From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Linux-based phone still ‘runs 99% of Android apps’ so you can do more with it, if you wish.

WhatsApp isn't a social media app?

They didn't mention battery life once, and it doesn't even have a torch?

[–] PCurd@feddit.uk 6 points 1 month ago

In the FAQs they suggest they don’t know battery life yet because it’s not finished - but indicate “several days” in standby

there is android flip phones actualy?

[–] spicehoarder@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 month ago

I have little hope that the feel of the case and buttons will be anywhere close to what the price would demand.

The first flip phone with WhatsApp since the unfortunate demise of KaiOS devices. Sailfish probably has much higher system requirements, hence the price. Great to have an alternative though!

Well, looks like someone made a Jack Tramiel based LLM and let it hallucinate.

How could this idea come to mind.. Surely that's great, but who in the team said "Give me a price! 500!! Approved!"

My mainphone is currently Nokia C2-01 which I got for free. It's perfectly enough for me. But damn that thing looks good..
