They want you to use an OS which doesn't provide firmware updates and therefore doesn't protect you from serious known vulnerabilities. The firmware is still present when using an OS not updating it. Pretending as if the hardware and firmware isn't closed source by not updating the firmware simply harms users. They're a group known for having nonsensical, inconsistent beliefs and spreading misinformation/spin to promote them. Stop getting info from charlatans.
100% agreed with you.
We do, however, need zealots in the ecosystem, they serve a purpose, we just can’t let perfect be the enemy of good when it comes to usability, security, and privacy.
Seems the real issue is that GrapheneOS makes it possible to get google play installed via their sandboxing, that people take offence to calling it FOSS software…
Sure, fair enough, makes sense, they just need to fork the project and maintain the fork and don’t include the sandboxing. It’s a open code base (because its FOSS, heh) they can do whatever they want to it.
This is a very important point. I left the rest of the sentence not because it’s not important but because most people understand that part.
