Illegal actions are often hard to prove, and yet laws somehow work in general. Same here with obeying the license.

> the claim that open source is automatically better than closed source, when it comes to security, is also strange. Remember xz utils backdoor? The XZ attack is an extremely rare event coming likely from a state actor, which actually pr

Unless this is AGPL.

You should, as it is much safer than the one from Google.

These are NGOs fighting for our digital rights like privacy, security and device ownership. Wikipedia can explain much better than me. See also: https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=eff.org https://news.ycombin

Do you consider F-Droid a "vetted app store"?

How did original engineering certification prevent dangerous constructions? Did it force everyone to use a Big Company?

You can use TPM with Heads and a hardware key to ensure Windows can't infect the other partition.

Does switching to Qubes OS count?

Doesn't this mean that no matter how securely your phone is locked, Apple (and probably the three-letter agencies) can always unlock it by installing an appropriate update?

GNU/Linux exists on mobile, too. Sent from my Librem 5.

I would still ask them, and even if they can't help, they fight for such rights for everyone.

This is why orgs like https://eff.org exist.

This is the point. They can use and modify it, but they also have to share their modifications, i.e., help its development. Yet most megacorps never even touch this license.

Qubes OS is a niche security-oriented operating system that runs everything in VMs with about 70k users [0]. Even less users contribute with amazing things like running in RAM [1] or using very minimal VMs with Debian and Fedora [3] to mini

The solution is to use AGPLv3.

It contains Firefox and Chromium. You are right that they may call home, but at least it's very limited and easily configurable. Could be too much for you but fine with me. Also Debian does change their config by default to minimize pr

What else is this about? Debian repositories still contain no malware and if you install software exclusively from them, you'll be safe.

Waydroid allows to run Android apps that don't require SafetyNet. If your bank forces you into the duopoly with no workaround, it's a good reason to switch.

There are still phones not obeying the megacorps. Sent from my Librem 5.

Instead of proprietary SecureBoot controlled by megacorps, you can use TPM with Heads based entirely on FLOSS with a hardware key like Librem Key. Works for me and protects from the Evil Maid attack.

If arbitrary app stores are allowed without restrictions, isn't that equivalent to allowing installation of any apps?

Somehow your approach was not chosen by Intel ME or AMD PSP, and they remain unbreakable.

So why don't you stop using the OS that has a completely different approach to computing?
