Barnes & Noble Employee: Can I help you find something?
Me: I'm lookin for Dick!
My partner: Why can't you just say Philip K. Dick like a normal person?

Is Seedvault still the way to backup GrapheneOS? If so, is Seedvault still hit or miss?
My attention has been elsewhere for a bit and I've heard rumors a better way was in the works; is that here/still in the works?

Your post made me think of this other post I've been sitting with recently

Night mode it is! I'd guess turnin on "wait for focus lock", setting image quality to 100%, and enabling Highest Photo Resolution should help.
Thank you!

It's probably late in the day to ask this, but does anyone running @npub1kwa…e0nj have recs on how to best capture a photo of tonight's eclipse with their camera app?

This situation made me think of The Raft in Snow Crash...like this could eventually lead to that.

Is anyone else still running a Pixel 6a with @npub1kwa…e0nj and the updated UI is poorly implemented? Everything got needlessly rounder and larger, and there's just added unnessary space.
The top bar on the app tray (that's not necessary because swiping down anywhere in the app tray) is so large that it forces a row of apps off the bottom of the screen. Vanadium updated, and tappint the 3 dot menu cuts off half of Settings...which can be scrolled down to, but like why?
@npub1kwa…e0nj, can I roll back to whatever UI was implemented before this? Or is this bubbly, oversized, ill fitting UI just part of some Android nonsense upstream of Graphene that I have to swallow if I want the privacy and security this OS offers?

I bought a pixel to move to graphene. Got one for a family member and got them on graphene. I'm working on getting a friend to move over. I'd be stoked if Graphene made their own device - the Pixel is my last Google surface, I'd be stoked to ditch it for whatever you put out.

I might have spun up a Masto account to suggest Graphene - but you're already there!
What's Google doing that's going to complicate custom ROMs and does it look like that'll impact Graphene?
