Lineage will likely wirk with random phones, that dosn’t mean it’s quality. I say, if a phone OS works on LG, Samaung, Nokia, and a Chinese company phone, I don’t trust the stability of the OS.

that’s just plain bullshit with at most zero backing knowledge. supporting various brands really won’t make the software that complicated. the software you install won’t need to include compatibility patches of all the supported brands and models, it’s routine that system images are customized for the phone, with patches specifically for that phone.

I mean yeah LOS is not the best in quality, but the remaining part does not make sense

not just too expensive, but designed to be hard to repair too. just look up the ifixit disassembly guide, it’s horrible

Graphene can be installed on your phone via a web browser

sorry but that’s misleading. it only works with chrome (and honestly better keep it that way). do we really expect in the privacy community that people use chrome?

don’t forget the list maintainers

that escalated quickly!

e-ink is the screen technology. even if you could replace its OS, that most probably wouldn’t help

google does for sure. a few years ago they demanded all developers to hand in their keys in the pretense of efficiency

steam and valve has also been generally more respectful with users than mostly any other online business, not even just in the space of online software stores. of course it’s not all rainbows and glitter but the point stands.

Valve kills physical ownership of games: I sleep

kills? most of them work with a steam emu, even offline. that’s not even cracking. most of those that don’t have a different limitation.

with a steam emu you can do whatever you want with the game files, often you can put it on your pendrive and play it as a portable game (the right goldberg emu settings allow game data to be stored near the game files instead of appdata)

free lol. did you look at the privacy policy, or just accepted it hastily?

but how will they do diagnostics without the car maker’s diagnostic tool?

that’s interesting. do you perhaps also know what the si param contains?

Don’t forget that even if you can disable its network connection (which is still an important step to avoid remote control shenanigans), the data collection may still continue, and if that’s the case the make’s diagnostic software will forward it to the cloud the next time your car is at service. I’m afraid that can’t be avoided.

you don’t have to be imprisoned to have your life ruined. there are many relatively subtle ways to do that

if it’s an app, it’s not n OS, and does not replace an OS.

People want to replace the OS to get rid of forced data mining, forced updates, other limitations, and to be able to install other kinds of apps

And I wondered who in their right mind would buy just half of that best friends forever charm.

anyone who would like to joke with their depression. I can imagine doing that.

now I actually want something like this

because it’s much less important and so much less risky

the French forgot about when to use guillotines decades ago
