thank you for sharing this Chris! I had been wondering who their secret partner was. Although a little bit disappointed it's an American company that has been sold to a Chinese company (Lenovo) - I just checked 😐

looking forward to the day they have a Canadian or European partner

maybe you should read all the reactions of the official graphenos account here on Mastodon about other companies and FOSS projects. I do not think they want a European partner at all πŸ˜¬πŸ˜…

Proof?

Or are you just referring to the regular "my os is better than your os" flamewar?

That has nothing to do with them avoiding EU partners. Don't spread false news.

@_elena Proof? Read their reactions on Mastodon. For example grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/…

This had nothing todo with a kind of war, but it has todo with respect for other FOSS projects. The way they communicate can be called very strange.

@richarddebruin

Still no proof of GrapheneOS avoiding EU vendors.

Fairphone does a remarkable job when it comes to being repairable and fair trade. But not so much with security (e.g. fast patch delivery or just by enabling kernel build-in security features).

Every discussion about GrapheneOS is heated to the point of death threads. They talk shit, the others talk shit.

I also wish they would respect each other, but that is not a proof that GrapheneOS avoids EU vendors.

sorry I’m not getting involved in the discussion giving how defensive / aggressive each project can get*.

My stance (via this GIF). I will happily continue using GrapheneOS on my Pixel 9 for now πŸ™ˆ

Edit: I already got in trouble once attempting to defend GrapheneOS and their social media manager thought I was β€œspreading misinformation” about them!!! So I won’t ever say anything public about them anymore, just use the OS

@_elena and I also happily using it on my Pixel 8 pro πŸ€—. I only mention that way they communicate here on Mastodon is strange. Have a nice day everyone 🌞

@richarddebruin great to hear that.

And I concur, it's a fantastic OS... with (sadly) a very litigious / mercurial social media team πŸ₯² πŸ™Š

have a great day Richard & Chris!
