I'd say GrapheneOS and the MrChomeBox projects are similar in holding disdain for their users as a core value

One thing I find actually infuriating about GrapheneOS is their unexplained, unexplored, unquestionable religious mantra that mere enabling of developer tools or ADB is automatically responsible for every aberrant behavior exhibited by the OS rather than their insane paranoid security-at-any-cost philosophy. Yes, I'm sure using ADB to push some audiobooks to my device and turning off UI animations in dev tools is what caused my phone not to be able to run a 2FA tool and Firefox simultane…

It appears that you can resolve most of GrapheneOS's severe performance limitations and tendency to aggressively kill background apps (after like 15 seconds!) by globally disabling "secure app spawning" and per-app disabling the "hardened memory allocator." At that point, however, you're pretty much left with a gimped AOSP that's missing a bunch of core usability functionality yeeted in the name of security, and you might as well install LineageOS. Or maybe Ca…

One of the best features of GrapheneOS is that the Twitter app does not work at all: fails attestation, won't log in, and softblocks your account for suspicious activity. More folks should switch!

Finally got my messaging apps transferred over to the GrapheneOS device!
For Signal, I had to restore a backup file: device-to-device sync failed.
For WhatsApp, I had to use a 5GHz 802.11ac network for the device-to-device transfer; 2.4GHz 802.11ax and 802.11n did not work, resulting in the very helpful error message "something went wrong." Due to GrapheneOS's sandboxing, restoring data from Google Drive didn't work, either, even with ALL permissions granted to …

GrapheneOS should include a threat model slider ranging from "idk I thought the OS name sounded cool" to "I am a target of nation-state intelligence agencies" which adapts the hardness to suit real-world use cases rather than treating everyone like they're 007 on assignment in 1983 Moscow

The best Android keyboard for GrapheneOS is the Google keyboard "GBoard" with its network access permission revoked :-(
I hate to admit it, but a $3,667,000,000,000 company suckling gently at the FL/OSS volunteer teet can produce a more polished and functional product than FL/OSS volunteers on their own. Pity about all the evil shit.

GrapheneOS is a massive fucking pain in the ass, but I am continuing to push on it.

Another GrapheneOS issue: 3-4sec delay between pushing the home/overview button and getting a response. Pretty abysmal.

Just in case anyone was hoping GrapheneOS would support face unlock, even as an option disabled by default, even for the Google Pixel devices with busted-by-design fingerprint sensors: lol keep fuckin' dreaming, noob. Much like Linux in 2026, GrapheneOS isn't about choice. It's about you quietly falling in line and adjusting your expectations, you ungrateful fuckhead leach deserving of mockery and derision and the questioning of your virility and political alignment.
