Lmfao, verify your mastodon account with a credit card… Who falls for this stuff?

Used phones exist and if you buy ANY android phone google has been paid at some point for licensing not to mention whatever junk the carrier puts on them to subsidize costs.

Only phones with hardware-backed verified boot + bootloader relock using alternative keys (currently only Pixels) can support GrapheneOS correctly (according to the GOS team)

So the only thing this can mean is that moto plans to release new hardware with this capability, because none (other then pixels) currently exists.

Dont expect this to mean GOS is coming to older devices. Its unlikely moto will even sell them preloaded because GOS is not exactly the most consumer friendly android fork.

What is a dummy account in this context?

I have about a dozen accounts i rotate between using when i hit usage limits on cursor and other ai junk. I did pay for them but they cost like $2 each

I run an 8 disk 90tb BTRFS RAID0 and its been going strong for over a year. I hesitate to actually encourage anyone to live this dangerously but its mainly a media server and if i needed to i could restore any lost data from usenet or torrents using my arr stack which is on a different drive. If you can handle the risk its a nice speed boost.

Its not up to grapheneos devs which devices support bootloader relocking with different keys, literally only pixels allow this and without it you cant properly secure the phone.

Dems are gonna call this a huge victory, of course they need more funding, they have to pay for more body cams.

Typically the project will offer its own deb repos and packages along with setup instructions such as steam or docker

In theory you can add LMDE or other debian based distros repos to your sources but it will most likely lead to things breaking. If you cant find instructions specific to debian then you are better off either compiling from source or using snap, appimage or whatever pre-compiled option is offered officially.
