If people do not want to interface with those features, they can simply skip them, and the permission model will be the exact same as it is on Android.

We also expect Google's Play Integrity API to inevitably be ruled as anti-competitive, which it is.

A collaboration with an OEM doesn't mean we'll stop providing existing or future Pixels if they continue to meet our requirements.

You should watch Rossmann's video on Linus - he has a habit of doing these hit pieces.

Our requirements are not at all exotic or outlandish, the fact that most OEMs don't meet them says more about how far behind most OEMs are, rather than our standards being unrealistic. We've also been told that they're not unrealistic in practice from numerous OEMs who want to build a device that meets our requirements.

It is also important to note for Pixels specifically that since the 8th gen Pixels, they receive 7 years of support. Additionally, they partner with iFixIt to provide official replacement parts for the duration of the device's life. I'd say that's pretty sustainable, especially when you consider that the Fairphone doesn't actually provide proper support for the amount of years they claim, since they have consistent delays in providing patches.

I assume you're not disputing that Rossmann has a verified Kiwi Farms account, that much is well documented.

The above video refers to a video by Destiny (https://youtu.be/ba383Zux0Mo) where he spends a bunch of time defending Kiwi Farms. Rossmann making a video about it and joking about "lolcows" is what has contributed to people at Kiwi Farms worshipping him, and his fan starting a thread about Daniel there where people tell him to kill himself.

Stop defending this stuff and finding every opportunity you can to try and gaslight others - it's weird.

The person who swatted Daniel spent days raiding our Matrix chat rooms, posting gore and CSAM. We know it was them who did it, because they bragged about it during their raids before we had made any public comments about it happening.

We don't know who the person is, and neither does the police. The details we have about what was said during the calls was provided to Daniel via the police, especially since it happened 3 times, not just once. Thankfully after the first time the responders were somewhat aware of what was happening so it wasn't as scary.

Your deflection is genuinely concerning.

We're of the opinion that there's a growing portion of the population that is becoming more security and privacy conscious, and that's reflected in our userbase, which has been growing consistently over the last few years.

We're not saying we're going to have iPhone's marketshare, but we're constantly growing.

>Now if one is targeted by a really motivated and threatening adversary, I don't think wiping PIN is any better than secondary profile PIN. The moment one chooses to wipe the phone, the adversary could be triggered by the action and harm the victim anyway.

Yes, but at that point, the data is irreversibly rendered inaccessible. There are situations where the data itself is the most important factor, and where the owner of the device being hurt doesn't benefit the adversary now that the data is gone. Of course, as with everything, it depends on one's situation, but the duress PIN feature doesn't involve trickery. It's a way to reliably and quickly do a very specific thing.

Unfortunately, Rossmann turned out to be very dishonest, which in retrospect makes sense, seeing as he has no issues with using Kiwi Farms. He's verified account there is named "larossmann". I suggest you look into it.

It's not just something he's done with GrapheneOS and the founder of the project. There are many videos, such as the one he did on Linus from Linus Tech Tips where he similarly misrepresented things and ascribed mental health labels on them.

Regarding CalyxOS, I would recommend people check out https://eylenburg.github.io/android_comparison.htm as a third-party comparison for various projects, including GrapheneOS and CalyxOS. They're not similar projects.

At the same time, we're in communication with an OEM to have some of their devices have official GrapheneOS support, so we're moving towards redundancy.

I think the main problem is that people can be affected that aren't even using it, which is why it is such a big problem. You can't really hide it's GrapheneOS either, even just by virtue of the features available on the device, you'll be able to deduce what it is.

I understand the idea behind it but it simply isn't realistic to provide and can put people in danger - the very thing it's meant to prevent.
