  • In the event they abandon again, they’re leaving even more users vulnerable. The only thing CalyxOS has over AOSP is the removal of the Google Play Store… in exchange for microG, which runs with elevated permissions as well. Ignoring that, as I said in my comment above the one you’re replying to, a third of the supported devices are GrapheneOS compatible. The other two thirds are covered by LineageOS, which imo is just as secure as CalyxOS (probably even more secure than Calyx given they abandoned their community for about 10 months).



  • I’m gonna sound like a shill, but your claim that “Calyx will literally save lives from ICE” is crazy.

    After abandoning their users by pausing all updates, and given that a third of their supported devices are Google Pixels, any one with a Google Pixel is significantly better off on GrapheneOS.

    ICE has shown their hand in what they’re willing to waste tax payer money on, so one must assume they have access to Graykey / Cellebrite, and Calyx does very little to prevent physical attacks. Even on the digital side, Calyx does nothing to increase app security and the device sandbox, and given ICE’s partnership with Paragon Solutions, it’s only a matter of time before malware comes into play.

    Calyx is better than base AOSP (barely imo), but if you have a Pixel, there is a much better option that might actually save your life if it came to it.

    To be clear, and sorry if this is a dumb question, when you and the study say “trans(gender) women” does it mean MTF (born male, transitioned to female), or FTM (born female, transitioned to male)?

    It’s my understanding that the gender after transgender ____ (e.g. transgender women) referred to their current gender.


  • Ok, I see you are in fact not a bot. My mistake. In future I’ll avoid jumping to such sudden conclusions. I hope you enjoy your stay on Lemmy!

    As for the AI image… Yeah, you should probably avoid those here. Some communities are more welcoming than others, but generally AI is quite disliked in the privacy community. It also makes you look very bot-like when you use one as your first ever post.
