This is wild because I had never heard of this news anywhere. R.I.P. DivestOS, my favorite mobile OS. Anyone know of a project with a similiar goal of deblobbing android?

      I posted this comment elsewhere:

      In case anyone is curious as to why, here’s a direct quote from them (Tavi) in Fairphone forum:

      As mentioned, it is the 10 year anniversary. That is a long time and I need to move onto other projects in life.

      They also have this for those looking to replace Mull: https://divestos.org/pages/browsers

        Oh good. I was hoping it was a “moving on” reason, as opposed to a catastrophic one. Thanks for settling my nerves lol

        That’s so cute! I work with an OS release from 2002. Like, the OS has been around, and we’re just working with Major Version 10, until it life-cycles out at age 27, when we’re on just v11 (11.4 today).

        Maybe there’ll be a v12, maybe it’s not for another 27 years and I’ll be dead. Who knows?
