    And if you don’t know why Pixel is the only phone supported that is on you. They are the only phone that allows you to relock the boot loader with a custom ROM. And since grapheme OS is all about security why would you want to run a phone with a unlocked boot loader. That is a point of weakness.

      No, they are not the only phone that lets yoy relock the bootloader.

      They are the only phone to do that the proper way, while also including a TPM.

      Lemmy is a place of idealism. Which don’t get me wrong is great, but it does mean no practically and often detriment to the changes they want to see in society.
