A lof of banking apps do work on grapheneOS: privsec.dev/…/banking-applications-compatibility-…

Some work, some are more of a pain in the ass (2fa for every single interaction even with biometrics enabled), and some don’t work. You lose anything that relies on Google pay, so no public transit passes or anything like that, no tap to pay, etc.
And more to the point, the main graphene guy has unaddressed mental health issues and refuses to seek treatment, and I genuinely don’t feel comfortable with that one man show controlling my phone. Is google evil? Yes. Unstable? Not really, they are evil in generally predictable ways. I do actually hope he seeks help because nobody should live the way he does, but last I heard from earlier this year he’s still up to his same old behaviors.

Daniel Micay stepped down last year
[1]. Also, he was allegedly being swatted which would put anyone on edge, considering someone has already been killed over it[2]and police aren’t exactly known for treating people humanely.Looks like there’s 16 people involved in the project
[3]- excluding any external contributors, that’s definitely more than one. Granted, its probably the previous lead and the new one who have the most commits, I haven’t looked, but its still not just a single developer. That said, your concern is valid. Smaller projects are more likely to die as soon as their main contributors lose interest or stop working on it for any reason - see the end of DivestOS as a prime example[4].[1]androguru.com/…/lead-developer-of-grapheneos-step…[2]www.cnn.com/2019/09/14/us/…/index.html[3]github.com/orgs/GrapheneOS/people[4]www.divestos.org/pages/news#endfrayedpickles@lemmy.cafe 1 week ago
Yep, I’ve seen this ~exact post a several times, same general structure and points, none of it acknowledging that the attacks on other people in the community started long before the alleged swat (no, I don’t actually believe it based on every other persecution complex lie he’s told, but that’s neither here nor there).
Nor does it acknowledge that he “stepped down” seemingly in name alone, still having full control of the project (I’ll admit I’m fuzzier on these details, I read a compelling breakdown but I can’t first-hand corroborate so I’m not going to argue this point past saying “I hear things”).
The real bottom line is this: I’ve been part of this community for years now and have been part of his chat rooms, and have seen first hand his behaviors towards other groups and towards his own supporters and users, all prior to the alleged swatting. You will not convince me he is healthy until I see some meaningful acknowledgement of his past behavior.
