Nobody’s shaming you, reddit refugee.
It is a common userspace decision to lock things to userspace. It’s good hygiene.
If you want less-secure software, use AOSP or one of its many forks.
You’re not defective: you just have different needs and threat model,
and you’re harassing and degrading the public image of a project that’s opinionated in a very welcome way by folks in the security community - especially those who value stability and usability.
- dingaling 2mo ago"It is a common userspace decision to lock things to userspace" Yes, running in userspace for the majority of tasks is good hygiene. Preventing the user from ever escalating beyond that layer on their own devices, however, is restricting their freedom to control their device. When that happens with tractors, cars or other gadgets that's considered anti-user. The same attitude should extend to phones.
- DANmode 2mo agoYou can wipe the device and reinstall whatever at any time. You have complete control of the device. You choose to lock certain things when using GrapheneOS. That’s their security model. If you want to argue that, go study it and argue that. If your threat model is different, if your desired security model is different, then: it’s not for you, use one of many other options. Like all software projects, it doesn’t necessarily exist for you - or anyone specifically. It’s not harming you for it to exist.
