Wait until you hear about the Alderney pound, Manx pound, Jersey pound, Guernsey pound, Falkland Islands pound, Gibraltar pound, Saint Helena pound, …

anyone dry behind the ears knows to wash there

thanks, i edited the post to link that instead

You asked a question and answered it yourself?

I posted the 10 points according to one source and then said

There are many varied but similar versions of these points circulating elsewhere

I didn’t say that they should be thrown away?

Sorry that I interpreted your comment as suggesting that anything less than a Pixel is not worth trying to improve the security of.

What’s with the hostility?

No hostility intended. But I still don’t understand why you think that omitting Graphene’s Pixel-requiring hardening features would cause Graphite to be less secure than other Android distributions which also lack those features.

Are there any other options with a feature set comparable to GrapheneOS(-minus-pixel-only-hardening-features) ?

Should the world just throw away the billions of non-Pixel devices in use today?

And/or should everyone just give up on improving security at all for the vast majority of phone users who cannot afford Pixels, since they can’t ever be as secure as a Pixel?

see my other comment in this thread

those benefits rely on the Pixel’s hardware

Doesn’t GrapheneOS have a lot of benefits besides the 3 pixel-requiring hardening features which are removed in Graphite (and the 3 others which are disabled by default but can be re-enabled on some devices)?

I’m not disputing that those hardening features are worthwhile! Pixels with Graphene are obviously much more difficult to exploit than phones without those features.

But there are billions of non-Pixel phones in the world which aren’t about to be thrown away, and the vast majority of phone users absolutely cannot afford a Pixel. GraphiteOS (if it actually works?) seems to me like it is probably a major improvement over the other options available for them.

At that point I’d just use something like Lineage

My impression is that Graphene-without-the-features-requiring-Pixel-hardware would still be a much more secure operating system than Lineage (or the other options available).

Reading that FAQ I get the impression that it should/could run on a very large number of devices, but maybe there is some caveat I’m missing? 🤔

so that many non-pixel devices can have an OS with most of the benefits of GrapheneOS?

for one thing, you’re in a country where this once happened 🤦

I am a white European Spanish woman

Race is a social construct and in the eyes of your friend’s racist dad you are apparently not white (even if he might have classified you as white if he had only your appearance to go by and hadn’t seen your name).

unfortunately, like its predecessor (Nokia’s Maemo/Meego), Jolla’s SailfishOS has never been (and has never had plans to be) fully free/libre open source software.

many components of it are freely licensed, but not nearly enough to constitute an actual mobile operating system you can use.

Who gives a fuck about an Oxford comma?

to all five of your questions: yes

what happened next? (do the terms actually allow you to cancel it immediately for no cost, or is their $10-per-month-for-nothing offer an alternative to paying a cancellation fee?)

Supersingular isogeny key exchange (SIKE) is very secure post-quantum replacement for Diffie-Hellman…

SIKE!
