• Apple Introduces M4 Chip

  I, an engineer, am not doing this myself, too. There is a middle ground though: just use a privacy-oriented Android build, like DivestOS. [1] There are a couple caveats: 1. It is still a bit tricky for a non-technical person to install. Should not be a problem if they know somebody who can help, though. There's been some progress making the process more user friendly recently (e.g. WebUSB-based GrapheneOS... - Source: Hacker News / 26 days ago

• LineageOS is currently installed on 1.5M Android devices

  DivestOS is a slightly modified Lineage version that officially supports relocking on some phones (in contrast with Lineage, which I think can be relocked but explicitly tells users not to do that). It also has sandboxed implementations of both official Google services — ported from Graphene, I think – and microG. I'm using it with microG, bootloader relocked, and it seems to pass SafetyNet this way – at... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Debloat non-rooted Android devices

  > ...like LineageOS. But installing it is so difficult that only 1% of people have the technical know how to even attempt it... Aside: there is also /e/OS (or MurenaOS - their naming is inconsistent). It is basically LineageOS that someone else installs for you so you get everything in a package [0]. They sell many phones, but it also runs nicely on Fairphones if you want a phone that you can repair (there is of... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Even Google CEO Sundar Pichai doesn't understand Google's privacy controls

  Easy solution --- don't use Android. I haven't in years. I use e/OS instead. https://e.foundation/. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Ask HN: Open-Source Mobile Phones

  There is /e/ OS - https://e.foundation - which also offers their second version of the Murena phone that comes pre-installed with the OS - https://murena.com They also sell other phones pre-installed or you can install it yourself. Disclaimer: I haven't used it yet but trying to find some time to install it on my Pixel 4a. Otherwise Fairphone is fairly open. You won't find anything that's usable and is fully open,... - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Dot Dotat.at

  I have `sahil@e.email`. Don't know if they still accept new users! It's run by https://e.foundation/. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• Is there any privacy-friendly right to repair phones that we can get?
