Do you have any alternatives that are better?

[–] outandinburger@ttrpg.network 7 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

No, the options are crap is what I’m saying. I really want Motorola to hurry up with that GrapheneOS phone.

[–] mbirth@lemmy.ml 3 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

You do realise that GrapheneOS is based on AOSP which is still mostly under control of Google?

one of the biggest problems is the gatekeeping role that Google plays with AOSP. No patches that the company dislikes get into AOSP, regardless of what a wider community might think of them.

I’ve given up Android some years ago. Had a brief time with a BlackBerry and am now enjoying the comforts of the Apple ecosystem. But I’m contemplating going the dumb phone + Palm Pilot (or Psion) route. That being said, that FLX1s seems very interesting…

I’m holding out for a rotary phone comeback.

Look no further my friend because the team @Deftworks is developing a Rotary Mobile™ as we speak. Feature rich all inclusive lightweight mobile products.

You say no and then mention you’re waiting for an alternative that’s coming so yes then?

[–] outandinburger@ttrpg.network 4 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

No, because it hasn’t been released.

You okay? You need a hug? Some dopamine? Maybe a pancake? You’ll be okay bud.

Listen. I know you're talking to me here, but I could use those things...

[–] outandinburger@ttrpg.network 1 points 4 hours ago

It’s my wishlist too, babe. 💋

[–] Luci@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 hours ago (1 children)
