I think the EU should pile in as well. It's basically an oven-ready independent mobile OS.

Graphene OS spends its social capital on hallucinating attacks from other projects and bullying other projects by sending their followers against them, based on those hallucinated attacks. It also has a completely intransparent project structure based around a supposedly retired mean developer, who then just did not (and still does almost all commits). That's not a project where the EU can invest money in, and the confidence users on HN tend to put into that project is baffling.

Yes that guy is extremely weird, he should delegate operations and community management to someone who isn't weird and stick to development.

The EU hate GrapheneOS. They chased them out to Canada just last year because they didn't want to put in backdoors for law enforcement.

The EU should pile money into /e/OS. It's maintained by an EU company (Murena) and has European hardware options - Fairphone (NL), SHIFTphone (Germany), and Volla (Germany). Yes, I know some of them use US Qualcomm chips, but you have to start somewhere.

Europe is hostile towards Graphene users.

I am sure you know this, but just in case:

Europe is a continent, with many disparate nations and cultures. This continent is not hostile towards Graphene users.

In Europe there is the European Union (EU), which also is comprised of many disparate nations and cultures but a subset of those comprising Europe.

I say the following as a staunch supporter of European integration and cooperation:

The EU is actively hostile towards any software with the stated goal of safeguarding users right to privacy and security. That means GrapheneOS but also Signal, Matrix and more.

edit: spelling & grammar
