@lunar_dust_463@mstdn.social We don't ban people from running the software they want to use and we don't spread misinformation about closed source software or otherwise. Not clear what you mean by libre compatible but an OS which doesn't support using the software you want to use doesn't sound like freedom. The whole point of sandboxed Google Play is that Google Play can be optionally installed as regular sandboxed apps with no special access at all. It already does work that way.

In the specified comment GrapheneOS explicitly stated that they have no opposition against non-free binaries and proprietary programs. Doesn’t Free software requires it to not host non free binaries? This is not even firmware

      And even replicant still has some proprietary blobs!

      They have the goal and intention to replace them all with open firmware and drivers eventually

        Yes but if that’s disabled by default and it warns that’s anti-libre malware, Arch Linux does that and gets people off Windows, so who gives a fuck.

          Well they couldv’e given the FOSS alternatives along with the play apps, now only play apps can be installed from the official appstore
