You're supporting diva devs selling out.

We don't need GOS to do well. We need a fully open ecosystem for phone operating systems. GOS devs don't let anyone incorporate their code.

They also refuse to provide basic functionality like inverted navbar buttons. Because they're diva devs.

False

They also refuse to provide basic functionality like inverted navbar buttons.

This is supported in AOSP now.

Because they’re diva devs.

This doesn't seem like a mature thing to say just because you want to flip buttons and are annoyed that the privacy and security-focused project didn't add a feature to flip buttons.

...don't let anyone else incorporate their code.

Is it not open source?

[–] TWeaK@lemmy.today 1 points 2 days ago (2 children)

It's open source, but the license agreement prohibits using it in other projects. You can do it for your own personal builds, but not any published builds.

[–] other8026@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 day ago

That's very false. There are other OSes with GrapheneOS code or forks of GrapheneOS.

so, literally not open source by the OSI's definition, great
