I feel that but there must be a better option... Stock is overtly a honeypot instead of covertly one. Maybe something like LineageOS? I wonder how much a pinephone sucks to use these days.
Exactly. They seemingly target projects that prevent walled gardens and privacy invasions (FUTO, F-DROID, browsers, etc). "Only vanadium is safe" yet there's no way to do any serious adblocking in vanadium. You can't even watch YT vids in picture-in-picture mode anymore using vanadium. They say everything with adblocking is unsafe - no exceptions. Then any debate instantly devolves into, "only air gapping is secure" - perfect gaslighting for anyone who's poking around to reveal agendas. Judging by the amount of hard left and anon members of the dev team (all of them as far as I can tell) - I can't see how it isn't a gov op / honeypot. And what verifiably legit org has the resources to audit a smartphone OS? The biggest red flags to me are known ops like Snowden doing free marketing for it. Not to mention they're all consistently allied with (((Signal))). All I hear is: "if you're gonna blow the whistle and tell on us, then it is really important that you use Signal!" Of course I list these as red flags because I have no hard evidence besides a life time of pattern recognition which always turns out to gel on issues such as these.
CalyxOS is pretty good. Not as hardcore about security as Graphene, but still decent.
I think it's just because they're SECURITY schizos, they dont care about privacy or FOSS that much
But as a part time security schitzo myself, I'd feel schitzo about getting automatic updates from a remote source that despite being testable and reproducible - are really not easy to verify what you think you're getting until after you get them. And, as a schitzo, it feels contrived the way they separate security and privacy. If you're trying to secure information, then it is private, right? Once 100% of your phone is public, then what is there to secure - nothing, right? Yes, I realize there are 100 ways to sling mud onto this argument... And the way they immediately say, "well you have to trust someone" as soon as you question their security model triggers my schitz. That is, they're security schitzos in a very specific way that is somehow specifically at odds with the variety of security schitzo that does not trust government or the biggest corps (Google). In this way it feels more like an offshoot of FAANG/NSA/friends than a proper agnostic security schitzoid flavor, which naturally seems like it should be the security schitzoid default. At its core we are trusting closed source / black box Titan M architecture from Google.
Yes, that is what GrapheneOS says in so many words... But it seems hard to know.
Late to the party but I'd recommend Postmarket OS if you can find one of the supported devices. Been using it on a OnePlus 6T and it works like a charm, haven't had any glaring issues yet. Might not be as secure as Graphene out of the box, but its still leaps and bounds better than stock.
Dumb motherfuckers. I've said it before and I'll say it again, more context makes Daniel Micay look worse, not better. No amount of context justifies accusing people of crimes they didn't do.
Have you seen A&N articles lately? They are getting more authoritarian.
I searched the thread via a few relevant word options and there doesn't seem to be any instances of anyone telling Daniel to kill himself. Let alone repeatedly.matchboxbananasynergy really hates this thread. I have a tip for you: You don't have to read it! Nobody is forcing you to.
