Could you elaborate why Kernel memory safety via Rust impedes “full ownership”?
- nequo 4y agoMemory safety means fewer bugs means harder to root your Android device and use the hardware you paid for in ways you want? Just guessing. It’s high time we had competitive open-source options in the smartphone space.
- izacus 4y agoDevices like Google Pixel support installing your own rooted Android together with actually adding a new signature to boot loader so you get a fully secure device - it's how projects like CalyxOS can guarantee privacy. There's absolutely no need to defend security holes in an OS when you have options for proper secure installation of rooted OS available. You just need to put money where your wishes are and not buy locked down OEM devices.
- nequo 4y agoThat is good to know, thank you!

- aaaaaaaaata 4y agoSorry, Verified Boot, not Secure Boot, that's MS crap.
