News sites are so annoying with their aggressive internal linking. They talk about this cool new product you want to read about then, when you're ready to actually see the product on the company's page, you can't find an external link to it anywhere in that article or any other 2375 it links to.

Seriously considering this for my next phone.

I'm between it with Android or Ubuntu Touch and one of the Pixels with GrapheneOS

I'm using /e/ for ~2 years and even contributed to it a bit. All listed controversies were basically about "they say degoogled, but not degoogled enough", mostly because LineageOS still has quite a lot of Google code in them. For example you can't remove Google 204 connectivity check... until you implement your own, which /e/ and GrapheneOS did, but LineageOS didn't. GrapheneOS developer is however an arrogant dick, so I've stopped using it and settled with /e/.

@kravietz @amolith cool, so are you happy with #efoundation ?

@amolith they do have #fairphone with their system preinstalled.
we have 1 #fairphone here. quite alright but also large & a bit heavy
Still like the idea if running 2 sim plus sdcard.
#fairphone itself runs your data, when you order, through many 3rd party services. They are definitely not fair & respectful to the data of the clients. typical #startup mentality 😞

Yes, /e/ does its job as a ROM but also, more importantly, as the server side services that are actually maintained by someone.

Thanks.
My #lineageos Rom is unofficial giving headache with updates.
It /e/ is better maintained, this is my thing until #linux on phones kicks off.
Do banking apps run on /e/ ?
@amolith

@nurinoas

It has MicroG and signature faking but not root, so most paranoid apps were working for me. And yes, it's maintained. Disadvantage - only around ~100 models supported, out of which only a few from 2019.
