Life in the avantgarde lane. Behold, an article about the ongoing, everyday use of the /e/OS de-Googled Android operating system, using Fairphone 6 as the test device, including significant complications related to app management due to mixed proprietary and open-source backend stores and software authenticity opaqueness, examples with VLC and Proton Authenticator, issues with a first-use SIM setup, issues with Telegram and WhatsApp setups, no phone connectivity with 2G disabled, camera all-files permission problem, BlissWeather glitches and limitations, security and privacy implications of various settings and tweaks, and more. Have fun.
