Your data is YOUR data!
An iPhone or an Android smartphone collects several megabytes of your personal data every day to Google Servers, even when it is inactive.
Murena smartphones have been designed to offer a different approach to users who care about privacy and data-hungry handsets.
Those smartphones are running the open-source “/e/OS” operating system, which is fully “deGoogled”: by default it doesn’t send any data to Google and it’s been designed to offer a great and natural user experience.
/e/OS is paired with carefully selected applications. They form a privacy-enabled internal system for your Murena smartphone. And it’s not just claims: open-source means auditable privacy.
Is that bad? I am trying out Organic maps now, but was usong Magic Earth before.
Its proprietary
Oh sweet summer child…
That’s by far not the only proprietary component in that or any phone.
True but we should minimize the about of proprietary software with the hopes one day we can eliminate it.
I hear there are some completely libre phones now but they only support 3G
Working proprietary software that respects your privacy is better than not-quite working FOSS IMHO, especially in an OS targeted at regular folks rather than exclusively at nerds like us.
