DivestOS is fundraising, no longer sustainable ($12,000 goal)

Donate - Divested Computing

Sharing this because it’s one of the most promising Android projects we recommend on Privacy Guides, and it would be a huge detriment to the Android/Privacy community at large if this developer is no longer able to continue this work :(

Happy New Year!

DivestOS and the Divested projects as they currently stand are ultimately unsustainable.

My goal for 2023 was to acquire a grant to continue my work, I was unsuccessful.

Today I am announcing a fundraiser of raising $12,000 USD by end of February.

It may be a stretch to ask, but I hope you all have found sufficient value in my work to keep these projects going.

If it is unsuccessful I will switch to a full-time job and the Divested projects will take a backseat.

To those who have donated, I truly appreciate your support.

Thank you - Tavi/Tad.

I have used DivestOS on my Pixel 2 for a while now so I donated. Glad to see the fundraising was successful.

These projects are great, and I donated, to be sustainable these need to be group efforts, not a single person’s passion project.
