they're thinking about how to make the most private and secure OS. at the moment only google phones provide the hardware that is most suitable toward that goal. other phones are not open enough, lack the hardware or do not provide timely firmware updates.

Graphene OS is a Google product. It's just like YouTube Premium. You don't want ads? Then you have to pay. You want less Google tracking? Then you have to buy a Google phone to install Graphene OS. No matter how you look at it, Google gets your money in the end. Either in data/advertising or simply by paying them directly.

>pronouns

are you aware, that graphene devs are also leftists? they are friends with mike kuketz who is an open green left liberal.
>>
>>108743185
Because phones are a piece of shit. Every phone has its very own procedure for just getting the default, glow-in-the-dark operating system, and installing another one. Almost nobody wants to have to deal with that.
With laptops and PCs, however, its way easier. For all non-Brapple devices, it's as easy as creating a bootable disk, disabling secure boot in the BIOS, and installing the new operating system.
>>
>>108742961
The problem with Graphene OS is that the developers are so convinced of their product that they simply ignore and downplay the obvious weaknesses (baseband modem). This lulls users into a false sense of security. They believe they are safe, even though they are not. Graphene OS kills the healthy paranoia one should have when dealing with computers, and that is the worst thing of all.
>>
>>108742961
We will get the Motorola Phones soon! I can't believe it, OEM Support for GrapheneOS. From fucking Motorola, owned by Lenovo, just like Thinkpads. Holy shit... the ultimate free tard. Gnu/Loonix on a Stinkpad + Graphmeme on a Moto! It's time for a GrapheneOS General soon.

I tried Fortnite on my Pixel, to see if harder anti cheat games play fine, it just werks. I created a private space in my main profile for googleplay reliant stuff. Even my fucking banking app werks.

>>108743032
>I wish there was a GrapheneOS phone with a Snapdragon
Soon, fren, soon. Can't wait to install "GameNative" on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 with 16GB RAM. Proton for ARM is insane, people are running Red Dead Redemption with 40 FPS on Snapdragon phones.
>>
>>108743296
just means they're going to deepthroat cock at some point

anything run by a leftist or a fag will always do whatever involves bending over for corporations and governments

no wonder graphene only works on google phones
>>
>>108742961
Oh, I wonder why a Chinese company would be interested in supporting Graphene OS....
>>
>>108743397
Okay lets assume that every phone has spyware on a hardware level, a chinese phone with graphene would still be better:
>You will never go to china
>Software(graphene) has no spy/bloat-ware
>Not even cellebrite can crack a pixel + graphene
They said we have to fear the russians and chinese, because they are spying on us, but have you actually looked into western countries? Palantir, windows, google, apple, meta... modern phones with chips straight from isreal and they already developed fucking pegasus spyware..

the fuck are you trying to say? Graphene is foss btw.
>>
>>108742961
Every other device cripples even any basic form of security for alternative operating systems, or didn't have it in the first place. So they didn't really have any other option if they want to actually make an OS that is just as, or more secure than the stock OS on a highend phone.

They did see this as a problem and that is why they are releasing GrapheneOS for 2027 Motorola phones. Their highend devices will initially provide pretty much the same security features to alternative operating systems as modern pixels do. They could even target highend 2026 Motorola phones but they are missing a good implementation of memory tagging. So the security wouldn't be up to par with pixel 8 and later. It would be about the same as a pixel 6 or 7. Which wasn't acceptable for a newly supported device.
>>
>>108743185
the open architecture of PC is the result of a different era where the boomers in the government were wary of IT in general and how tech companies could singlehandedly disturb the good old stocks they had interests in. that's why they could do thigs like threatening Microsoft with anti-trust laws and pushing consumer lawsuits seeking to separate hardware from software.
today tech billionaires are providing the majority of American wealth and politicians will never go against them. they all think that making PCs open was a giant mistake and they will never allow it for phones, if anything they're pushing to make locked-and-verified phones the new PCs while old open PCs will become straight up illegal to "protect the children".

No you don't, Google phones are just the only officially supported devices. People have compiled graphine os for other devices.

Why do you think everyone trusts his software? Daniel Micay basically wrote the book on Android hardening at this point.

Basically nobody even used anon phone when it was a thing. It was never open source and nobody outside of a bunch of wealthy but tech illiterate gang members used it.

You can make a removable battery with water sealing. The back needs to be held on with screws with a rubber seal around the perimeter of the case

Are you retarded? Without the security focus of GrapheneOS, how do you expect any of your private data to be safe? Unless you have zero convenience, remember every site login, clear cookies all the time, never using banking apps, etc, etc... Even then, without security an actor can just employ CopyFail (GrapheneOS was immune btw) and just sniff everything you're doing.

all the baseband chips you need to be able to connect to telecom networks around the globe all has backdoors in them, and you will literally be approached by 160 glowie agencies trying to persuade you into making software backdoors

>>108751932
another fun anecdote, when i was working there, my phones would run out of battery in literally 12 hours, they used to have like a week of battery time before that.
i would buy a new cellphone, get it registered, it would work for a week, not having to charge it once, then it suddenly would only last a day on a full charge, barely a month old.

a few months after i quit, my phones were suddenly back to having a week of battery time again kek

Funny but no, they log into your device and then cyberattack US infrastructure like power plants, water treatment etc, and you get blamed for it instead of them. Kind of like when the US government blew up that oil pipeline and said Russians did it. Or when Israelis knocked down those skyscrapers and said Bin Laden did it.
