#DivestOS

There was #DivestOS made for devices that were no longer "in support" but apparently that project got canceled at the start of the year.

My brain is just going crazy that the #USGov is gonna come after me by subpoenaing my data from google, even though I have long since turned all privacy-sharing settings off on my phone.

These older devices may not be the most powerful, but they still can be useful, especially for those without access to better phones.

heute iodé os (#lineageos derivat) auf ein #Fairphone3 geflasht. Mit nötiger Datensicherung und -übertragung ne schwere Geburt, ~4 Stunden Arbeit. Läuft zum Glück gut und flüssig. Entwicklung des zuvor installierten #divestos wurde leider eingestellt. #smartphone #android

Now that is gone and is dead, what are other users using to block spam calls? Strong preference for FOSS.

@visone

Yes, it's the continuation of the Mull browser from the sadly now defunct #DivestOS project.

Seitdem #DivestOS eingestampft wurde, finde ich keinen gescheiten Antivirus mehr via F-Droid. Brauch ich das bei #GrapheneOS nicht?

Holy crap. shutdown?! I wasn't using them directly because I had available on my pixel, but I used and Carion. What are the alternatives now? I see IronFox in Accrescent. Is it comparable?

@feudjais Yeah, I came from #DivestOS where this was a thing and was surprised there's no option in #LineageOS.

Thanks to #ironfox on android. I'm back on #Firefox based browser.
Ironfox is based on #mull by #DivestOS which is now dead.
All the best to ironfox-oss team.
here is the gitlab link

Ah j'avais raté l'info : #DivestOS n'est plus maintenu, il va falloir passer à autre chose.

PSA if you use Mull (the privacy hardened Firefox/Fennec fork) on Android, or any of the other apps maintained by DivestOS: It is now dead. web.archive.org/web/2025011519

There is a fork called IronFox. Unfortunately it is not in the official F-Droid repository, and I don't think they have reproducible builds, either :(

For a long time I've been using Mull browser, the privacy oriented Firefox fork, on my android devices.
But with it being discontinued, I have now switched to its successor: IronFox.

@goblin
Ich werde wohl #google runterschmeißen, indem ich ein #CustomRom raufmache. Mein Idee ist #divestos . Hat jemand damit Erfahrung?

@bins @Julianoe
Pour info, #Mull a cessé d'être maintenu, avec le reste de #DivestOS.

Yes, Tavi ended the project

All tool like #Hypatia and #Carrion will no longer receive database updates.

I hope some group will fork #DivestOS.

We're in 2025 and the only halfway acceptable OS for a popular device designed to handle private data is / was a single-maintainer project.

Society should get its priorities right ...

With #DivestOS' sunset, I finally got around to installing #LineageOS instead. Thought it was a good time to try out some new apps while I'm at it, so also installed #IronFox, #Tusky and #Fossify's Messages (was previously using Mull, Mastodon and AOSP's Messaging apps respectively).
