Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

I switched to GrapheneOS with zero regrets. Mainly because Google is deeply embeded in the Android ecosystem. There was no way i was going to add Samsung AI crap on top of that mess.

Question, do your banking apps etc run ok in the sandbox?

[–] ZoraQ@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

In my case some of my banks will work without the google play services but I have one that requires it. It hasn't been a problem for me so far. The grapheneOS community forum has some good info on which apps are problematic and workarounds. I'm aware of a couple of banks that don't work on GOS due to the OS Attestation.

Thanks, appreciate that. Another thing I always fail to remember is that I can just use the website. I really need to switch

Nice. Mine is a work phone so I can't switch sadly

I wanted grapheneOS but it is not compatible with my current cell phone.
