This is true American freedom what these guys are fighting for here. Something we clearly don't have now in 2023. Thank you Louis, Mr. Merril and everyone else involved. I'm totally supporting your cause in every way I can.

This was exactly the confirmation I was looking for. Looking forward to getting a new pixel and getting calyxOS.

the difficulties is not developing an OS, is the alternative apps to be ready in the first day of launching the OS! then the user will be comfortable to ditch any os in the market

Aurora lags a lot...and fails to connect. I only put it on to download my banking app. Ill probably take it off.

Hello Nick Merrill, I purchased a hotspot from your company for 2FA. It has message blocking on the service. How can the message blocking turned off for my hotspot? I have contact tech support as well as Caylx with no help.

I don't understand how FUTO came to up with a grant for CalyxOS an highly less secure/private operating system than GrapheneOS!!

[@meatpopsicle8798]

Calm down Micay, this is why you missed out on your grant.

[@mydevices768]

@@meatpopsicle8798 Nope, not him! Just very intrigued about this decision. Maybe you can help me understand cause I follow their social on X, pretty much everything and to me they make a lot of sense, which is why coming from smart folks like Louis I find it incomprehensible.
