No thanks, I'd rather use a Google Pixel with GrapheneOS

Image transcription:

buy privacy-first community driven phone look inside closed source OS with no recovery image and outdated dependencies

Both ship: Firmware, the HAL components (which are way more critical in my eyes as they have low level hardware access and could hide anything from the OS)

Aren't firmware and HAL in hardware/devices in the source tree for graphene? Also the camera stack/etc isn't Google's, it's Graphene's.

The Widevine comment is fair, but Sailfish needs to support DRM, too, so they're in the same boat, there.

    So graphene is also not open source then by your metrics? So some of the ui is closed source while on an os where you can trace and verify what is going on but an android derivative where you cant track whats going on in the os as freely with more critical closed source portions of its hardware is supposedly more open to you?

    Aren't firmware and HAL in hardware/devices in the source tree for graphene?

    So either you know its there because you care so much to have verified the source code or you are just getting defensive about something you literally arent verifying....
