Transgendered Activists Shut Down Open Source DNA Project

Open source software for building communities

These guys are no good. They aren't involved in the actual development of any of these projects and, yet, have an outsized amount of control over them. This is how freenode was hurt in the past and this disease continues to plague the open source community.

Following is a short how to for /e/OS Easy : Buy a new phone with /e/OS pre-installed. Super easy, but its not free. Murena has you covered : https://murena.com/ Harder : Use the «easy installer» to guide you. https://e.foundation/installer/ Its a web-app (application in your browser Edge, Opera, Chromium, Chrome and brave browsers only) It will check if your phone is compatible and install /e/OS on it. Hardest: Not only for geeks but beware if you are a novice or ask your friendly local hacker community/computer repair tech that has Linux :) as his/her daily driver. Manually check if your phone is compatible here : https://doc.e.foundation/devices Unlock the boot-loader. Each make has there own way of doing this so use https://search.brave.com/ or https://inv.nadeko.net/ (alternative YT front-end) to understand the process. Then download and flash the files needed to swap out your original android for /e/OS Side-note : /e/OS has a standard camera app that might be disappointing so alternatively install Gcam from following site : https://gcamapk.io/download-gcam-apk/ I use agc 9.6.19 Hope this helps

😅 this like other deGoogle iptions sounds great, but... can yall walk us non technical folks through like step by step as would be teaching a child?

Hiw woukd you rate e/os versus GrapheneOS?

That makes zero sense to shut down something that big that handles 23andMe data and connects people with matching genetic data. It's crab mentality.  [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crab_mentality](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crab_mentality) but at the same time I ask myself would I really want people like that running something where people can connect and message each other over their own DNA, the physical aspects of what makes them human? I don't think so.  When these people use these resources and websites they're looking for answers about themselves and where they come from, they're seeking something, and then goons go and shut it down with their mob mentality to ruin it for everybody without fear or consequence to other people's lives. Toxic.
