grayway2 I did not know that it was not a "match made in heaven", I therefore have to retract that statement.
Sometimes it feels really hopeless, but with projects like GrapheneOS there is still hope even though we are indeed the minority, yet for countless of people GrapheneOS is of the utmost importance; whistleblowers, journalists, dissidents and the many people (like myself) that don't want their metadata sold by a build-in collection of that malware (IMO) in stock firmwares and government backdoors enforced by gag-orders.
In a world like today, security and privacy is more important than ever, yet many people are heading in the opposite direction...
If I only had a magic wand, I would make things better, but the GrapheneOS developers did alot of good with their coding-magic instead.
It feels very uncertain after those AOSP changes but I guess Google will keep trying to pull things like that when projects like GrapheneOS get too big anyway... )-:
