Yeah, here's the Mastodon post announcing Android Auto implementation:

Oh, I don't use Google Pay with NFC. Prior to flashing GOS on my Pixel 6, the only time I used NFC was to unlock my car when I didn't have the physical key fob with me. That was done through my car manufacturer's mobile app (BMW). However, when I went to set up the digital key after flashing GOS, the app told me that it couldn't set up the digital key, because I was using an unsupported version of Android.
I have yet to try the Debian edition, but based on my 1.5 years running the Ubuntu-based Linux Mint as my daily driver, I am not surprised to hear how amazing the Debian edition is.
And yes, Cinnamon is a great DE! Sure, it may be a bit old-school and lacking customization options, but that's kind of why I like it!
Regarding seedvault, I tried to do a backup of my phone, once I got it setup, but it seems like backup function is not working very well. I tried external USB thumb drive and Internal Storage, but neither of those options resulted in a successful backup. I did some search on the GrapheneOS Discussion Board (thread), and it seems like the Seedvault version that is currently part of the build is out-of-date. They may push a newer version in the next update.
When I tried to set up the Remote Key for my car, it said I was using a version of Android that was not compatible, and thus, it couldn't set up the remote digital key. In your case, did you adjust any settings to make NFC work?
You beat me to it! I was gonna mention the same thing. However, I don't think it may be that big of a deal if you use Firefox or some flavor of it. The one term I often hear about GrapheneOS and other AOSPs like it is "threat model", and depending on that model, you may not necessarily be impacted if you decide to use something other than the stock browser.
That's not to say the GrapheneOS developers are wrong in their Usage Guide. I'm sure they looked into this extensively, hence the usage guide.
Yeah, the Scopes feature is really nice! I often wonder why some apps require reading every single contact or need access to every folder/directory in your phone. In my use case, there are a few apps that require access to storage or contacts, but thanks to Scopes, I can limit it to just a specific folder or a small group of contacts. Everything else is off limits, and I like that.
What's your use case for NFC on your Pixel 4A?
So, who else should we expect? Uma Thurman? Samuel L. Jackson? Christoph Waltz?
I can't wait for this game to come out!

That's alright!
Yeah, I think there's another comment on this post that mentioned the same thing.
