Looks great for summer. The many pockets seem especially practical for organizing wads of travel cash and supplements like creatine, protein powder, magnesium capsules, etc. They should consider producing a niqab version for Middle Eastern countries like Saudi Arabia.
I strongly advise keeping all supplements in a checked bag, with good written labels about what they are. I keep them in ziploc bags with very clear labels. For mixed stacks, write DAILY VITAMINS, DAILY PROTEIN, etc.
If you carry them with you while going through security, you're just asking to be strip searched and questioned.
I can only speak towards TSA in the US, but they explicitly state that they do not search for drugs; their priority is to screen for explosives, weapons, things of that nature. Anytime I travel with my beloved Mystery Powder supplements, I always just put them in my carry-on luggage. I've lost count of how many times I've done this, and it's never been an issue, stateside and abroad.
Of course, all of the supplements etc I've traveled with have been very much legal and mainstream enough (e.g. creatine, magnesium), in case security do get suspicious, but it has not once been an issue.
Even if that were true, if you carry bulk powders in your carry-on, at minimum it is their assumed responsibility to visually examine it for not being an explosive powder. I have had to remove these powders from the carry-on bag for them to see. After seeing the labels, they consulted a senior officer, and only then let me through. For this reason, if I have a check-in bag, I keep it there.
Oh, I probably should have mentioned that I almost always keep my powders capped - I just cap them myself at the doses I need. Keeping the powder loose probably does raise more flags. I'm just so used to capping them, I didn't even think about how sketchy loose powder in ziploc baggies could look.
I wasn't aware that Germany had super low income taxes. It is certainly possible to game the welfare system and many people do, but if you want a decent standard of living then you need to be employed.
if you marry you basically half your income tax burden if your partner is not employed. there are also child support payments from the government of several hundred € per month that you get as well as free kindergarten, schooling and higher ed. if you are poor you get money from the state until you hit a minimum income threshhold which together with all the other payments is more than enough to have 2 children.
You don't see how it doesn't make sense for Graphene to reject a company because it doesn't handle security according to their standards, but be OK with a company that is actively malicious?
They announced a partnership with Motorola. They are not just making an OS for their devices, they are partnering with them. There is a fundamental difference between taking a device and making an OS for it, and partnering with its manufacturer. The latter leads to the assumption that Graphene condones Motorola's security practices, and Motorola condones Graphene producing an OS for their devices. The former does not.
The details of the partnership are mostly disclosed in the joint announcements but GrapheneOS has no say or influence on Motorola's stock Android image and policy.
The main objective of the partnership is to do what you described in the former case, get Motorola up to a standard where GraphenOS could support the phone. They could not previously take a Motorola phone and build GrapheneOS for it because of numerous basic requirements they did not yet meet. I can guess that GrapheneOS only really condone the efforts Motorola will put in to meet their support requirements as a platform.
Motorola also gets to incorporate a subset of GrapheneOS's features and improvements as enterprise targeted Motorola features. GrapheneOS do not have any direct influence over the apps and policies for the stock GMS Android image Motorola ship with their phones. Motorola have no significant say in what GrapheneOS does with their OS. GrapheneOS can assist Motorola in hardening efforts at the OS and firmware layer etc.
The entire premise of GrapheneOS is total control of the device. There is no way they would release a Motorola phone with GrapheneOS installed, but with unremovable bloatware.
You'd still be walking around as a free advertiser for their stuff, simply by owning Google-branded hardware. And of course the hypocrisy of having a Google phone to avoid Google spying is palpable.
I doubt people notice that sort of thing. Maybe whether you have an iPhone or an Android at most. Avoiding Google spying isn't the point of GrapheneOS anyway
