Motorola will launch a GrapheneOS phone soon.
I just want my headphone jack back
and a MicroSD slot
And I want a freaking small notification LED back that tells me what’s going on without any annoying sounds or having to turn on the display and wasting battery charge every few minutes.
Best we can do is flashing your camera led blinding everyone in the room
Some Motorola phones still have that.
I was considering a fair phone, but that announcement has me waiting.
I wish fairphone would do the hardware and graphene the software but they do not seem to get along. That would be the ideal duo.
I use GrapheneOS and I believe in their goals, but honestly, the people behind the OS doesn't seem to get along with anyone else in the whole world.
It’s just blind perfectionism. Don’t put security features as the first priority above all else? Hunting season is open.
It’s difficult to argue against their basic policy, especially these days, seeing what AI pentesting can do.
But at the end of the day, mom and dad are gonna have to use their phones and they do not care about or understand security in the slightest, so how are they supposed to make use of those devices?
I think a little more positive marketing wouldn’t hurt, but the Graphene people love to call out what everybody else is doing wrong.
They got along with Motorola somehow ???
Yes but it's not affordable enough.
