First of all, to anyone downvoting my Comments about /e/ being a piece of shit, because…

  • they advertise themselves as degoogled, but instead let you connect to Google/Microsoft/etc services

  • replace all the propriatery not at all Secure Services from Google, with… Drumroll please… Propriatery and not at all Secure Services from themselves and actively encourage it.

  • They are For-profit

  • and being MORE out of date then even Fairphones stock roms.

… I told you so. Dm your Instance admin, pay them to send the DB entries of your Downvotes on a Thumb drive (or anything else from SSD to 3.5 inchHDD, depending on your preferences), and shove it up your rectum.

But a TL;DR:

/E/ is not Private. They just switch one bad comany to another one.

      Well, you can make LOS decently private with intelligent use, but you can forget about security. I use it on my Redmi 4X (originally with android 7, when AVB wasn’t even a thing yet), so the security is still better than the original firmware. It’s a tool to decent-ify security and usability of old hardware, it isnt a miracle or a hardened os.

      Privacy is the Main point spoken of in both the websites.

      And don’t come up with some „but privacy means big tech and OpenAI isn’t big tech” bullcrap.

      The word comes up 3 times in /e/, and the whole paragraph in Calyx is all about being spied on by big entities
