Software is equally important. The iOS and Android operating systems that run on nearly every smartphone conceal uncountable numbers of programming flaws, known as security vulnerabilities, that mean common apps like iMessage or web browsers become dangerous: you can be hacked.

If I were configuring a smartphone today, I'd use 's as the base operating system. I'd desolder the microphones and keep the radios (cellular, wifi, and bluetooth) turned off when I didn't need them. I would route traffic through the network.

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.

That is not true, nobody made criticism of you project, only of Android as is shipped by Google and hardware vendors which is not what you're doing. This was already explained to you, but you are only interested in insulting other people and make acusations to entire communities

No, that's absolutely not what you did. You're continuing to be incredibly dishonest and manipulative. You've gone out of your way to try to cause harm and attack others. You can keep trying to project that onto others but it's completely untrue. It's you insulting others work.

That is what you did, you lied about Ubuntu and Ubuntu Touch licensing, about it collecting telemetry, and about how the community behaves, including accused the community of defending pedophiles. And you continue insisting on false claims. You are sick!

I haven't lied about anything. Stop your thoroughly dishonest and unethical behavior. You're going out of your way to attack and harass myself and the GrapheneOS project. You're making false attacks, spreading misinformation and making complete bogus comparisons. Just stop it.
The only people lying are you folks on your offensive misinformation campaign aimed at promoting yourselves at the expense of others using dishonest tactics. You're seeking out someone to bully with your unethical behavior and you seem shocked you didn't find a complacent victim.

If you don't support rape and pedophilia, I would suggest withdrawing support of people who do and not defending them for their disgusting views. You can't push the blame for doing these things onto me. You choose to behave like this and you are explicitly seeking out conflict.
