I also have Pixel 8a and have no issues with the camera. I’m by no means a photographer though and I don’t think I have much of an eye for that sort of thing, but it works perfectly fine for my purposes, ie snapping a photo of anything interesting I see in my daily life, or if I want to show something to my friends by taking a picture of it. iirc the FOSS options don’t give as high quality of a result as Google’s proprietary camera app but all I need is photos to be legible so it’s more than sufficient for me. If photo quality is very important to you then maybe you could use Google’s camera app with sandboxed google play? I’ve never tried doing that before so I dunno if it works.

(you may want to post this to !privacy@lemmy.ml or a similar community… I suppose GOS uses the Linux kernel technically but I think this community is for desktop Linux lol)

GOS is really nice. It’s very seamless and user-friendly, whilst still being very unbloated and minimal. You still have everything you’d expect to have on a phone but the environment is nicely minimal and lets you only install the software you want.

I’ve been using GOS as my exclusive mobile OS for many years, never had any technical problems with it.

You can use bluetooth headphones or usb-c headphones. Including the bluetooth headphones google sells. Afaik they are still just bluetooth headphones.

How easy is to transfer data from GrapheneOS to debian and the other way round?

I know that? I’m just saying that MS categorised it as such. It would be strange to include the part about MS’s responses if MS also found that the vulnerability was not what the researchers claimed it was.

MS said they fixed it and categorised it as a “moderate severity vulnerability” so presumably they did in fact gain root access to the container

Aside from the fact that it was stored in a public database, there’s no need to store photos of the IDs at all. The account can just be marked as verified and move on.

Also I doubt that measure would keep a man out if he really wanted to join…

Are you the UK? No, you’re someone who lives there. The UK is a state.

Minecraft server will be Java so should be no problem. I ran a vanilla MC server on Ubuntu for years. Even if OP is running a modded server, all the mods will be Java too so I can’t see a problem.
