I had a great time as a guest on the show "A la French" with super sharp questions from Jean-Baptiste Kempf Mehdi Medjaoui Steeve Morin 🙏
Talking about Mandrake Linux and Murena/e/OS of course, but more generally about privacy and "organic tech"!
Somewhat technical and in 🇫🇷 language but you get the subtitles.
And yes it's YouTube, I know...
So I am repeating again, and again...
/e/OS is not designed to (supposedly, possibly, in the best case, if no 0-day exploit...) protect targeted people from security exploits.
What /e/OS is designed for is protecting users from the permanent data collection that dominates modern smartphones.
Just been informed that "/e/OS is a complete "deGoogled", mobile ecosystem" is currently trending on HackerNews https://news.ycombinator.com/news

Elixir!
It's been in the air for a while: we're thinking about releasing the /e/OS browser to PC plateforms.
/e/OS browser is basically a degoogled version of Chromium, with privacy patches from ungoogled Chromium, Bromite and Cromite & specific settings. it's fast, efficient with no BS.
So here is "Elixir" aka /e/OS Browser for PC, here with first test builds for Linux and MacOS.
Not perfect yet, but we'd like to undertand if that can be useful for some

I'd like to make our networks aware that our accounts at /e/OS, Murena and I are full of followers in ambush, coming from the "nice project" that's been doing daily shitstorms about /e/OS for year. They use our posts as opportunities to denigrate and attack us all the time. What they do is profoundly unfair and disgusting. They will keep this for their souls and will think about it every night just before switching off the light — and in the end, they are only playing against themselves.
See how /e/OS protects my device from tracking attempts!
Why mobile apps trackers are one of the most impactful threats regarding your privacy and your freedom: read our Privacy Guide at https://e.foundation/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/murena_white_paper_privacy.pdf
I'd like to state *very clearly* that Murena and e Foundation are not related in case to this ridiculous and pseudo-drama.
What we seek is to totally ignore these guys, and have nothing to do with them.
And again, and again, despite what they are repeating, we are NOT competitors, as we are not in the hardened-security market spaces.
A little bit of teasing... Who did I just spend 90 minutes talking with about tech? 🙂 🚧
To Murena Fairphone users, did you know? 🤔
You can easily enable the Fairphone camera on your /e/OS launcher! 📷
Go to: Settings->Apps->Fairphone Camera + restart
And enjoy a better camera experience and picture quality! 🖼️

⚠️⚠️⚠️With "Web Environment Integrity", Google wants to privatize the web.
Results:
- web pages w/copyrighted content won't be accessible anymore with non-Chrome web browsers
- users' web activity will be fully tracked
Let's fight HARD against this! 💪
