What is this dirty language!?
Next time please say "Fuck g**gle" Thank you
Yep Google has done a lot for us over the years but they have become fat and evil and it's time to move on.
Yeah, I'd happily buy a non-pixel device if it can run graphene
Literally the only reason I bought a pixel. If they do this and it isn't shit, it my current pixel might be my first and last.
Good for them. This is 100% in the spirit of open source and basically what Amazon tried to do a decade or more ago.... and failed.
This is cool for most people, but if you're doing anything even remotely not liked by the state, they will probably use you owning this as evidence you are a criminal. People in Europe were already getting profiled for having pixel phones by the police bc of Graphene OS.
Are you talking about the situation in Catalan?
The way I'm reading it is more like: "many criminals are using graphene" rather than "graphene users are criminals".
It's a small step from one to the other, I'll admit.
My hunch is that the OEM is looking to go after enterprise phone sales and views Graphene as a competitive advantage for that market.
Blackberry seems like a natural fit, but I don't know what their manufacturing capacity is looking like these days.
