I'll try and test some games on it tomorrow.

Running other distros in the VM manager other than Debian would be desirable and something we'd like to work on when we are less ambushed with major update porting. Unsure how broad OS support will be yet.

Not as much as you'd think, to be honest, but don't expect to be blown away with the performance.

Yes. In this setup the device is plugged into a USB-C monitor that has a keyboard and mouse connected to it. The standard phone display is still useable during this.

Yes. This example is with DisplayPort Alt Mode on a Pixel 9.

One per user profile for now. This makes it more than Android since they have Private Space only in Owner. Supporting multiple private spaces a profile would be desirable for the future.

That would be the experimental terminal app which is a separate thing I hadn't demonstrated. There's a lot of other changes we'd like to make regarding the Terminal app as well.

This is how the Desktop Mode looks in #GrapheneOS. Here you can see how some apps look. Below is a screenshot of me typing this post in Amethyst and two instances of Vanadium on different profiles (Private Spaces) demonstrating unique VPN connections to the same applications on the same workspace. Here is how the apps resize. This will continue to be improved in the Android 16 QPR2 based release of GrapheneOS on the way and possibly be available outside of a developer option in Android 17.

I try not to use Twitter. Even the information / cyber security side of it has become so tarred with slop. Valuable technical discussion has diminished into surface level information formatted as engagement farm content.

I'm neutral on it. I wouldn't say his anecdote is made up. Most people are using GrapheneOS just for simple reasons like more security. I do know people in NGOs relying on GrapheneOS for their operations because they've told us though. Edward Snowden (who I would say is both *less* and *more* targeted than people think) also admits he uses it every day. I wouldn't be shocked if employees of major cyber operations agencies is using GrapheneOS on their personal devices too. We aren't exactly unknown.

The 8a is a small leap but provides years longer update time and a gigantic security boost. You also get the DisplayPort Alt Mode for this feature. What I usually recommend new users to get now.

Been eyeing one myself. Will be game changer when this feature is production ready.

You can connect Pixels with DisplayPort alt mode (8 and higher) to an external display and it will work. You get a desktop environment and can run all your installed apps in floating windows. Need to enable developer options though, in the future you wont need to. You can't run Linux apps in a good and easy way yet. A working desktop mode for Android apps is the base to build an environment for desktop applications in the future. Want to support Fedora and (if we're reaching for the stars) Windows ARM as potential platform targets. You can use the Linux Terminal app and enable GUI to use a virtualized Debian environment with GUI apps. We did it with desktop Chromium before and even some DE's like GNOME. It's a very experimental developer option and breaks even in very basic use right now. Doesn't work through VPN either. Upstream will improve this as well.

"You don't care about the user's security or privacy at all. Meanwhile here is an uncomfortably large amount of information about how I allegedly killed someone, dodged a warrant and fled the country."

We don't believe they had any access to start with. He's making an excuse about why he got caught, if it's even real. If you see the original posts you can see he submitted heavily redacted, no context, straight incorrect 'proofs' of this too... Their basis for it being our fault (you allegedly KILLED someone, how the fuck is it anyone's but yours?) is that they seized a GrapheneOS device, had zero confirmation or anything the data was accessed, they got released, and then a warrant arrived again later. People can be brung back in for any particular reason... His Telegram page is gold btw, has a bunch of screenshots of cryptocurrency transactions and mass mailer apps. Sounds like he made his money from phishing scams and got caught with the wrong guys... Up those charges! He is assuming because he didn't expect another warrant because apparently his lawyer said it... Keep in mind lawyers aren't cops and only know as much as the suspect does who is already an unreliable narrator. He isn't going out investigating a crime scene.

Opened a VPS here.

Redox is a fully working (but limited) operating system and is a microkernel. This is just a kernel project that also doesn't specify that if it is a microkernel or not (don't have time to see if it is right now) which is something we are explicitly interested in.

Info thread: #GrapheneOS is being heavily targeted by the French state because we provide highly secure devices and won't include backdoors for law enforcement access to our software. They're conflating us with companies selling closed source products using portions of our code. Considering it is easy to search GrapheneOS online and read our documentation, you can only assume this is intentional. Both French state media and corporate media are publishing many stories attacking the GrapheneOS project based on false and unsubstantiated claims from French law enforcement. This has even escalated to broadcast media. They've made a clear threat to seize our servers and arrest our developers if we do not cooperate by adding backdoors. Due to this, we're leaving French service providers and will leave / never operate in France. In these attack pieces, they describe GrapheneOS with features not present in our software and showing sites and guides not in our control nor authored by us. We need substantial help from the community to push back against this across platforms. People malicious towards us are also using it as an opportunity to spread libel/harassment content targeting our team, raid our chat rooms and much more. /e/ and iodéOS are both based in France, and are both actively attacking GrapheneOS. /e/ receives substantial government funding. Both are extremely non-private and i which is why France is targeting us while those get government funding. We need a lot more help than usual and we're sending out a notification for situational awareness. If people help us, it will enable us to focus more on development again including releasing experimental Pixel 10 releases very soon. Spread the word about this current situation.

More people should have the new updates with the UI refresh now.
