• 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 / 3 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.

• LG V20 as a "music friendly" daily driver in 2023 with Lineage OS (/e/ OS)?

  A step up in terms of privacy would be DivestOS but the only time that I tried to install it didn't boot and I didn't have time to troubleshoot why, but that's a really nice project that I would look again in the future. Source: about 1 year ago

• us What's a good (under $500, preferably lower than $200 though) android for geeks?

  Ironically, Pixels are the best for de-Googling. GrapheneOS requires a Pixel, as does CalyxOS for the most part. If you don't want your money going to Google, a used/refurb Pixel gets around that in my opinion. Source: 10 months ago

• Youtube Premium via VPN

  Oh I see makes sense, one closed system needs another 😅 but if you look at Android, look at https://grapheneos.org/ and https://calyxos.org/. Source: 11 months ago

• Android vs Apple phones

  I agree with your point, but wanted to ask, have you considered using a device with a degoogled AOSP-based OS like GrapheneOS or CalyxOS? Source: 12 months ago
