/e/ OS does a little trolling and sends all your Text to Voice data to OpenAI for processing and Speech generation. (community.e.foundation)

First of all, to anyone downvoting my Comments about /e/ being a piece of shit, because...

they advertise themselves as degoogled, but instead let you connect to Google/Microsoft/etc services
replace all the propriatery not at all Secure Services from Google, with.... Drumroll please.... Propriatery and not at all Secure Services from themselves and actively encourage it.
They are For-profit
and being MORE out of date then even Fairphones stock roms.

... I told you so. Dm your Instance admin, pay them to send the DB entries of your Downvotes on a Thumb drive (or anything else from SSD to 3.5 inchHDD, depending on your preferences), and shove it up your rectum.

But a TL;DR:

/E/ is not Private. They just switch one bad comany to another one.

Check my post history, I often link to Information Rules: A Strategic Guide to the Network Economy by Carl Shapiro and Hal R. Varian that precisely has chapters on lock-in. If you are not aware who Hal Varian is he was Chief Economist at Google. I don't know how much you think you know about "history" but I'm sure you do not know what I did study or not on the topic.

PS: if one day Murena becomes the size of Google or Apple according to pretty much any metric, I'll buy you a bottle of Champagne and kiss your feet to apologize of my naivety. You can archive that post.

Nothing you wrote was a response to what I wrote.

I also don't care what you 'studied'. I lived it. Google and Apple were literally, and this is a quantifiable fact and not an opinion as you seem to be treating it in your response, the 10 person startups that were going against industry behemoths.

Yahoo was, at the time, was a Juggernaut.

I.B.M., at the time, was a Juggernaut.

Just blocked... you don't seem to care for a proper polite conversation so no matter what you know, or think you know, that might make you special is not worth it for me. I don't have any need for toxicity.
