We should challenge some of those superlatives that projects such as GrapheneOS can coin from time to time. Those projects are not abstract master entities, they have people behind of it and they are not authorities in all subject matters. They are correct about Gecko browsers insecurities on Android however it may be questionable the use of the term “leagues ahead” in this comparative. I use GrapheneOS and Vanadium but I don’t believe that using some Gecko hardened browser would be so terrible like it sound. Specially if you are not a focused target. For example, I keep Tor as a secondary browser for some specific tasks on my phone.

People could perhaps start helping more the Servo project. They really need some help and for those that program in Rust or want to learn it this could be a very good place to devote your attention.

This looks promising, very similar to Metro but an active project. Thanks for sharing.

If you need it for Android, I tried quite a few. I had the same requisites, offline, lyrics for flac files, I ended up using Metro: https://f-droid.org/packages/io.github.muntashirakon.Music/

Very minimalist and do the job very well. I use the field “Composer” to sort my lists.

A significant security drawback with many alternative Android operating systems is that they either require or are commonly used with root access, which inherently weakens the device’s security model. GrapheneOS, by contrast, is designed to be used without root access. Traditional root implementations fundamentally compromise Android’s security mechanisms like verified boot, app sandboxing, and the principle of least privilege, making the device much more vulnerable to exploitation.

South american here, I grew up knowing those animals and capybaras and I find fascinating when the rest of the world get to know those creatures and have a blast. It is cool that something trivial for me is something amusing for someone else.

Here are two interesting( I guess) shots:

Google turning Pixels more and more complicated to have alternative OS isn’t a good sign. I hope GrapheneOS come up with a open source and secure phone alternative. Fairphone or TeraCubes using alternative OSes aren’t private or secure enough. I hate to say that but if I would be in the market today for a phone I’d be considering an IPhone.

I’d sleep the two days, nobody would mess with me.

The way that I see, Linux phones will only get traction when we are able to install android apps and use high end spec phones with good security. I hope that I’m wrong.

Let’s face it, who do you think elected the Mr. President?
