[β] youngGoku@lemmy.world 28 points 2 years ago (2 children) I used LineageOS before switching to GrapheneOS permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [β] thanks_shakey_snake@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 years ago (1 child) Why did you switch? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] youngGoku@lemmy.world 27 points 2 years ago (3 children) Quarantined google play services on an alternate profile was a big sell for me. I don't use anything google related in my day to day but occasionally I need traffic updates or alternative routes and I'm forced to use google maps. There's a few other exceptions where I very rarely will need to use google play services. In those situations, I can boot to an alternate profile for each app I need to use, and I know google is unable to harvest the majority of my data. GrapheneOS has hardened security compared to lineageOS. LineageOS did some type of takeover on cyanogenmod and I forget the details but I remember the whole situation left a sour taste in my mouth. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [β] S410@kbin.social 18 points 2 years ago (3 children) Considering the lead developer of GrapheneOS bans anyone from their chat for asking how an Android phone with GrapheneOS compares to a non-android phone, such as a PinePhone or Librem 5, in terms of security, because, according to said developer, PhonePhone and Librem5 are "scam products" and even asking questions about them is "spreading misinformation" and "promotion of fraud", I'd be quite, quite vary of the claims GrapheneOS developers make about its security. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [β] youngGoku@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago Which chat, the matrix channel?

Yes, it is. It's the Purism scam company. I watched a video on it. It was informative and unfortunate.

However, I'm not aware of anyone within the team criticizing his behavior or statements, which, while might be a bit of a stretch, likely implies that everyone related to the project, at the very least, tolerates, if not outright shares the the views. I find it practically impossible to trust claims of people like that, to be honest. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] h3ndrik@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago Yeah, I'm not sure if you always need to apologize for other people. They have a Code of Conduct and that criticises exactly that. I don't want to warm up all the internet drama that happened back then. There was harassment involved, in my eyes probably mental health issues and a bit of persecution mania. You'd probably only make it worse. If you don't like how it turned out... You don't have to use that project. Just use another smartphone OS. permalink fedilink source parent [β] Hiro8811@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago Is that so. I don't known the full story but I did heard something about librem being a scam. Either way both of them seem shady so I'll look more into it permalink fedilink source parent [β] Lmaydev@programming.dev 12 points 2 years ago They forked it when it was announced they were going to shut it down. Not sure what the issue with that is. permalink fedilink source parent [β] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago LineageOS did some type of takeover on cyanogenmod and I forget the details but I remember the whole situation left a sour taste in my mouth. CyanogenMod was the one that went commercial and was shut down. LineageOS is the continuation of the original vision. Kinda like OpenOffice vs LibreOffice. In 2013, the founder, Stefanie Jane,[11][12] obtained venture funding under the name Cyanogen Inc. to allow commercialization of the project.[1][13] However, the company did not, in her view, capitalize on the project's success, and in 2016 she left or was forced out[14] as part of a corporate restructure, which involved a change of CEO, closure of offices and projects, and cessation of services,[15][16] and therefore left uncertainty over the future of the company. The code itself, being open source, was later forked, and its development continues as a community project under the LineageOS name. permalink fedilink source parent [β] jet@hackertalks.com 1 point 2 years ago I'm the opposite. I was running graphineos until the device ran out of the support window, and then it became lineage os. permalink fedilink source parent

They have a Code of Conduct and that criticises exactly that. I don't want to warm up all the internet drama that happened back then. There was harassment involved, in my eyes probably mental health issues and a bit of persecution mania. You'd probably only make it worse. If you don't like how it turned out...

[β] Lmaydev@programming.dev 12 points 2 years ago They forked it when it was announced they were going to shut it down. Not sure what the issue with that is. permalink fedilink source parent
[β] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago LineageOS did some type of takeover on cyanogenmod and I forget the details but I remember the whole situation left a sour taste in my mouth. CyanogenMod was the one that went commercial and was shut down. LineageOS is the continuation of the original vision. Kinda like OpenOffice vs LibreOffice. In 2013, the founder, Stefanie Jane,[11][12] obtained venture funding under the name Cyanogen Inc. to allow commercialization of the project.[1][13] However, the company did not, in her view, capitalize on the project's success, and in 2016 she left or was forced out[14] as part of a corporate restructure, which involved a change of CEO, closure of offices and projects, and cessation of services,[15][16] and therefore left uncertainty over the future of the company. The code itself, being open source, was later forked, and its development continues as a community project under the LineageOS name. permalink fedilink source parent
