The described behavior would not happen when you use a custom OS. I understand not wanting to give Motorola any money because of this, though.

- Cider9986 4mo agoTrue. Google does much worse things overall, but they aren't as surface-level scammy as this.

- gib444 4mo agoThe tail never wags the dog. Initially the project won't change, but it likely will over time.
- microtonal 4mo agoBut AFAIK it doesn't work like that. Motorola makes a phone that has an unlockable bootloader, provides firmware bundles, etc., but the OS images will be made by the GrapheneOS team and they would never do anything like that. (I think the misunderstanding is that Motorola would make the GrapheneOS builds.)
- gib444 4mo agoI'm misunderstanding nothing You're probably just not willing to believe that a 'partnership' with a massive company will change things, like I do. I am disagreeing, not misunderstanding. There's a difference
- microtonal 4mo agoHave you ever observed the GrapheneOS team? I have rarely seen any team more principled than them, outside maybe RMS. Time will tell, but my bet is on the GrapheneOS team doing the right thing, they have always done so in the past.
- gib444 4mo ago> Have you ever observed the GrpheneOS team I certainly have > I have rarely seen any team more principled than them Totally agree with you there. I'll say no more because you pay a heavy penalty on HN for criticising the project. I'll just say I hope the collaboration brings some needed maturity, level heads, and stewardship, and that the devs can continue just to focus on the tech.
