The drama and accusations the GrapheneOS developers are spewing and engaging in are giving me a bad taste in the mouth and make me doubt the OS’s reliability am I the only one?

thank you, i think i saw that somwhere before. is it really true that the haressment is made up? like i honestly dont know

and does it really has an impact on the eco system? i never really thought abou it..

but i think it is also for privacy top. user control not tho

And i guess fair point that this is a security flaw considering the phone users beeing targeted.. But like i still kinda think hardware backed security is important and also very crucial is, that the more devices they supporty the less recourses they have.. I think considering how long it is since pixel 10 released and it is still not supported, would make me guess that they dont have like any free time really to do it at all ^^

and like there are also no relevant projects i think that fork it to other devices, so i dont know, i mean somebody could start doing that but i guess that shows how hard it is to do

The one making the claims should provide the evidence.

Yes, it pushes for a Google monopoly in hardware, it creates a false narrative that there is no difference in privacy and/or security between alternative Android versions and ones by vendors. This further entrenches Google's control of Android as it limits the options for Android users.

I do believe Google has taken decisions that forced them to look for a new OEM, I am not sure if does affect the Pixel 10.
