It's not good to push the limits. It's better to keep it between 20% and 80%. Maybe provide a bit of sunshine in between:

Soweit ich das verstanden habe, dürfen Verlage die nur nicht hinter Bezahlschranken verstecke. Das heißt nicht, dass die gemeinfrei sind. Wären sie Gemeinfrei dürftest du die ja auch selbst drucken und verkaufen.

After that it's maybe just Android updates. The point is, just because an vendor provides some updates, you don't know if they are providing security patches for the hardware drivers or not. Fariphone is maybe late with major Android versions, but they provide security updates more often.

Samsung provided updates for 2 years in the past and last time I checked it was 4 years, but even with 7 years it's less than the 8 years of Fairphone. In opposite to Fairphone they don't use chips which are updated for 5 years. Qualcomm updates their chips maybe for 2 years.

Not having the funding to support Fairphone is a fair point, thanks.

My point is, if you are not under surveillance of an government, it's maybe okay to have a less secure phone. Maybe Graphene OS is just designed for high risk scenarios, where you need the very best you can get. But maybe it could also help others that are kind of secure, to get more secure.

I have never said that. I would say Fairphone with GrapheneOS would be more secure than Fairphone with normal Android or /e/ OS. GrapheneOS seems to have set their security demand very high. So high, only Google Pixel could fulfil them. It would be nice to have a more sustainable alternative.

So GrapheneOS currently only supports Pixel phones because of security. So if you say "basic security standards", do you mean that all other manufacturers are not following basic security standards, just Google does that?

@socials.metroplextech.net claimed GrapheneOS would need updates from Fairphone to provide security updates. So why is that different for Pixel. Either you need updates from them, too, then the security updates end, when the support of the Google Pixel ends, or you could update the Fairphone, too.

While you sacrifice sustainability for a bit more security which you might not need anyway, which is very lazy imo.
The #1 priority for Fairphone is sustainability and fairness which is their selling point. It's not insecure. It's just a bit less secure.

I don't know why they need so long for major version updates. Doesn't mean they don't push security updates every month. While Google will not provide you with updates at all at some times, Fariphone will provide you with updates for 8 years and you can use it even longer if you want to safe money.

That's not the case. They can provide updates for more than 5 years. Just Qualcom isn't providing updates for their chips anymore. They can still fix any security issue on a higher level and even can try to fix issues with the chip themselves if some get public afterwards, e. g. with workarounds.

You said the Pixel's SoC is more secure, but what does that mean? What kind of attacks does that prevent? What could happen with the weaker SoC from the Fairphone?

I understand your whish for a more modern, more secure SoC, but if that means that the phone is only supported for 4 years with updates, that's not sustainable. The question is, what one looses. What is the attack vector that opens with a less secure SoC? Android is still sandboxing the Apps.

As lifetime is key for sustainability. Nothingphone only provides 4 years of support and even if they would have the same sustainable and fair resources as Fairphone, they would still cause nearly double the CO2, because for the time one Fairphone lives you need 2 Nothingphones.

Fairphone claimed they chose the industrial SoC QCM6490 because Qualcomm supports that for 5 years. So they kind of have to choose that, to provide long time support with updates. Manifacturing causes about 80% of smartphone lifetime CO2 emissions, so using them for 8+ years is reducing that a lot.

Maybe I misunderstand what GrapheneOS is. Is it just a UI? Because if I buy a windows laptop and install Ubuntu Linux on it, Ubuntu doesn't depend on Windows providing updates for that Laptop. So if I buy a Pixel and install GrapheneOS on it, why does it need Pixel updates? 🤔
