I have already a degoogled phone on /e/OS which works pretty fine but I have r​ed​ an article which said /e/OS is not actually very safe because it has very old security patches compared to ​AOSP which has is up-to-date.

/e/OS is the product of Murena company which is promoting their own stuff for profit.

Of course GrafeneOS would be better for privacy but I have a fairphone so it is not an option.

​What about CalyxOS ? It is more privacy o​riented but now releases are paused. Do you think I should install existing build of CalyxOS for FP5 or install LineageOS and find a good DNS/VPN to block ads and trackers. This is a tool I like on e/OS/​ to​ have a view on blocked trackers.

What alternative would you advice on AOSP ?

    I don’t trust any of them, and I don’t trust Motorola.

    My next phone will be an Iphone, treated like an appliance; no more info given than necessary to order a pizza, call my boss, navigate this dystopian wasteland, and see how much fiat is in my wageslave account.

    Time to kick it like it’s 2007 and rock a laptop 24/7.

        Not if you think about it longer than two minutes.

        Apple has to protect their IP, brand, their own information and their reputation. My identity and professional information is safe behind an iPhone, because they have to be for themselves.

        My actual friends, actual social media activity, anarchism, socialist views, contacts, lol, even any discussion had here will never see that screen, no xmpp client, no tor, no yggdrasil, so, who cares what I order pizza and reserve parking spots with?
