Maddy - ADHD-powered mess Mar 4
GrapheneOS: Talks shit about Fairphone and their 'ancient' hardware on socials, not considering them as an option at all.

Also GrapheneOS: Partners with Motorola/Lenovo despite more devices in their lineup having relatively mediocre chipsets than not.

I'll let you figure out which OEM would likely give GOS more freedom to do what they want without as much corporate pressure, had they not likely burned that bridge.

@maddy yeah, I personally use grapheneos, but their leadership/socials people are a confusing bunch

@sleepybisexual @maddy We've made it very clear that we're not supporting any existing Motorola devices but rather future devices meeting all of our security requirements. Motorola's 2026 flagships are already close to meeting our requirements but weren't quite there yet. They're actively working on it. Motorola is one of the few companies actually designing/developing their own phones. Fairphone uses a Chinese ODM and does little engineering themselves. They cannot provide what we need.

@sleepybisexual @maddy Fairphone doesn't have flexibility since they need to use what the ODM can provide. They're currently unable to provide basic kernel updates for their devices. Even the Fairphone 5 already has an end-of-life kernel with no plan to move to a newer branch. They repeatedly rejected people proposing they add the security features and updates we need.

They're already marketing their devices as being private, secure and having long term updates when they don't provide it.
