The Librem 5 is incredibly low-end hardware with many corners cut being sold for now 1299 USD. You go across platforms marketing their products with thoroughly dishonest claims and spin. It's highly likely that you have a financial stake in the company's products because nothing else would explain your devotion to so thoroughly misleading people and marketing their products across many platforms.
> Granted that NXP will stop providing firmware updates for the i.MX 8M Quad in 2033, and I expect that the firmware updates will end much sooner than that for the RS9116 WiFi/BT, BM818 cellular modem, Tesio-Liv3 GNSS, etc, but there is no reason to not expect lifetime software updates
It's a completely false and outrageous claim that it will receive 'lifetime' updates but I see now that you're narrowing it down to simply receiving INCOMPLETE support/updates for the software indefinitely which applies to anything where you can install another OS and you're simply admitting to your explicit attempt to mislead people.
Not receiving firmware updates for every component, which is already the case today, means it's end-of-life. The Librem 5 is already end-of-life by the definition implemented by GrapheneOS. It cannot reach the current Android security patch level. There is no Android security patch that it could reach, since even the earliest ones required avoiding security weaknesses which are unavoidable on that hardware. It's a highly insecure device and no amount of your / Purism (likely one and the same) dishonest marketing is going to change that.
Linux kernel updates in no way guarantee security support for all the drivers, etc. which are being used, and there is no such guarantee for any of the device support code in userspace or any of the userspace projects. Security updates are not provided for many Debian packages. Only a subset of the security fixes get backported in the first place to those that are supported. Using Debian in no way implies getting indefinite or even current security support.
Any further contact with the GrapheneOS project or project members on your part or any further attempts to spread misinformation about it will be considered harassment as I already said earlier. We aren't interested in communication with you. If you don't stop contacting us, spreading libel about our project members and misinformation about our project, we'll begin contacting organizations/projects where you're involved about the harassment and malicious behavior across platforms towards an open source project.
Anyone can look at https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=amosbatto and see that you're heavily involved in marketing and providing customer support for Purism, which unfortunately involves spreading a lot of misinformation about both Purism's products, the company and about other open source projects which you aim to steer people away from and towards buying their products. We've already requested that Purism avoids contacting us and trying to harm our product. That extends to you too. You need to stop. This is your final warning.
As I already stated earlier, if you continued to spread misinformation, an article will be posted on our site with all the information that I posted here and more. That's going to be happening now. If you continue, then there will be a response directed towards you personally too, because you have made it person with the libel that you and other Purism employees/associates have regularly spread about us across platforms.
Let me state for the record that I have no financial stake in Purism, and I do not represent the company. I am simply a customer of the company who tries to correct the misinformation that I see being posted about the Librem 5 on public forums like this one, because I think that Purism is doing important development work for mobile Linux. I am using my real name "Amos Batto", and anyone who does a simple internet search can find my personal blog, my github page, my facebook page, etc. and verify who I am.

This is ludicrous. You posted information which I consider to be incorrect about the Librem 5 on this forum and at r/Purism. When I responded to correct the record, you accused me of engaging in "harassment and malicious behavior across platforms towards an open source project".
Everyone can see your behavior and it fits a consistent pattern. You go out of your way to criticize other open source projects on public forums. Then, when people try to respond on the technical points, you accuse people of harassing you and trying to harm your project, which is simply not true. Responding to the technical points that you raised on a public forum is not an attempt to "contact" you or members of your project and it certainly is not "harassment" as you term it.
