I'm no scammer at all. And I don't need to read my timeline to know what I think. I already know it.
All I'd want is cooperation among altroms, you made it clear you don't want to cooperate with others because you think they are scammers. It's ok, I'm sad about it and I won't ask you again to do it. I'll give a try to graphene OS when it will be released (on non pixel devices) provided the OEM is not from the US.

I don't want mass surveillance and if chat control became a tool for mass surveillance I would be the first one to be against it.

I promote nothing at all. All I want is an easily accessible non big tech-os for the masses.

go ahead with graphene OS, keep being skeptical about other altroms, keep not trusting the EU and isolate urself from anyone using a google device or ur privacy will be useless.

not trolling at all. I'm sick and tired of people overcriticizing the EU while everywhere else is hell on earth. Im tired of alternative OS developers not wanting to work together for a European alternative to big techs for the masses. You think you know it all because you have ur privacy tools on ur phone? Guess what, all people saving ur phone number on their google phone are tracked and you are too. We need a solution for the masses!!

Yes the EU is terrible, time to move to Russia, see you there!

what you call surveillance, I call legitimate right for a state to grant security to all citizens. We live in a democracy and in order for a government to actually spy on chats, a judge should intervene or whatever. There can be different levels of access. Just, it's what someone responsible for granting everyone security would want. Privacy comes after security.

I dont give a shit about extreme privacy, a government who wants to track you will do it anyway with Israeli software Paragon. I want to be set free from US big tech companies, not from my own country. You are basically denying the authority of the state when saying so and thus I can not agree with you. We dont live in Russia, China or Trump's America. We live in Europe and we are basically free to do and say whatever we want.

it also depends on what you want to defend yourself from. I dont give a sht about being defended by the EU government because I trust it. I care about being defended by big techs because I dont trust them and Murena does a good job in that sense

2026-01-03 14:00:53 GMT

Murena have around 100k users worldwide. The government wont earn much from such limited user base

OFC not. Should Europe become an authoritative place I would be the first to fight against it.
So far it's one of the very few places on earth I could say Im proud to belong to.
GrapheneOS can remain an option for places with authoritarian goverments, I see /e/OS as a more user friendly "for the masses" commercial approach that wants to offer an alternative to google and Apple and I see nothing bad about it.

ever heard of Israeli Pegasus spyware? Can u prevent that on graphene OS?

2026-01-03 13:15:05 GMT

can u see why a government may want a device to be backdoorable?

do you think mine is an attack?

2026-01-03 13:04:05 GMT

no, it's a problem for European users.

top 10 means not European. Just make sure it is not an American company and it supports:
120hz/variable refresh rate
NFC payments
Wireless charging/MAGSAFE standard.
I think you should anyway work with someone and find a compromise with the EU government.

2026-01-03 12:52:19 GMT

I fully agree with this.

false.
Zoom out a bit.
You are on the same fking side against big tech and trying to build a different answer just with slightly different approach.
You value privacy and security over ease of use and they value UX/UI over security.
Think about what would happen if you both joined forces???
A good UX UI in a private and secure OS? WHY DO YOU FORCE UR USERS TO CHOOSE!!!

2026-01-03 12:44:51 GMT

- reply

Do you realize that it is the government that makes the policy, not you?
Increasingly authoritarian where? Not Europe.
I value European Digital sovereignty over Privacy or Security. Even though I mainly use Open Source apps.
It definitely looks like you are fighting a fight of your own and will remain a super niche OS for privacy and security geeks.
Murena is trying to reach the widest user base and to do so u have to do some compromise.

I'm not defending Murena, I think their security can definitely be improved and their nextcloud instance leaves a lot to be desired. But fragmentation is not the answer. You have proved amazing dev skills and get praised for that. You are a security and privacy guru. Just work with the government, not against it. You can expect the government to accept an impossible-to-detect OS that CAN be used with bad intentions. Not saying WILL, just CAN.

Cause while u keep fighting for 0,00001% marketshare Apple and Google have 99,99999%
Put both ur egos aside and start working together for
ONE
GOOD
RELIABLE
SECURE
PRIVATE
EUROPEAN
MOBILE OS

1) A business to be reliable and sustainable must earn money somehow.
2) There are different ways to make money, some are acceptable, some are not.
3) I'm a /e/OS user and have been a Graphene OS user in the past. I'm willing to pay for a European company to make a good OS and a reliable cloud service (which murena doesn't have).
4) If Murena has privacy and security issues help them get better instead of starting a whole new OS and foster fragmentation

and Yes, it's up to the EU to make the security policy, not the OS devs. You need more users to talk peer to peer with EU legislators

I don't get why alternate OS devs keep fighting each other instead of unite to fight against the real enemy. Just make one, good, reliable European OS and stop fighting for your 0,0001% marketshare you idiots.
