  It’s nice, and good to see more of a push. However, I think kill switches for at least microphone and camera should be the new default. It’s absolutely ridiculous to walk around with an internet connected mic and a camera that looks at your face whenever you look at your phone. Personally, I’ll never carry a phone around anymore that doesn’t have mics and cameras desoldered or there’s a kill switch. For the back camera a cover with a slide is fine, but doesn’t really work with the front part.

    I would carry around a flip phone if my work didn’t require Passkeys generated exclusively from MS Authenticator.

  Neat! And a removable battery.

  Debian too! Always liked me some Debian, super stable.

  As long as companies can keep pumping shitty, almost entirely closed off android phones that cost less than 200 dollars for consumers (selling hardware at a loss while making up for data harvesting and sale), “linux mobile” will be just another meme along with “year of the linux desktop”

  Sign me the fuck up!

  The specs look quite decent, and it even has an SD card slot. I really would love to get away from android.

  I want to believe, I really do. But I fear that the crypto apps people have grown dependent on will make it harder than the desktop battle. And IDK but I seem to recall every year since at least 2001 being proclaimed to be the year of the Linux desktop.

  I rely on my banking apps (plural), governmental email app, government authentificator app and the governmental LMS app for public schools to make my everyday function.

    A phone that can’t do NFC payment, banking and authenticator work is not a phone. It’s a pile of shit that’s little more than a toy for children.

    Nothing wrong with toys, but they arnt useable products worth any amount of real money.
