    Someone on the GOS matrix chat completely poopooed the idea of radio switches. Not sure what that tells you but there you go. I think it's the idea that if you trust your OS, why rely on switches

      The modem in every cell phone has proprietary drivers. You might know what every line of your OS does but that modem is doing it's own thing outside of your control and can receive new updates and instructions from cell towers.

          Depending on how the phone is designed the radios have equal or greater precedence to your own CPUs protections so knowing what it’s running is valuable.

        There was bullshit youtube Eceleb drama where this channel Techlore started shitting on Daniel Micay, the creator of graphene because Daniel didn't want to affiliate with any youtube channel. Now that's all over the internet, how 'toxic' the community is and AFAIK it's nonsense. The Matrix chat has some mods who are nerds and antagonistic towards ignorant questions but it's nothing out of the ordinary for nerdy internet stuff. Shouldn't turn you off of graphene tho, installation is very easy, chat isn't even necessary. If you don't need microg you should definitely do graphene

            that's funny, the GOS people actually insist that apple has really good security, which I trust is true but the tradeoff obviously is that everything you do is fingerprinted by your Apple ID and why on earth would we trust apple with all of that information

                that's true about privacy, certainly. GOS people also say that windows/apple are much more secure than linux, which might be true but again that's unhelpful to the average person who is not a High-Value Target, Literally Edward Snowden type of person, and is much more likely to be passively tracked by these corporations than actively targeted and attacked by a hacker

                        and apple have poured a lot of money into their privacy advertising campaigns, so people fall for that too

                        Apple is basically the Democratic Party of phone manufacturers. All they need to do is say "AT LEAST WE'RE NOT TRUMP GOOGLE!" and everyone acts like the bIdenPhone has single-handedly rescued society from the brink of tech dystopia.
