    first of all, posting this here is kinda pointless, ain’t a soul here that doesn’t know about this thing. second, no ill feelings about madame V., the world is better with her work in it, but this ain’t the audience for it as her work is kinda superficial and, again, directed at a different audience.

    third and final, fuck grapheneos. fuck the pixel. and fuck google. and fuck the premise that the only way you can escape their clutches is buying new shit.

    if you think this thing is a good idea, that’d be as if linux can run only on a couple of the most recent thinkpads and nothing else. would you still be into it? I know I wouldn’t be.

    gOS is the easiest to get onto hardware and that’s why this thing dominates the youtube slop sphere. you try to make flashing lineageOS into a coherent video, you’d lose all of your audience, presto.

    for the 99,9% of us that ain’t a buncha jason bournes on the run from 5eyes and friends, lineageOS is plenty fine and secure as is.
