> You can't call comprehensive replies "disingenuous walls of text" and then later complain about a lack of thoroughness when people stop finding it worth the time.
It doesn't matter how bad a comment looks in your opinion - you have no right for an unsubstantiated personal attack, ever. I though this was common sense, but it turns out, for some people, it's important to remind that.
I never complain about the length of comments but about how much substance they have relative to their length. For example, in this comment, you have expressed your opinion reasonably well* only after two paragraphs of unrelated venting. I have the impression that you consider any opinion that differs from yours as an attack on GrapheneOS and yourself.
Look, I am not against GrapheneOS and I don't care about you. I recommend GrapheneOS to my friends when they want maximal security (yes, really!). I upvote posts like this for visibility. I do not consider GOS an enemy of GNU/Linux phones. I don't like some of GOS decisions, but this is fine, it is just not for me. I don't claim that Librem 5 is more secure or more private. This depends on the user goals and threat model. There are people like me who value different things than GOS developers, and to such people I recommend to consider GNU/Linux phones.
I do not post comments saying that GOS has "atrocious freedom" or anything like that. It has more freedom than the default. It's really good at what it does. But it can't cover all preferences and use cases. Whenever people ask for something that GOS doesn't want to provide, I suggest an alternative. I don't understand why you start a fight every time this happens. These are not the target audience of GrapheneOS, let it go.
*I disagree, but I don't expect to convince you. Let us just agree to disagree here.
