What Hacker News says?
> We decided to adopt “/e/” as a textual representation for the symbol of “my data is MY data” Discussion appears to be here: https://www.indidea.org/gael/blog/leaving-apple-and-google-e... I appreciate the reason for the name change, but if the goal is to target laypeople, /e/ is not obviously pronounceable or meaningful for my mom or kids/teens.

HN discussion> I wish the article was a little more technically competent. It leaves out a lot of other important projects in this space like PinePhone, LineageOS, and even the proprietary alternative of Sailfish. The article, submitted by u/indidea (Gael Duval) [0], sounds like a PR piece for eelo aka https://e.foundation/ which was subject to controversy not long ago [1]. Both https://grapheneos.org/ and https://lineageos.org/…
