> LineageOS really should be based directly on GrapheneOS

I get the point you're trying to make, but in reality, it wouldn't be very useful. Many security features of GrapheneOS could easily be bypassed, due to flaws in LineageOS, such as the fact that they ship userdebug instead of production builds, don't really allow for bootloader relocking, etc. High-level improvements like the GrapheneOS hardened memory allocator, Auditor app (hardware-based remote attestation/device integrity monitoring), etc. are pretty useless, when the entire system has an unlocked bootloader and thus no verified boot, weakend SELinux policies due to the use of userdebug builds, etc. GrapheneOS also purposely narrows the list of supported devices for security reasons. They mandate a high-quality secure element, hardware memory tagging, etc. whereas LineageOS tries to support as many devices as possible. Those two very different philosophies simply aren't compatible.

I think they're referring to past contributions to AOSP from GrapheneOS developers.

Klarna also offers tap to pay in their app, at least in Germany. Not sure whether that's the case in the rest of Europe or elsewhere.

Klarna has NFC tap to pay in their app too. Not sure if it works outside Europe though.

You can also use a privacy screen protector. Or use the two factor fingerprint unlock, which requires both a fingerprint and a PIN to unlock. And that's only after first unlock, so you can still use a separate, strong passphrase for BFU state.

And fully disable the USB port (GrapheneOS-exclusive feature). This will make it impossible to extract data with mobile forensics software/devices (such as the Cellebrite UFED).

This makes no sense. GrapheneOS is open source, while SailfishOS isn't. On top of that, GrapheneOS is much more secure.

Straight up conspiracy theories you're spreading here. Daniel Micay is Canadian, Dmytro Mukhomor is Ukrainian (he was literally conscripted into the Ukrainian army last year), and Khalykbek Yelshibekov is from Kazakhstan.

> Micay is somewhat Russian-sounding too

Sorry what?
