I think the #LightPhone3 is better than a shitty "#ProducedEwaste" #Android 8.1 brick from China but I don't consider it worth the premium asked [U$D 799 MSRP, U$D 599 preorder] for it.

• Plus their #Website being built to mandate #JavaScript isn't very "respecting" of me as a potential user.

I think people can get a better experience buying a #degoogled #Fairphone with #eOS and just put #RelaunchX as an #eInk-optimized #launcher on it and have a better option.

• But I guess given #ForProfitHealthcare in the #USA is expensive I can see why a lot of people would rather buy such a device and sell their old one than seek therapy if they are susceptible to shitty patterns that #developers harness to maximize #screentime and #revenue.

Can't have #doomscrolling or #microtransactions if it doesn't support #NSAbook's #apps or shitty #PayToLoose #games...

• I do however acknowledge that there is a #market for #smol & #sleek "#StupidPhones" or rather compact #Smartphones and I do want to see more competition for it.

What I do have to say is that #MKBHD acknowledges that he isn't the target audience and "that's fine"...

• I just think that requiring people to sign up to some account just to be able to add/remove #Apps is a major #nope in my book.

I stayed off #GooglePlay for longer than it's being called like that and their "#lightOS" is most likely some tightly locked-down Android...

• It's just an insultingly high pricetag for < $200 internals and the best feature they have isn't even the phone but offering a "no frills" plan which seems okay (by #USA standards!) but still...

I think people would be more accepting if it was a $299 or even $399 device, but at a price of a @monocles #phone whilst being way less versatile it's just not worth it.

• Cuz it's not even a super "secure" device or offers something like a "concierge service" where the device price is artifically high to filter out average #WageWorkers without much disposable income...

Da ieri pomeriggio sto provando ad usare giornalmente un telefono"Degooglato" (pixel 3a con LineageOS)

Per adesso, le uniche "mancanze" sono le app bancarie, che vogliono essere legate solo al vecchio telefono e sicché o le trasferisco su questo o le lascio lì.
Per il resto, sembra per ora che la batteria regga meglio del previsto.

Ah, e whatsapp. Lì c'è lo zoccolo duro dei parenti e amici stretti. Quello difficilmente, purtroppo, riuscirà a sparire.

Acompanho desde meados do ano 2020 o desenvolvimento do /e/os, uma ROM construída a partir do AOSP e do #lineageos . Actualmente uso um Murena Fairphone 4.

Há por aqui mais alguém a usar /e/os?

aktualizacja /e/OS do wersji 2.9
wszystko śmiga bajkowo!

Looks like it's time to shop for a new mobile "Android 14, Final @calyxinstitute OS update for Pixel 3 - 4a and @shiftphones SHIFT6MQ"

I was always surprised why there is not a way to sync #calendars and #contacts in #android without an app.
Although there are FOSS apps that work well, I'd expect that such a basic feature would be something the OS would do out of the box, specially considering the OS already provides an abstraction for "accounts".
For #degoogled #androidROM it makes even more sense, since most likely users will sync contact and calendar from a "custom" #caldav #carddav service.
#grapheneos

This is some bs. If AOSP development is made less publicly accessible it does NOT " simplify things for developers" but rather it hinders it for de-googled privacy respecting ROMs and their device ports. The need for continued and ramped up efforts developing alternative mobile OS's, like Ubuntu Touch, Sailfish OS, Droidian, Mobian, Postmarket, etc. is even more apparent with this move by Google.

No! THIS is a #DeGoogled #phone! by #thehatedone #yt #privacy #security

I'll be testing #eOS #degoogled #android for the next few days/weeks.

Installation on a Nothing CMF Phone went ok-ish, but could definitely be improved, at least in terms of better documentation.

Er der nogen her på Mastodon der har erfaringer med Degoogled mobil. #degoogled #murena #lineageos

¡Este 12/3 tenemos Taller Online Cyberciruja en tube.undernet.uy !

A las 19 arranca el workshop online "Cómo instalar un Android libre de Google y de oligarcas del dato".

https://tube.undernet.uy/w/wugv5N1ArSUWkwVpBbwFQA

No hace falta tener ningún conocimiento previo, solo interés por aprender a liberarse de las bigtech y mantener aún así una vida digital activa.

¡Sumate este miércoles al streaming de cybercirujas!

Annonce d'un ami, il s'agit d'un téléphone dégooglisé, avec e/os. Très bon appreil photo. batterie neuve : https://www.leboncoin.fr/ad/telephones_objets_connectes/2948085171

With /e/OS, it's so easy to block trackers and protect yourself from others accessing your location or IP. It's literally one tap.

I've used the default maps and navigation app that comes with /e/OS and I am pleasantly surprised. In fact, I think it's better than Google Maps, honestly. Maybe it's a coincidence, but it has worked better for me. I used it in my city (Manchester, UK) and it selected the routes very well

The app is Magic Earth, and from what I've seen, it's not open source but from a Swiss company. But I really love it and prefer it over Google Maps

still thinking to buy phone with LineageOS support, but it waste of money and i think isn't that necessary

on journey to strengthen my privacy, and the step I really want to do is use degoogled phone, is it worth it? or it's fine to use stock OS like ONE UI, de-bloat it, use FOSS software and use Firewall and VPN like Rethink DNS?

my threats model isn't that extreme, one of them is avoid big tech, tracker and advertisement

yeah, it's really a journey

I have #deGoogled my phone by (ironically) picking up a second-hand #pixel7 and immediately installing #grapheneOS.

Brings me right back to the days of building #gingerbread for my #htc #raider.

I love that there's no #google on this slab - but I have the option of adding google services in case I ever absolutely *need* to use a piece of software available only on play.

Being an #android oldschooler... I was some impressed with the web installer. My grandparents could have installed Graphene on their phones themselves. Fantastic.
