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.

      They also might package spyware and are often provided by twelve year olds.

        Can you provide a source for your dubious claims? Is this the “12yo p*jeet ROM” racist meme? Because I am an Indian, who has been enough on 4chan and reddit to know what this means.

            I would like to point out that the term he used before making the edit was pretty obnoxious and targeted towards Indians, exatly how it is done regularly on 4chan. Can the comment be reviewed or showed again, before the edit?

            I do not like to mess around with such accusations, and I am sure you know that considering my history.

            In the below comment he even validates his earlier used terms using the sentence:

            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.

            I am an Indian. Who is packing spyware into his ROMs, most of which are made by Indians and are available on XDA as LineageOS tweaks or variations?

              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.

                No, you did not. You are a liar, and I would not have pointed that out if you did just that. Your comment was 2 sentences long, not a one liner. You are simply taking advantage of me not screenshotting your exact phrasing, and Lemmy has no comment scrapers like reddit does. And the admin unfortunately does not see racism because he does not know how racism against Indians work, because he is a foreigner.

              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

                The only person I constantly see attacking and evidently justifying his racist phrasing is this fellow, not me. I have a track record of being vigilant and putting myself on the frontlines for Lemmy, and the only thing I have to gain is the existence of a non obnoxious reddit alternative for everyone, that respects darknet anonymous proxy access.

                I made a mistake of not screenshotting the exact phrase, and he is taking advantage of it openly. I see it as important to be vigilant about racism towards all the major factions of society, not just the LGBT+, the Jews, Blacks, Muslims and so on. Indians are PoCs and they face their fair share of racism, and there are not enough Indians on the internet to point it out. Atleast I have not seen another active Indian on Lemmy yet, as the couple users on c/india are dormant now.

                I would also like to make my position clear once again that I do not accuse users of such serious issues randomly. When I do, it will be rare and it will be worth looking into.

          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. Indians are called pjeet and rjeesh commonly on 4chan, reddit and various other forums that let slide away racism.

                  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. 🙃
