  • It is a fair point to be honest.

    Closed source could be a bit safer due to liability I suppose?

    If they were to do something really nefarious and would get caught they’d get sued to pieces and probably lose most of the reputation?

    Sure, a shady rom would lose it’s reputation as well but that’s about it. There’d be new ones out pretty quickly.

    And for what it’s worth… I don’t think they’re doing anything shady… but still.

    I mean, I use Linux on my main machine at home. That’s open source. I do trust that though…

    This all struck me after flashing an old phone I had laying around (My main phone is supported for 2+ more years) and then feeling like… do I want to use this now? I got a slightly dirty vibe from in. :P

    Being security conscious is annoying at times…
