A Fairphone with GrapheneOS would be the tops

    GrapheneOS doesn't like Fairphone very much it seems...

    Isn't /e/os (murena) a seperate company from fairphone?

    Yes, and I don't know if it could even be classed as a collaboration. They just buy them and resell them with different firmware, basically?

    I assume some part of acceptance is required for that in practice, but it isn't like Fairphone ever advertised them as an official option (as far as I can tell or saw).

    They are just saying that e/OS has delays of important updates that lag. Which the fairphine team then pretty much confirmed.

    Am I a dick for pointing out factual information? Are they? When it comes to something like security and privacy there should be no compromises. The truth should be heard.

    GrapheOS doesn't like anyone. I don't even think they should be treated as part of open phone community. They are hostile to everything that they didn't make.

    They are hostile to those who dont genuinely care about privacy and security like fairphone and murena who also spend time spreading hate and disinformation about grapheneos and the devs and owner

    I all for spreading hate of graphene os devs* but I don't think Fairphone is doing anything like that. Any proof?

    *Just kidding. I think they are toxic but and their opinions on many topics should be ignored but there's no need to hate anyone.

    Sure would be the toppiest of tops!

    We can encourage them to work together in their official communication channels too!

    Would be good for both of them on every level. GrapheneOS learning to make their own phones, and Fairphone learning to make an OS while both being partnered

    Edit: Be the change you want to see everybody!! Flood the gates with what we want!

    Afaik Fairphone is not interested in implementing some security features that GrapheneOS people consider a deal breaker

    I wonder why they don't want to, its not really in Fairphones to not do that

    They are talking about specific hardware features. Which would of course be great, but you can imagine how they are not exactly at the toppiest toppy top of Fairphone's priorities, when they are still struggling to be taken seriously by your mainstream Android buyer.

    Consider that every hardware features is extra hard for Fairphone, on account of their very specific commitments to materials sourcing, labor practices, and longer term support.

    They are a company with a lot of very complicated demands, for a still very low volume of sold devices. They need to pick their battles, and clearly being blessed by the church of Graphene can't be that high a priority.

    Graphene already has a partnership with Motorola now so the assumption is some time (I’ve seen 2027 speculated) we may get a Graphene Phone from Motorola. Mixed feelings about them partnering with a company like that but we’ll see how it goes. I still keep thinking about finally getting a secondhand pixel 10 so I can switch to Graphene from apple.
