in reply to Chris π¦ • • •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 π
looking forward to the day they have a Canadian or European partner

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.

in reply to Chris π¦ • • •@_elena Proof? Read their reactions on Mastodon. For example grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/β¦
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.

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.

in reply to Chris π¦ • • •sorry Iβm 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 π
Edit: I already got in trouble once attempting to defend GrapheneOS and their social media manager thought I was βspreading misinformationβ about them!!! So I wonβt ever say anything public about them anymore, just use the OS

in reply to richarddebruin • • •@richarddebruin great to hear that.
And I concur, it's a fantastic OS... with (sadly) a very litigious / mercurial social media team π₯² π
have a great day Richard & Chris!
