Just installed @GrapheneOS on my "new" Pixel 8The web-installer worked like a charm.

@realn2s @hipsterelectron getting a pixel in NZ when you're on SSI sucks

[freya@chaosfem.tw]

@realn2s @hipsterelectron but I'd really rather not be on iphone if I can at all manage it

[hipsterelectron@circumstances.run]

@freya @realn2s i have a pixel 6 with broken screen and until i get a paycheck again that is extremely important for me to retain access to

[freya@chaosfem.tw]

@hipsterelectron @realn2s fair!

[freya@chaosfem.tw]

@hipsterelectron @realn2s I didn't expect any success in my attempting to get a pixel to be honest, everyone's way too burnt out on stuff

@GrapheneOS

Naively I'm stuck at installing apps

E.g. Signal isn't in the GrapheneOS store and using the Google Play store requires me to log in.
I liked the e/os way to offer an anonymous Play store (I understand that there are security implications with this)

It's just a naive first use impression

And good to know when you recommend GrapheneOS to non-technical users

@freya i wanted you to know that i think you deserve it and i want to spread the love

[freya@chaosfem.tw]

@hipsterelectron aaaawawawawawawaawa

[freya@chaosfem.tw]

@hipsterelectron I need to get like a pixel 8 or something cause the 6 stops getting GrapheneOS seccurity updates in like 7 months

[highfunctioningsociopath@mastodon.social]

@realn2s @GrapheneOS you can download signal directly from the official signal page. Or use Molly instead. You find it at accrescent

[hipsterelectron@circumstances.run]

@freya yes that's why i've been thinking about it. typing this on my pixel 7 which gets security updates for a bit longer but does not get the supreme 7 year support guarantee from any of the models with ARM MTE

[realn2s@infosec.exchange]

@freya @hipsterelectron


True.

[learntoliveprivate@privacysafe.social]

@realn2s @GrapheneOS also you can use aurora store theres nothing technical about the app situation on graphene os its the least technical part accrescent is in there app store and molly is in accrescent you can also get on a webbrowser pull up chatgpt or something and ask it how to do apps on graphene os.

@LearnToLivePrivate @GrapheneOS

The (non-)technical bit is knowing that there is no ready-to-use app store on the phone after the initial install (for a standard user coming from stock Android or iOS)
