    I like and use GrapheneOS but this is sounds like the founders persecution complex acting up again. This isn’t the first time this has happened. The second you ask them for proof of any attack they will claim you are part of the attack. Apparently, they were triggered by some shitty french tabloid articles this time. I would wait for some more substantial info before rushing for the pitchforks.

      Agreed - I have no real background knowledge of GOS but this message, as someone who loves daily driving it, this message just looks unprofessional at best, with accusations and drawn conclusions.

      Edit (to expand): I expect better of GrapheneOS’s team, in that this statement should just lay out factually what’s happening with GrapheneOS, the type of legal request from French authorities, and let the audience connect any dots like any possible connection between iodeOS or /e/OS and that situation.

      Pixels are one of the very few remaining, well speced, easily accessible and decently popular, brands that allow the BL to be unlocked

          And just as trustworthy as devices that are equivalent to desktop Hardware with UEFI, IntelME, etc.

          So you mean like…99% of all hardware in the world? Lol

          If you’re that hardcore into privacy or your threat model justifies it, then grapheneos isn’t for you because you’re already well prepared to make significant compromise and/or expense to pursue that goal.

          GrapheneOS is more about leveling up more common people’s privacy

          Don’t let perfection be the enemy of good

          Look, I love FOSS and open platforms, to the point that I will only run proprietary software if it is sufficiently sandboxed AND there is no alternative. Unfortunately, hardware just isn’t there right now. You basically cannot have a modern computing experience on fully open hardware. At some point you have to make a compromise with it, it’s unfortunate but it’s the world we live in. Typically that compromise is either all open software with closed hardware and firmware, or all open software and firmware, with incredibly old or restricted hardware (which is still closed). I have yet to see any solution that involves truly, fully open hardware and so you basically have to just draw an arbitrary line and say “this is good enough.”
