Funny how much longer my phone's battery lasts now after I flashed /e/ to it. No constant net traffic anymore.
What is /e/?
Sorry. It's a bit offtopic but in the same mission. /e/ is French AOSP fork, which cuts off Google from my phone. Google, Microsoft and META are the biggest root of evil in privacy world, META being worst.
