> Motorola and the GrapheneOS Foundation will work to strengthen smartphone security and collaborate on future devices engineered with GrapheneOS compatibility.
This could be a gamechanger. Congratulations to @GrapheneOS, fingers crossed this works out well!
@mkljczk what? How is partnering with GrapheneOS bad?
@dos @mkljczk this is why we can't have nice things, sigh.
Yeah, I am aware of GrapheneOS's "communication style". It's bad, no question. But I will remain excited about a major mobile vendor teaming up with an project that remains – for better or worse – the gold standard of Android security, as this will help make this level of security available to many, many more people.
@mkljczk @dos yes, "bad" is the word I use.
Within the FOSS community, of which GrapheneOS happens to also be a part of by the way, we have a broader problem with shit-slinging between projects. GrapheneOS is part of that problem and I would love them stop doing that.
At the same time, I live in a world where there are literally no ethical choices. We are communicating via software right now made by an organization that had been on the receiv8ing end of a lot of valid criticism over the years.
@rysiek @mkljczk So has the one I do, it gets tons of flak, but it hits somewhat different when it's not some random confused "fan" but the main face behind a well-known project that threatens you personally to hamper your professional carrier just because they didn't like getting their bullshit corrected.
And I wouldn't bother to reply if it was just about me. It's an established pattern.
@dos tell you what, I will personally help you call them out on that kind of bullshit next time it happens if you allow me to enjoy for a moment the fact that next time an investigative journalist working on a high-profile story asks for advice I will potentially be able to recommend something else than Apple devices without being dangerously negligent.
@dos organization I work for has.
