Looking forward to the day I have the cash for Fairphone or some other alt to Android/iOS

I can recommend flashing /e/OS to de-google the Fairphone. Running smoothly on my FP3 since 2021.

Oh I didn't know about fair phone. Thank you for making me aware of this project.

[–] Maeve@kbin.social 1 points 9 months ago

Very welcome, my friend.

Be aware that their hardware has cross gen problems and their support is very bad. /e/os has implemented tracking id into their update service. They are calling cleanapk, they update OS and Webview extremly slow resulting in a very insecure OS.

I've recently got monthly updates. The last one from 2024-01-09 containing Android security patches until 12/2023.

@torbjoern @Undertaker 💡migrate to #grapheneos on a #degoogled #pixel and enjoy lightning fast ⚡ OS updates for #android14 whilst using an excellent piece of mobile hardware without #tracking

Yeah, well, I'm not gonna give up my potentially long-living #Fairphone (due to excellent repairability) for a Pixel crafted from rare-earth minerals of dubious origin, just because you're #shilling it.
