The worst part is the Orwellian opening sentence they start with in their blog post [0]:

> You shouldn’t have to choose between open and secure

2+2=5

Truly the end of an era. I've spent nearly two decades buying Android phones because of a single checkbox in settings that let me have the freedom I consider essential to any computing device that I own.

In a way, it's liberating, I've missed out on a lot from the Apple ecosystem because of that checkbox. Maybe finally I can let go of it now the choice is out of my hands.

GrapheneOS are living on the mercy of Google by the way.

As opposed to Android, which is... not living at the mercy of Google? Wait, that's not right.

People say this same shit about Firefox. "Oh they rely on Google for revenue! Jump ship jump ship!"

Yeah, and what about Chrome? How much does Chrome rely on Google for revenue? Its got fucking Google in the name.
