Looking for a new mobile OS (lemmy.ml)

I have been running lineageOS on my OnePlus 2. I liked it, but Lineage has stopped supporting my phone. There are two options that I have been able to find as replacements - postmarketOS and /e/OS. Any thoughts on those or other recommendation? Anything that gets security updates, is open source, and is functional meets my needs.

I would like to point out that the term he used before making the edit was pretty obnoxious and targeted towards Indians

I edited 'usually' into 'often', as far as I remember. I myself can't show the history.

I am an Indian.

Nobody cares. Even if I said 12yo Indians, that'd still be obvious hyperbole and not racism, because I didn't use 'pajeet' or other racist words. I also didn't insinuate that only Indians do this.

It's just like if I said CSGO is full of 16yo German cheaters. Which incidentally is true and ruins the game for many people, including Germans. If you cared about understanding my comment you wouldn't have thought it was racist.

Sorry I didnt notice before that he edited the comment, and unfortunately we dont have any edit history stored in Lemmy. Anyway, when you see a rule violation (eg racism), then you should report it to the admins/mods and have them take care of it. Attacking another user is also a rule violation (rule 2), and is just gonna lead to more trouble.

Edit: also I suggest that both of you stop arguing, because it is not going anywhere. Just accept that you disagree, and ignore each other. @[email protected] @[email protected]

I appreciate that you try to fight against racism and discrimination. That isnt the problem, the problem is how you are doing it. You have to understand, most people in Europe dont hate nonwhite people (except for a small, vocal minority). The racism here is much more subtle than that, and people dont even realize that their beliefs and worldviews are racist. I know because I used to hold such beliefs as well (its almost impossible to avoid because the media really misrepresents things).

I think the best way to fight against this racism is with education. If people in the west could understand how people in the global south are being exploited and oppressed by imperialism, they would change their beliefs. Another thing is that many people view racism as something like person A saying a bad word to person B, but thats only a minor part of it. I would say the main aspect of racism is the economic relationship between imperialist and neocolonial countries (again, exploitation and imperialism).
