    Correction: because of CalyxOS' implementation of microG, signature spoofing can't easily be used to break out of the sandbox. Sorry to those whom I inadvertently misled. The fact …

    >If you have the ear of strcat, I urge you to to talk to them about this kind of paranoid conspiracy thinking that leads them to directly accuse me (and others in this thread) of b…

    I'm sure you didn't do it intentionally, it's just that what you said is a common piece of misinformation spread about GrapheneOS. It's understandable that you'd think that given h…

    No, giving criticism of an OS is not attacking it. You'll see that strcat only responded to places where GrapheneOS was mentioned. You'll see that there was misinformation being sp…

    I disagree. LineageOS has a legitimate use case, being able to easily tinker with the device. It's certainly not as private or secure, and that doesn't make it a bad option dependi…

    See grapheneos.org/history/copperheados and verify it for yourself using Github graphs and other resources. A better description would be "One person handled development of the pro…

    He's not "the GrapheneOS developer", he's the lead developer and one of many developers. It's a collaborative open-source project which has made a production-grade OS and whose con…

    Pixels are pretty much the only Android phone that supports full verified boot with custom keys, meaning verified boot of the entire base system works no matter what OS you're boot…

    By that definition, Linux, Chromium, and lots of other software isn't Google-free. But that's ridiculous. Android does not contain any tracking code, and at most uses Google server…

    And if you flash a good custom OS like GrapheneOS, maybe LineageOS without microG, then Google doesn't track you even if you use their hardware. Even better if you use a secure OS …
