• 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 / 14 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

• 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

• Best OS for Pinephone Pro?

  I haven't messed with mine recently so not sure what the status of mobian is right now, but it would be worth giving it a try. Source: about 1 year ago

• Show HN: DivestOS, long term support for end-of-life Android devices

  Sounds like you want https://postmarketos.org/ or https://mobian-project.org/ ? - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Recent work towards mobile GNOME demoed on OnePlus 6 (Video by @calebccff on Twitter)

  This is still in active development. I would recommend trying postmarketOS or Mobian if you have a compatible device. They are both mainly packaged with Phosh, which is also a GNOME project, although most development is headed by Purism. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Droidian Linux on Google Pixel 3a

  Droidian is based on Mobian, a distro that aims to adapt Debian to mobile. It uses the same technologies as Ubuntu Touch (libhybris and Halium) to create support for Android devices. Source: about 2 years ago

• We have developed an application that gives people worldwide a tool to boycott brands that have not left Russian and pay taxes there, identifying businesses that still operate by their names. We have added a barcode scanner so that you can scan products directly in the store.

  I have to make compromises often, but I choose to only install programs that can trust after setting up my system because I need to trust the device that I carry around with me 100% of the time in my pocket. I use Mobian on my phone and the only nonfree software installed are a few drivers. Source: about 2 years ago
