Why isn’t the zap sign showing on Damus ? Any idea @rejon ?

As far as revealing specifics that's outside my purview and would come from the main project/foundation accounts.

From what is already in the public domain though we were in discussions and thought we had found an OEM interested in working with us but they got sidetracked by a different focus (crypto). We think they would have have had a much more successful project if they'd heavily collaborated us and focused on making a highly private/secure device. We're still open to this, however as it stands has stalled.

We're currently in talks with another, major OEM, about early collaboration which we hope will eventually lead to them producing devices which we can support. This is going to take longer than expected since things didn't work out with the previous OEM we were in talks with, mentioned above.

This interpretation surprises me, curious to know what you determine we're defending against?

In real terms this is not an attempt to defend us but defend end users from misappropriated and redefined clear terminology used to mislead.

We would genuinely love to see any one of these OEMs provide a Pixel level device. We are always looking for an OEM to do so, in the effort of making GrapheneOS first party software. Ubfortunately like Obi-Wan with Anakin too many of them take the path to become Vader.

happy day to be in CR, the ocean provides. PV

The way deeper in is the way out. You have to have some tolerance for ambiguity to use a Google phone in order to be safe and private from Google. Supporting the company with money by buying their product? Well, give to Cesar what is Cesar's.

Plenty of Pixels on the aftermarket though, which is even better privacy wise.

I’m in Lebanon orange pilling an NGO called Rebirth Beirut.

With the collapse of the energy grid they raise money to restore street and traffic lights.

Do me a solid and send some sats to this QR code to show them how badass #bitcoin  is.

That's the point. Sandboxed google play services has been the perfect expansion from GrapheneOS. I ended up using it since one year and I am really impressed how well it works. Perfect solution bringing apps relaying on google services within separate profiles. Love it!
