Asking for support is not brigading. The vouch button exists for a reason.
Yeah it is. Their infrastructure costs are super tiny, the biggest percent of funding goes to pay the dev team, and many are paid a wage comparable to where they live, they dont get inflated US software dev wages or…
GrapheneOS makes 100% of their money off of donations, and have made quite a lot of it. The bottleneck is not funding, but finding talented developers to pay with that money.
The notification the Messaging app produces should have the option to copy the one time code directly.
At least it is now consistent with the rest of the OSs UI.
GrapheneOS has made a big push to hire a bunch of experienced, talented app devs, and they have been slowly chipping away at Messaging for a few months. They now have the resources to take on the AOSP apps and resume…
GrapheneOS wants to eventually support RCS in the default chat app. It may take a lot of time for it to work without google components/google services but it is the eventual plan.
Not yet, but they do plan to add support for it.
GPLv2 and Apache 2.0 are not incompatible licenses when bundled together. GPLv3 is the problematic license as it requires all code it is bundled with be GPLv3 as well. When it comes to AOSP/GOS, bundled apps are not…
Whether or not you tolerate using RCS is up to you. Not supporting it for the sake of having a worse default option on the off-chance you can use the to convince them to use a better option is not a good reason to not…
Florisboard.
Unsure what you mean by link against it. GPLv3 requires making the entire project it is bundled with GPLv3 as well. GrapheneOS would need to relicense the entire OS and bundled apps as GPLv3 to allow them to use any app…
That is not true. AOSP can run all modern android apps, and google play APIs are provided as alternatives, but not replacements, for AOSP functionality.
GrapheneOS has ~500000+ users and climbing. It is getting rapid mainstream awareness and appeal and is partnered with a top 10 OEM.
Yes, the GPLv2 license does not have the same restrictions GPLv3 does, it does not necessitate making the code it is bundled with GPLv2.
It is true, and if Ubuntu is shipping apps as a part of the OS with incompatible licenses, that is a crime.
The Refra gallery fork would replace the current ancient gallery app. That would be bundled with the OS. Doing the same with the fossify suite or similar would be illegal. These licenses do not treat apps or libraries…
What? The Messages overhaul has been going on in the background for months. They announced it near the end of the port rather than the start. What is wrong with that? It has nothing to do with AI. You can check github…
If you are referring to Heliboard as an AOSP board replacement, that cannot work, GrapheneOS cannot use GPLv3 projects. If you mean it as a user installed app, please disregard.
