if other phones met GrapheneOS’ security standards
This rhetoric is not OK.
Obviously security is important, but so is not financially aiding and abetting your enemy.
Graphene people are deeply unserious if they can’t understand the urgency of both points.
GrapheneOS needs to settle on the 2nd most secure system after Google, if Google is really the #1.
Cut Google’s hardware out NOW.


Problem is, what you call “surviving” is just kicking the can down the road.
I don’t think the onus is on you alone. Nor do I think you need to play hero.
You need to be honest. You are feeding the beast that will eat your family later. Yes, you get another day. Meanwhile your horizons just got narrower, as you assist forces in your world that are closing off (privatizing) your world.
Just look at it all in context. We certainly can’t just keep indefinitely playing along nicely in the name of survival. At some point your world becomes a place not even worth surviving in. Are we looking for that point?
Is security of hardware pass or fail? And only Pixel passes while all other phones fail?
What makes Pixel so drastically preferrable?
I am starting to doubt GrapheneOS judgement here.
You’re saying even the 2nd best phone is a fail. I don’t buy it. Can a security researcher please comment?
