Regarding the implementation of GrapheneOS's Google Play Services sandbox, I particularly like it and if it is to be considered something to popularize the use of open source OS (GrapheneOS), limiting Google's data collection (since the use of Google Play Services sandbox is completely opt-in), it also maintains compatibility and avoids many issues so as not to alienate the general public from enjoying the other benefits of using an open source OS, something that MicroG does not do, however, I use it and I think it is an incredible project, but take into account the perspective of popularizing open source by the general public without associating it with software issues.

That is why, when I refer to understanding the purpose of the CalyxOS project, I really understand, what I mean is that there is no prospect of changing and becoming a more hardened Custom ROM benefiting its users. A lot of things could be improved. There are resources for that.

NOTE: I know about the end of the Divested Project development, which is worthy of applause for the time of contribution to the community and of thanks without a doubt. I only used it as an example of a truly hardened Custom ROM and that should be the goal for those who say that their OS is suitable for journalists like the CalyxOS team.

AFAIK, Mailbox.org was once open source, but has not very recently become closed source. PrivacyGuides.org recommends it, as does Tresorit (encrypted cloud storage), for example, which is closed source and is one of the services I use. Providers that implement encryption, have been audited, have been on the market for years, and have a clean track record of security or privacy scandals, which there aren't many of these types of services these days. But I personally don't like them and try my best to avoid closed source softwares as well.

In conclusion, PrivacyGuides mostly recommends open source software but also recommends some that are not based on their features, reputation, security and maturity.

Tuta has already been through some cases linked to German court orders to decrypt emails received in the inbox of alleged criminals, just like any other company that is subject to the legislation of its respective country (I don't know the difference with Proton, which until now I only found out about the delivery of IPs, not the content of the emails themselves, based on Swiss court orders), but I don't believe it is a honeypot because Tuta has clarified the entire issue and still has credibility in the privacy community.

Mailbox.org is closed source unfortunately and I believe the Client is too

It's worth watching, yes. To understand the purpose of CalyxOS, you must understand the purpose of the project, of course. We can't simply say that it's a terrible Custom ROM for privacy, as he did. It was quite wrong and in bad faith to say that a project that, yes, is much better than using a Stock ROM, however, the fact that he compared it to other Custom ROMs that also claim to focus on privacy and showed that CalyxOS doesn't differ much from them is completely valid and truly a fact. DivestOS, with only one developer at the helm, was much more hardened than it. Which makes one wonder why CalyxOS, with an entire team behind it, doesn't follow the same example. It really is disappointing. Want to prove it? Check out the website (https://eylenburg.github.io/android_comparison.htm) he shows in the video and see for yourself.

Sorry. I've already added it.

UPDATE: Andy Reply

According to Andy's logic, if Hitler were the president of some unfortunate country, we should differentiate the boss from his good nominees. Even using a company founded by an entire community to show a good evaluation made by one of its founders to give him a loving pat on the back and show the world that he is not completely bad as they think, but not meaning that the founder agrees with all his innocent actions, of course, such as disregarding the rights of many people around the world because they are just part of the democratic game.

Really disappointing. Never imagined this from Proton. Truly dead to me now.

[–] [email protected] 42 points 3 weeks ago

Abandoning the Proton subscription now. How stupid and irresponsible. In fact, are running away from all your principles.

It works perfectly for me too. I've been using it for a long time.

My friend, don't make this type of post. You're just going to get kicked here! LOL

I had discarded this option, so I was looking for other ways to communicate as I was unable to create a Gitlab account due to problems authenticating my bank details.

However, today I did it.

The issue has been created.

Issue

 

This has happened a few times, but it was always related to the use of VPNs because the app is not available in the country of the server, but now, even if I disable the VPN, change the spoofing model of the smartphone, open from a direct link from the Play store (in which the app page opens, however, with almost no information, such as version, permissions, size and so on, and the download doesn't start. Is in the attached image), uninstall and reinstall, it doesn't appear.

Suddenly, the aurora store of my work profile appeared the apps and the user profile specifically for banking apps, no.

I checked the settings of each one and they are exactly the same.

I really don't know what the problem is.

Nothing seems to work.

Can anyone help me?

 

The changelog page for version 2.13.7 for Android is not available. Does anyone know anything about it?

 

I'm not a technical person, but I found these connections, Dropbox and Bitly weird, since I don't use any of that.

Can anyone clarify if these are normal connections or is there something unusual?

 

I use xprivacylua to prevent whatsapp from having access to most of the possible software and hardware information to mitigate the fingerprint and now I'm also using the imagepipe to send any image through it.

However, the doubt came.

And the photos taken directly into the option within the application?

Can you still capture metadata?

Note: I use degoogle smartphone. And I do not speak English so excuse any fault.
