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. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] spicehoarder@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 year ago I would carry around a flip phone if my work didn't require Passkeys generated exclusively from MS Authenticator. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Retro_unlimited@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago I just put stickers on the selfie camera. permalink fedilink source parent [–] mesamunefire@piefed.social [S] 13 points 1 year ago Neat! And a removable battery. Debian too! Always liked me some Debian, super stable. permalink fedilink source parent [–] ICastFist@programming.dev 11 points 1 year ago 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" permalink fedilink source parent [–] pool_spray_098@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago 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. permalink fedilink source parent [–] BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 year ago* (1 child) 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. And the last time I tried just a custom ROM, those apps refused to run. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] seralth@lemmy.world 1 point 1 year ago 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. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Victoriathecompact@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago is this legit? permalink fedilink source parent
