You're also once again misrepresenting closed source software as a black box. It isn't, and in fact, if you're looking for malicious, hidden backdoors, I do not really see how you're any better off trying to find them hidden in source code vs. from the final assembly code.
Conversation
There is a whole compilation pipeline leading to that assembly code and all of the fancy language / compiler features, etc. are tools for the attacker to hide / generate their backdoor. Also, really, when it's full of unintentional vulnerabilities, how is any of this relevant?

Why are you okay with using the Linux kernel when it's full of remote and local code execution backdoors? You talk about theoretical backdoors when there are real, unintentional (supposedly) backdoors called vulnerabilities which you don't seem in a rush to get fixed...

I don't think there's much of a useful conversation, and I don't agree with that take on it at all. Been going on forever from a previous mess of threads and it's clearly going nowhere and has pretty much no point. I've gotten no value from it and it's just a waste of time.

Interested to hear how GrapheneOS is a 'nightmare' to use as a downstream in a way that CalyxOS is not. Sounds like a load of bullshit to me. Also having a hard time understanding how that's relevant to this thread.

If people want a hobbyist smartphone platform they can buy a Pinephone or something else along those lines instead of getting ripped off by scammers and the evangelists pushing their products based on their dishonest marketing claims and misinformation.

It has a lot of documentation, and writing documentation is a major area of work.
The camera issues are continuous stream of AOSP and Qualcomm driver bugs that we've been working on for years. A lot of those upstream bugs have been fixed. You have all those bugs on CalyxOS.

If you prefer silent memory corruption, GrapheneOS was probably a bad choice in the first place. I definitely don't have hatred for users of GrapheneOS. You've made it pretty clear that you are not a user of GrapheneOS. Don't really understand why you're jumping in very late to..
... this continuation of a long series of threads and trying to get involved in it while bashing myself and GrapheneOS. It doesn't surprise me. More than tired of people who contribute nothing of value, have an incredibly entitled attitude and deliberately spread misinformation.

I don't need your money or bug reports. As far I know, you haven't contributed anything, and you've just showed up here to throw in some irrelevant attacks on me and the project that I work on with others because I didn't like you jumping in here with your "both sides" comment.
