It’s hard to see past the money in your unvested stocks.
To his credit, google has accelerated their enshittification, but they certainly were on the shitty company list 10 years ago. But even now I’m told that Android is just better than iOS because it’s “open”, bypassing the fact that it exists solely to provide screens for people to view Google Ads.
Both Android and IOS are unacceptable. GrapheneOS for me, and hopefully once Motorola releases their "shipped with Graphene" devices, a whole lot more people. Anyone who says anything otherwise is a sucker for marketing.
I'm worried that with all the legal attempts by governments around the world trying to undermine privacy and encryption and enforce ID verification and total surveillance, Motorola might get cold feet about the deal. There are powerful people in many countries who would love to make GrapheneOS illegal.
Let's hope that doesn't happen. Graphene is BY FAR our best option, by a large margin.
In the short term, probably. It's still android though. There's no technical reason why phones can't be running actual Linux though, which provides users real freedom.
It's not, postmarketOS or even SailfishOS are much better, because they don't depend on Android,
eyyy, another Graphene user.
Dozens of us!
The irony of GrapheneOS is that it works very well on a Google device, and mostly supports Google devices. I'm also a GrapheneOS user.
