[image] iodéOS for Fairphone 4? Hello everyone, today the Fairphone 4 was launched!!! Now the hardware finally meets my wishes. In particular, a very good main camera and good ultra-wide-angle camera are now on board. :smiley: Fairphone Livestream: T… [Scre…

[image] he/they/*: The same applies to Lineage as well, just because they are bigger doesn’t mean they are inherently more trustworthy. There’s still a person creating your ROM without any meaningful oversight. That is all true unfortunately, no disagreement from my side. As the maintainer of…

[image] bjoern52: And as e.foundation is an official partner of Fairphone, I trust them and give them this try. And it is working nicely, especially with the new release of yesterday. Isn’t Google one too? I think that an official partner doesn’t imply that they’re a trustworthy company. Hop…

[image] WhyNotHugo: but I still don’t get why they needed to fork LOS rather than contribute to it I shared the same sentiment when they started out as “eelo” back then. But it makes sense. Some thoughts … LineageOS will not allow the pre-integration of microG in the way /e/OS or LineageOS …

Oh Google is immensely trustworthy. Their security is second to none. Any data you give to Google is totally safe. I have no worries keeping my passwords and credit card data on a google doc.

For me this feels more like a Debian → Ubuntu situation (will probably only make sense to Linux users…). Neither /e/ nor iode seem to be hostile forks to the upstream. As long as there isn’t anyone actively blocking it, there’s still the possibility both sides profit in the end :crossed_fingers:

I’m not sure if I should like that post, someone might think it’s the way to go :rofl:

[image] ehrt74: Oh Google is immensely trustworthy. Their security is second to none. Any data you give to Google is totally safe. I have no worries keeping my passwords and credit card data on a google doc. Pretty funny. :laughing: I would state that Google is competent at keeping your data…

Competence is rare in this field. Apple for a long time didn’t have any rate limiting for login attempts, for example. The result: thousands of iCloud accounts got hacked. And then there are password managers like lastpass which seem to get hacked quite regularly. If i really wanted to keep informa…

[image] Volker: Just as a short heads up in case that’s relevant for someone: iodéOS is not open source yet Perhaps the official statement from iodé is interesting on this topic. It was published in the iodé-forum: [image] vince31fr, 05.02.2022: Hi, iodé is based on LineageOS and partiall…
