That article is very low on detail. 🤷
And whenever Graphene OS is mentioned, one must also mention its leader (first lead dev, now director) Daniel Micay. Personally I think he's mentally unwell. For many years he's been attacking even the mildest critique in the most vicious ways, and ultimately - even if the code itself were genius - I cannot trust an OS developed by such a person. If you don't believe me, watch this Louis Rossman video.
GrapheneOS is as I understand it much less of a one-man party and in a healthier place these days compared to not that long ago. Good to keep in mind when digging up older material.
Absolutely disagree with that you must do that whenever it is mentioned. That sounds like some unhealthy obsession if anything. There are more interesting conversations to be had. Don't we have bigger fish to fry? Move on, dude.
One can legitimately argue that Daniel's paranoia is the reason GOS is so locked down.
