graphene os yet?

@Gina what we always did was leaving the night before and driving all night and arrive somewhere in the morning. That way you can enjoy the rest of the day ( even tho you can be tired) and as a bonus, there is way less traffic to deal with, so you can cover quite a lot of km in a relatively short time)

@Gina ehh as far as i know, you can drive to the south of france in about 8 hours, depending where in the netherlands you are?

@switchingsoftware

This should cover most things:

@switchingsoftware have you thought about listing graphene os next to lineage os on your site, its a security focused android rom which is open source :)

@hund @Gina im monitoring it closely to make sure i get all my vitamins and minerals :)

@Gina well ive set my goals pretty high and strict, only 1500kcal a day and daily workouts + 10000 steps.
