Single source hardware is a security liability. If Google does something to the hardware or firmware, the GrapheneOS project would be screwed. Google has already hobbled AOSP.
We cannot overly depend on Google’s or any one company’s good will.
I think GrapheneOS should think about gradually steering the project toward a basket of hardware companies. Shifting to Motorola is necessary in the near term, but the whole situation with Google’s behavior needs to be a wake up call.
Today is GrapheneOS day for me.
And if they ever try to take that away, I’ll get a fucking dumb flip phone and that’ll be that.
Open source is critical to our future.
Mine arrived today. Ironic.
Also ironic that I had to buy a pixel, but i needed a new phone so I wanted something that gos and other distros could run on
i just got a pixel 10 pro… kinda wish i had got a samsung instead now
Oh don’t apologize for buying their subsidized data collection devices and then completely disabling the reason they subsidize the devices 😂
It’s a kick in the nuts to Google every time GrapheneOS is installed.
