This is the basic mechanism to for complexity to unfold: adversarial arms race.
How parasites expand the computational landscape of life
by Luís Seoane and Ricard Solé

"host-parasite co-evolution can ignite an explosive race of increasing complexity ..."
Biology as information warfare.
Example:
Virus using another genetic alphabet as camouflage.

Cryptographic Nature
by David Krakauer, 2015
„… various forms of regularized randomness, historically encrypt adaptive dynamics.“
Facts don‘t change our minds. Friendship does.
@muppeth It is much more than an OS. It is a complete ecosystem. You can buy phones off the shelf running it.
@muppeth why should they access Google Play at all? they have replicated all infrastructure, e.cloud services including an app store.
@muppeth what is microG?
@muppeth /e/ is completely plugged off from Google. It offers a viable alternative now, even for people who lack the skill to do stuff themselves. But I see your point and the value of your effort.
@muppeth Why dismiss the Android OSS part? I am quite happy with initiatives like /e/OS. There will be no scale without competitive commercial products.

I will have to wait 4 weeks to get it, then I have to put on the new ROM. Will be likely used by my daughter.
As soon as I have collected some experience, I will post it.
@duncanhart
Looks good - love the physical switches. I discovered a bargain option and got a new Siemens phone with similar specs at amazon.de for about USD 140 = EUR 115, which is ready for /e/OS.
@duncanhart Neither me. But ignoring it is not helpful either. I won't get rid of my business phone, but I will test drive alternatives on personal family devices. It is not so much a problem on a personal, but it is not a good development on societal level. The asymmetry of information is too big.
Why is leaving the Google and Apple mobile ecosystem a thing?
Because, even if you opt out of whatever the OS offers, you are still leaking data to them at an unacceptable rate.

A new review of /e/OS at @itsfoss !

An efficient and tracking free advertising is possible!
For that, we will have to do without cookies, but also without the "FLoC" introduced by Google... Learn more about Qwant's position on #FLoC on #betterweb https://betterweb.qwant.com/en/the-floc-comes-into-our-private-lives-without-knocking-on-the-door/
Here is a guide how to get rid of it:
