However, we don't have a "hardened security" approach, we aren't developing a phone for pedo(censored) so they can evade justice.

Its a shitty thing to say.

I do use /e/os because I fundamentally object to giving money go google to not use android. It seems like a false economy.

When I first moved away from android I had a pixel but it was not supported by graphene as it was out of security updates from android. So I went for a fairphone so I had a phone that was supported for 10 years. Stopping security updates for a working phone to force me to give money money to google while contriting to e-waste and planned obsolescence fucked me off.

I'm looking forward to seeing the output of the graphene/Motorola project as I do agree with the approach to security.
