Yeah maybe. But whether it's intentional or not, I would not want to use /e/os.
But also, from the linked thread:
Murena is a for-profit company owned by shareholders including Gaël Duval. /e/ has a non-profit organization which is also led by Gaël Duval. /e/ includes paid services from Murena. /e/ very clearly exists to build products for Murena to sell in order to enrich the shareholders.
Despite being done for profit, /e/ receives millions of euros in funding from the EU on an ongoing basis. /e/ and Murena use extraordinarily inaccurate marketing to not only promote their products/services but also to mislead people about GrapheneOS and scare them away from it.
Recently, France's national law enforcement began fearmongering about GrapheneOS and smearing it with inaccurate claims. France's corporate and state media heavily participated. Many articles and also radio/television coverage misrepresented GrapheneOS as being for criminals.
Their marketing heavily focuses on avoiding Google and gives the impression they believe privacy means avoiding one company. Meanwhile, they add a bunch of Google services not present in the Android Open Source Project and give extensive privileged access to Google apps/services.
I don't think so. You need to run npm build or something, then install ionic and capacitor, then run npx cap init, then go into the android folder and run ./gradlew build
Just because something does something good doesn't mean it's immune to criticism.
Ah fair enough
First of all, I didn't censor it, that's a quote from the Bluesky post.
But also, why is everybody so offended by censored words here? I don't get it.
Yeah maybe. But whether it's intentional or not, I would not want to use /e/os.

I am skeptical how worthwile it is to use /e/os over OEM Android at this point
Who? Gaël Duval or GrapheneOS?

Yeah definitely can relate. I'm kinda stuck using it cause I need my bookmarks to sync with my computer, but it is pretty buggy.
I can dm you the apk if you want
It's different on different operating systems. Search how to set environment variable for whatever operating system you use
I mean, out of all the companies that I have boight stuff from, Valve is the one I trust the most
Oh I forgot, you need to set the CI_BUILD_NUMBER environment variable to some number (I just set it to 1)
I just saw a gradlew file in the android folder so I ran gradlew build, and then I searched up the error messages I got until I fixed them
Yeah the poll on r/196 was kind of stupid, of course they're going to vote open, everyone who would vote close has left.
Definitely, or at least the firefox one
Latest release notes says it's been submitted to Google Play, so hopefully not long.
I don't think so. You need to run npm build or something, then install ionic and capacitor, then run npx cap init, then go into the android folder and run ./gradlew build
Oh my god super excited to hear it will be coming to the play store. Once that happens it will probably be the perfect Lemmy app.
But then the links don't open in Firefox, which is a dealbreaker for me
