On the surface. DivestedOS has a whole laundry list of bugs and defects that /e/ hasn’t patched in yeeeeaarrs. Including how many holes their so-called ‘IP scrambler’ actually has.
Your coworkers would be safer with stock. Or Lineage. Or literally anything else.
GOS team are some elitist jerks, sure, but what they make works well. And I respect the fuck out of Calyx for being committed to making something like MicroG work.
GOS or Calyx, either is gonna be miles better than /e/. /e/ is running their ‘native IP scrambler’ on a two-year old commit of TOR. Fuck everything about that.
$150 for a refurb Unlocked Pixel 6 from eBay. That’s both cheaper, more ecologically friendly, and better for your privacy than /e/ can ever hope for.
Came here literally to comment this. Hooooly fuck, I would not trust /e/ as far as I can throw a Fairphone. Good thing they’re compostable, becauze that’s the only up they have on a Graphene flash.
Until I can take a basic actionable step to ensuring my information is safe like LOCKING MY BOOTLOADER… I am good over here.
Hi. Lifelong Rebel Scum here.
We can live in harmony with our fellow sci-fi nerds. Both our respective favorites inspire real-world positive change. We have better things to fight over than why Luke and Rey suffer from the same bad writing, or the fact that Paramount has been scrambling to bury Star Trek’s communist roots for decades.
Besides… we can unite over our shared distaste for Warhammer 40K.
