interesting.can you explain what you mean by embargo beta patching partnership?
I’ve been following your comments and posts over lemmy and reddit actually, for a couple years. i dont agree with everything but it’s absolutely important to be researching beyond the popular/mainstream privacy community narrative, which I appreciate.
Custom Android build developers, LineageOS team, CalyxOS team and others do not affiliate with Google. This is something exclusive to Graphene, and is very fishy, yet goes unquestioned. Even their compliance with a law/norm exclusive to Japan - mandatory shutter sound - is extremely weird.
I have no clue why Graphene gets these beta patches so fast, that LineageOS and other project teams avoid. And it has been a very silent topic for years, outside of a couple mentions/hints by Micay.
could it simply be all the security research and code review they do? i mean, Graphene does have tons of upstream contributions. Two zero days just the other day for example.
You should see those zero days being actively patched onto Pixels officially by Google and brands with high patching frequency, since they are similarly affiliated with Google and their embargo patches. Android has a colossal community with lots of security developers, and Micay/Graphene one man project is not what it really is like. There is a lot of optics gaming going on.
