Looking forward to watching! Been running it for a couple weeks and just loving it, especially the battery Iife.

Gonna use this later this week after i pick up my new phone

Thank you Ben!

Sounds like a great operating system. Maybe I should try it...

Nice one. Being google free is awesome

Best educator in the BTC space. I always send the no coiners and new coiners over to BTC Sessions YouTube.

Sound great !

Exactly people need! Well done Ben!!! Keep going with this excellent job! Make, not only Bitcoin, but all daily life more cypherpunk again!

How is loading Google Play anything and uploading the video to YouTube ditching Google? Looks like you have an Odysee channel, but you haven't uploaded there for 5 years. https://odysee.com/@btcsessions:8?r=7W1KYGBbqRUJazTYBezMV5qaUTU2YsBq

At this point, maybe people will need to learn Linux next once they start de-Googling, de-Appling, de-Microsofting, etc. I use Linux and Graphene to get away from the commercial and proprietary AI slop.

Nice video

Good video and I could be wrong, but I believe the whole point of gOS sandboxed play services, is that apps can't leak data to other apps. So creating a separate user account just for play services is not needed, unless you want separate users for reasons other than data privacy. Also, regardless of sandboxed services, data given to apps downloaded from gplay store is still sent to those apps. Just something to keep in mind.

Graphene is fine for those in first world, but for those with tiny salaries in poor countries consider lineageOS and iodéOS. Plus it's always good to save some sats.

Just got an older pixel so will definitely be following along! Also when are bitvoiners going to space to start a new colony in the La Grange points.

Phoenix wallet doesnt work on grapheneos without G services 🤮😭

Can't wait to watch it before you get de-platformed again...

man, i've tried at least 4 times over the last handful of years to move from an iphone to a graphene pixel and just can't do it. longest i lasted was 3 days once, but it simply isn't up to the task imo. particularly if you want to run an app like mysudo to give you access to multiple numbers, if you want to use apple/google pay for credit card privacy from merchants, and if you want decent hardware (i used up to a pixel 8 which was shit, terrible battery life and terrible fingerprint reader) now i daily drive an iphone but use it in the most minimalist way possible: https://thenewoil.org/en/guides/most-important/mobile-settings/

How about connecting a working LN-address, which will enable plebs to zap you freedom money?

Excited to watch! 🚀

I've scrubbed through this a bit but from what I saw it seemed to be online bickering. Maybe I missed if there was real concerns about the OS or not. I'm not married to any one solution, and think it's good to investigate other options. I've tried Calyx as well... But I believe that project is currently not doing updates. Any other suggestions of phone OS options I should cover?

Will take a look!

BTC maxis and their credit cards and iphones. Lol!

did you read the part about mysudo not working? i feel that improves my privacy pretty dramatically by being able to use 9 different numbers to segregate who has what phone number for me. also having to type in my pin in public constantly because the fingerprint reader is absolute shit is another security flaw. the number of cameras everywhere, they'll definitely get your unlock pin if you're typing it in public

Less traffic I supposed on Odysee.

apps have full ability (no restrictions) to communicate with each other when they are in the same profile.

No, that's not true. Please don't spread misinformation.

Good idea. Just did it. Thanks.

This is so cool. Can't wait to setup my phone like this. Thanks nostr-sphere for getting me on track for this🙏 nostr:nevent1qqsp5ary00m6ckkhfd0q56t4gqx3u7e5pl7zd8cy2tw3wlxzlx7zqkqpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgsuyf52

it is true, sorry you're misinformed. ask nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnddaehgu3wwp6kyqpq235tem4hfn34edqh8hxfja9amty73998f0eagnuu4zm423s9e8ks3f750r or do some reading on your own there is nothing in grapheneos that prevents apps in the same profile from mutually choosing to communicate with each other. this is why many users use multiple profiles, particularly to segment off google play services. they have been thinking about/working on an "App Communication Scopes" feature, which would allow users to explicitly stop some apps from communicating with others, but today that does not exist ------------------------- " in a nutshell, apps can communicate with each other via "IPC" or inter-process communication. It's an important part of Android and many features rely on it, i.e. opening files with another app, share buttons, notifications, etc. It's important to note that IPC only works if apps are set up to do so. Apps cannot just arbitrarily start sending data to other apps or request data from them. Many in the community want control over whether apps can communicate with each other. An example would be Google/Pixel Camera. Many people want to use it but are afraid the app will communicate with Google Play, so they don't use it. With App Communication Scopes, we can isolate apps from others." https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/10928-app-communication-scopes-stock-android-features/6

In your last video you've said, that you have to use btc core. Just adjust the datacarriersize to 42. And when version 30 will be released you can do it changing it in the config file. Maybe a good short tutorial for your next video. You could also ad how to change the knits version to a listening node. My settings for example are. Outgoing peer connections: clear nodes, tor nodes, i2p and all clear nodes via tor. Incoming peer connection: tor, i2p. Max peer connections: 32. It depends of your internet bandwidth.
