We are nearly exactly that with Ubuntu Touch on PinePhone... maybe the best viable option you can buy today.

Making dishonest comparisons and misleading people about the state of privacy/security is a bad look. It's a clear pattern for the people involved in your project, which is quite sad. Maybe promote your work without dishonest comparisons to others doing something much different.

(1/2) How is it dishonest? The fact is that the pinephone will have physical kill switches and separated modem. And with no binary blobs using malinline kernel. With full open source gnu/linux stack.

(2/2) Sure the project have differences, but its a fair comparison as both provide privacy/security that one should expect from a phone today. Don't put others down to make your project look better.

You're the folks putting other people down by making false and misleading comparisons. The unprovoked attacks and misinformation are not appreciated. You make completely bogus privacy/security claims and mislead people about other projects/products and also your own. It's scummy.

How about you folks take a step back and stop jumping into threads about my work with your false claims, misleading comparisons and dishonesty? I haven't done anything to you. I've never said anything about it. If you want me to start posting about it and your behavior I can.

I don't have anything against PinePhone. My problem is with the dishonesty and misinformation / attacks that I've seen from developers over the past couple of days. I don't know what your issue is. You benefit from my work and ship upstreamed portions and yet attack it.

Up until today, I've seen no dishonest marketing / misinformation from Pine64 / PinePhone. That's a sharp contrast from Purism. However, I see them supporting your dishonest / misleading posts and that definitely has an impact on how I see it. Sad, disappointing and predictable.

I'm sorry, I don't have the context of what you're saying about "the last couple of days". This is the first interaction I have seen about this, I do not manage the UBports account. Please point me to other where this happens? I will talk with the them something came across wrong

again, I'm sorry if something came across wrongly. I don't have the context of what you mean with "bogus privacy clams". Please point out whats wrong with any of my statements?

I did, and you can read my responses. You're making false and misleading claims, as are other members of your project. You're also going out of your way to post misinformation and attacks on threads unrelated to you. It's not an ethical or productive way to promote your project.
I'm not going to tolerate people spreading misinformation and dishonest claims especially if you're going to shove it into my timeline instead of doing it somewhere that I don't need to see it. Stick to picking on those that aren't going to speak up about it if you don't like it.
