I have been running lineageOS on my OnePlus 2. I liked it, but Lineage has stopped supporting my phone. There are two options that I have been able to find as replacements - postmarketOS and /e/OS. Any thoughts on those or other recommendation? Anything that gets security updates, is open source, and is functional meets my needs.

    I highly recommend just going to the xdadevelopers forum for your device, and see what the most supported ROMs are. They’ll all be AOSP-based of course, but many of them will have de-googled / de-play-store download options. Most importantly the most popular ones will always support all your phone hardware.

              I would like to point out that the term he used before making the edit was pretty obnoxious and targeted towards Indians

              I edited ‘usually’ into ‘often’, as far as I remember. I myself can’t show the history.

              I am an Indian.

              Nobody cares. Even if I said 12yo Indians, that’d still be obvious hyperbole and not racism, because I didn’t use ‘pajeet’ or other racist words. I also didn’t insinuate that only Indians do this.

              It’s just like if I said CSGO is full of 16yo German cheaters. Which incidentally is true and ruins the game for many people, including Germans. If you cared about understanding my comment you wouldn’t have thought it was racist.

              Sorry I didnt notice before that he edited the comment, and unfortunately we dont have any edit history stored in Lemmy. Anyway, when you see a rule violation (eg racism), then you should report it to the admins/mods and have them take care of it. Attacking another user is also a rule violation (rule 2), and is just gonna lead to more trouble.

              Edit: also I suggest that both of you stop arguing, because it is not going anywhere. Just accept that you disagree, and ignore each other. @Helix@feddit.de @TheAnonymouseJoker@lemmy.ml

          Can you provide a source for your dubious claims?

          My experience and subsequent hyperbole. Many of those 12 year olds are probably legal now.

          Is this the “12yo p*jeet ROM” racist meme?

          Don’t call me a racist, mudslinger.

          Because I am an Indian, who has been enough on 4chan and reddit to know what this means.

          OK bruh. I don’t care if you’re Indian or twelve. You shouldn’t pack spyware into my ROMs and know what you’re doing is all I’m saying.

              You call other people racist, which in my book is a serious crime, and then cry about when they tell you to fuck off? What are you, 12? Or have you simply never grown up?

              Stop causing drama and stop trolling me. The new ignore feature will be live in a few weeks and I can’t wait to test it on you.

              I don’t even know what a “12yo p*jeet ROM” is. After a short research I found out it’s a derogatory term for people shitting in the street, who in my understanding probably don’t even have the means to create ROMs as they don’t have access to more basic infrastructure needed to piece them together. Your allegation doesn’t even make any sense.

                  Acting ignorant towards these dogwhistles being called out is a favourite tactic of people like you.

                  I can’t even imagine what horrors 😱 you went through due to my comments. I sincerestly apologise for hurting your feelings. Of course, you caught me, I’m a 👌dog-whistling right wing extremist fascist and I like to start genocides and generally hate everything that is not 👩🏻‍🦲 white, libtard or gay 🏳️‍🌈. That’s clear due to my other racist comments on this site. 🙃
