I run graphene. Its awesome. But I can't convince any family or friends to use it. They don't see the point for the hassle, and think that the reasons are conspiracy theories. Unfortunately most people just dont see or care about the risks

I empathize more with normies than with bitcoiners that won't install Graphene because "my banking app won't work"

Such a lame proof of stake excuse

Interestingly, my banking app works fine. No Google services either. Granted, that could change. And I barely keep funds in it anymore anyway. Besides, you can use a browser minus check deposit.

Many banks are not allowing you to do that these days, though, claiming "security vulnerabilities" in browsers.🙄

Never seen that before. They actually may be right, but it's all archaic anyway. Funny enough I saw a notification email saying some fiat was withdrawn from my account. I had half a moment of panic before chuckling. I'm almost 100% in self-custody Bitcoin. I'm good. Turned out it was a large withdrawal for a Bitcoin conversion I made the other day. 😂 It was a beautiful moment.

Sure, but I trust a more hardened, locked down browser than most banking apps that want too many permissions just to exist. 😑

Sure, but almost none of their users are like us. I get you, but it's all moot now anyway. They're so legacy

Can’t you just dual boot? I remember using MultiRom on my Nexus (before I became an Apple fag), could boot into the glorious SailfishOS, Ubuntu Phone and Android whenever I wanted.
