You are back with your FUD. I don’t know what you have against /e/OS specifically or if you are genuinely paranoid but in this specific instance you are making stuff up! I clarified in https://lemmy.ml/post/35472063 so maybe a language barrier because the post you linked to was in French but the STT service is
So… that’s not even telemetry, that’s like activating a service which the company explicitly said relied on OpenAI in the first place, people STILL paid for it AND activated it. They can’t be surprised that it’s sending anything to OpenAI then.
Come on, help us make this community better. We have enough problems with BigTech, small tech and more that we do NOT need to invent problems!
PS: also the reasoning about the presence on kill switch is … just plain silly. The PinePhones are running Linux, no Android, no /e/OS/ or whoever actor you might dislikes, OSes built by others, e.g. PmOS, Ubuntu, etc and yet still have hardware kill switches.
You are back with your Spam
This is a Private OS. They should not have this integration, since there are more than enough FOSS alternatives.
Dosent change my point.
Tries. Tries. Tries.
They claim to be private. They incorporate a non private Service even though there are valid alternatives. Thats where this discussion starts and ends.
Graphene literally ships with the play store and services. That’s worse
It does not.
You can install a Sandboxed Version of it, but not more
It being sandboxed doesn’t prevent it from doing whatever the fuck it wants within the confines of the sandbox, and that sandbox has to be pretty wide to be functional.
Like, which is worse:
An os that ships with an opt-in kinda privacy unfriendly locked behind a paywall.
An os that ships google play services, which you need to give all sorts of permissions for apps to function, and requires a google account.
To quote you:
See how that applies to graphene shipping google play services instead of microG?
