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and being MORE out of date then even Fairphones stock roms.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.
GrapheneOs continuing to be the only unclowned rom
Graphene is the biggest joke of them all. Only works on Google hardware? lmao
That’s because they’re the only ones that meet the project’s requirements at the moment, but that may soon change soon. Maybe you’ve seen the news that the project is in talks with an OEM for them to meet the requirements and have official support for GrapheneOS for some of the existing devices.

Linaege and Calyx is OK too, since they actually develope software (Linaege does it from scratch, Calyx develops Seedvault etc). even though they are not as rigid as Graphene, they are still ok for normal ungoogled stuff, and to be honest, most people dont need the security Graphene provides them with.
My problem is with Roms like /E/ OS or Iode, which essentially add nothing of value, but instead Fork Linaege, remove Seedvault and everything what isn’t essential, and sell what is essentially a DNS blocker (which you can just use on your VPN slot via apps like DNSnet, or Server side like Adguard or Mullvad DNS) as a new ROM, complete with Subscription Service and (in the case of E OS) even with non encrypted Backup, essentially begging someone to compromise their Servers and steal peoples Photos and Data.
Isn’t calyx dead now
they need new encryption keys for the new lead devs, but that takes months, so it is “dead” for however long that takes
A lead Dev has left and now they have to rebuild much of their workflow, it will only take 4-6 months according to them
If you can’t read the entire line of code, and didn’t fab your own PC, you can’t garantee it.
Pretty ridiculous take I can wire sniff everything coming out of my house and Linux (I use fedora Atomic) and GrapheneOs solve any sort of tracking issues. Then you just have only your ISP to worry about, and that can be solved with appropriate vpn, vps, and/or tor setups
Edit oh you’re a bit account
You’re letting them troll you. It’s far more simple. See part 4: https://lemmy.world/post/35312231
Blatant lie, classic disinformation, who told you to read it alone?
When it bans us forking it, we do not control it, guaranteed. lmao
Ok, you know best bud.
