Makes me want a Graphene OS phone more than ever. Fuck Google
Also, no It’s not about the security vulnerability, devs already said they can work around this issue. It’s more because Google doesn’t deserve anyone’s data, much less mine.
I bought a new phone for Graphene OS right before Google started threatening to sabotage it. I hope the project stays healthy because it’s by far the best option we have for a relatively private and secure phone OS, especially on decent hardware.
Security thru obscurity doesn’t work.
Sounds more like a confidential source for upstream patches that are no longer being published publicly. It’s not Graphene’s fault that google isnt releasing the source code anymore. If they’re able to get a hold of it through other (less transparent) means, that’s not better but it’s not as bad as what we feared would happen.
Jesus fuck google hates foss
Every for-profit entity hates FOSS as a concept, and they hate all the hard-working developers who put in time voluntarily. They hate all of it with a seething passion.
