Yeah CalyxOS just came back from a hiatus due to some internal drama, and iodéOS is a French based ROM that is based on LineageOS.

CalyxOS has made some pretty nice QoL changes in the last few years that I really appreciate (Seedvault backups, Per-app, per connection type firewalling, Work profile ootb, VPN sharing over all profiles)

iodeOS offers bootloader relocking on devices that support it, and they support devices longer than Calyx & Graphene for Eco. sustainability, but you do still run the risk of the proprietary hardware drivers having vulnerabilities. I tried it out for a bit but it wasnt for me.

LineageOS via avbroot, CalyxOS and iodéOS all support bootloader relocking.

This is blatant disinformation. CalyxOS requires a relockable bootloader with their AVB key to support, and they support Fairphone, Motorola, Shift and in the past have supported OnePlus and Xiomi in addition to Google.

The reason Graphene is only on Pixels is due to the Titan security chip on Pixels being so vital to the GrapheneOS security profile.

seems predatory

It doesnt, but it does work with watches that aren’t built by oligarchic companies who want to siphon you for advertising data.

It makes sense for a parent who values convience at the expense of everything, sure.

It doesnt make sense for parents who want their children to learn how to live independently.

Instead of actually parenting and teaching your children about the value of their labor through something like a dedicated children’s checking account (which is a real thing) you are handing that step off to google because you are too lazy to actually set up the account and monitor it.

google wallet adds surveillance for kids and teens, no parenting required

meanwhile, over on every custom ROM, this has been a feature for ages

I understand the word being odd but I’m not sure why you chose to go with a definition that associates it with pedophiles???

Give ListenBrainz a try. You can use their app to scrobble your listens, or some apps support scrobbling natively. Then they make you playlists weekly based on what you’ve been listening too.

best part about them is that they are mostly open source and provide an ethical alternative to the curation algos.

can’t have shit in detroit

open source software is literally a form of leftism… lol

I havent heard about it, so if its true and u have a source or something I’d be interested to hear about it

Yeah thats pretty much the gist of it

It should’ve asked you if you wanted to switch update channels a few months back.
