minus-squareScott 🇨🇦🏴☠️@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up0·3 days agoThe bootloader can be unlocked, doesn’t clarify if it can be relocked. An unlocked bootloader is a security problem. We have no information about the degoogled OS. What happens when an app needs Google Play Services? Does the OS have a Sandboxed version or microG? The project is too short on details for me to give an informed opinion.
