Ok, what is divestos.org, and what is this page, and how does it relate to /e/OS? where does it say /e/OS ~~apps have trackers~~ (edit: see replies) has privacy issues, and what evidence are they showing? Not saying it isn't true, but what are we looking at?
Also I didn't say their app have trackers but their newsletters have trackers and the apps are sometimes outdated for short amount of time (like months)
Right, sorry. Still, most companies do this (e.g. emails from my bank) and you just need to block remote images. Still, from a company that makes privacy one of their selling point ...
Divest OS is a fully open source android distribution for older and newly phones. And the newsletter may contain trackers as stated here.
Ok so, DivestOS is a completely different project than eOS ... So how does it relate with privacy issues with eOS and e.foundation? is DivestOS a fork or eOS, or ... ?
Is Divest OS was pointing out the different of other OS like Lineage OS, Grahpene OS, and that French OS. Divest OS was comparing their security, updates, source code and other things to other OSes which states here
Ok, this link now explains what we are looking at, and who is making these claims. thanks
