I gave it a read and right in the first paragraph it looks like this isn't just their reader app, it applies to the entire operating system. Anything on the device. Am I reading that right?
What the fuck nostr:npub1a00wj229auzjswlq4s77y4u8eqdx5k9ppatgl8rtv8va65f6mwksum9q3h ? Are you out of your minds? If you're going to "collect my reading activity and personal notes", at least end-to-end encrypt them and don't harvest them for targeted advertising.
There is absolutely no way I'll be continuing to use you "Reader" software in this context, and you can be sure that if you release a custom OS that has this level of privacy invasion I will not be using it. If that means I can't use the hardware either, then so be it.
This is coming from someone who said the hardware is completely revolutionary and life-changing.

I don't believe so, but I'm not sure. They ship base android for now, as far as I know...? Maybe there is some activity-spying shit on-board though..?
It's a custom OS. If you go to system update, you can find release notes: https://daylightco.notion.site/Daylight-Release-Notes-1040b673e0bf8049bfbaceb234ab523a
So yeah, the whole OS is covered by this garbage privacy policy that collects everything, including your pen strokes. I completely regret buying a DC-1. I already regretted it because I think the hardware feels cheap and the case creaks when I hold it in different positions... a $400 iPad has a better build quality than this. But this is totally unacceptable and I won't be using the device any more.
this is the most important question for me. If it's OS-level spyware then I'm removing my notes app and syncthing from it
I bought a Boox palma 2 and rooted it to install a never-off VPN, and to be able to disect apps I didn't want.
At least the Chinese company doesn't pretend to be freedom tech.
