Alrighty here's the post about how the @GrapheneOS install went and frankly there isn't much to say xD it's super easy and quick
Graphene recommended buying a Google pixel from Google themselves to avoid any OEM unlock issues, you should heed this advice, personally I chose to ignore it and bought mine from O2, OEM unlocking was an option in my case BUT that's not to say all O2 phones could have the OEM unlock toggle
Soo, now go to settings, about phone, scroll down to build number, slap the number 7 times then head to developer options (use the search bar if you can't find it)
Next up head over to grapheneOS website https://t.co/eyJDVkCFJO
Read the info, press install then webUSB installer
To prove how flexible the installer is I used a default out of the box pi5 with the default browser on raspberry pi os, worked perfect so no excuses :P
Once you get to the web installer, reboot your phone while holding down the down volume key, once your on the fastboot screen wait
Go back to the web installer, hit unlock bootloader, select your device when the pop up asks then use the down volume key to select the unlock bootloader option and press power button to accept
Then download the OS with the button under the first
Once that's done hit flash, which is also under the download button
Once that's done and the website says finished press the final button to relock the bootloader, just like the first time use the volume keys to highlight lock bootloader then power button to accept
First reboot takes longer but reboots after that are faster
And that's it, that's legit how easy it is to do the initial installation 😁
GrapheneOS opposes authoritarianism. It's a core part of why we're building privacy technology as part of a non-profit open source project. We're opposed to it regardless of whether it comes from left, center or right. The flood of people lying about what we believe and have said won't change this.
Our beliefs are not defined by what people who use GrapheneOS or donate to it believe. We decide what's acceptable within our community and we do a lot of moderation. We don't police what's done fully outside it. We clearly won't only have users, donors and supporters with beliefs aligned with ours.
We don't usually allow much political discussion in our community unless it's directly related to GrapheneOS. Today has been a very good demonstration of why that's the case. Many people are unable to tolerate even a minor disagreement on semantics without being absolutely enraged over it.
@robprogressive Well see thats the thing, you can choose, either hand over a slice of your wealth, which if the wealth is high enough it'll be barely any tax anyway
Or you can just say,no thanks
The later option does mean you would have to move into a small state approved room called a prison
@mullvadnet@fiskargubbe Refund? I'm about renew my subscription because of this new information 🤣
We all should be anti- establishment and anti-corruption!
@latestincosmos Nice!
So now that means employees can work longer and be more productive for the company all while sleeping a lot less
That's billions saved on overtime pay now that your employment contract can include 22 hour shifts 🤣
Just need the gov to mandate this for the corpo slaves
@shazcodes This is why I can't understand job Worth's
Why prioritise a company in your life when you are extremely replaceable, and the pay is peanuts compared to what employees earn for the company
Prioritise yourself, your family and your children, fuck the company you work for
@wariocolosseum If I was a conspiracy guy I'd chalk this up to big tech trying to keep the population dumber by not giving everyone access to computers or the internet
Can't be outraged if you got no clue what's happening and the powers that be can just do whatever completely unchecked 🤷
@Aderondak Pretty much, but it isn't even just chatgpt to blame, it's all Ai companies
They all want to have the best ai models and training data only ever gets bigger and more complex then the Ai models themselves become enormous and need unholy amounts of ram and GPU power to work
@GrapheneOS I was shocked how smooth the update went, my phone just automatically downloaded it and then gave a notification to reboot, and done
I was fully expecting bugs, having to re-flash everything, stuff to not work - so I was pleasantly surprised when it just worked 😁
@dbl_mp1 The mile? Governments of eld took over 100k miles 🤣
Starts off reasonable and quickly escalates and before you know it the government becomes the ruler, the army swears an oath to the PM and human rights become optional
Then people ask, how did we get here when it's too late
@pudgenet That last sentence is pretty accurate ngl 🤣
The gov cares about us for 1 single day per year, and that's tax return day because the gov needs us to pay into their coffers so the gov can later pilfer the money in the form of gov contracts
After that they don't care again 🤣🤣
@Pirat_Nation Hmm 🤔 does visiting the Chinese embassy count as visiting china?
If it does then the china haters might wanna cross the street just incase 😂
@Geezaws2 Lord shaxx is the new manager now 😏
Cyac: Everything runs on cyac or nothing runs at all
Lord shaxx: and nothing dies until you throw more grenades, you should be throwing grenades right now! 🤭
@rebeccabutlerm2 Hasn't been that bad in Scotland, yesterday we got 29c today we're back down to 20c and it rained a little too
I think it's because it's summer, that's the reason why it's hot outside 🤭
