take the chance to get a dumbphone and be free. go on amazon and get whatever nokia. you dont need a smartphone, you've just been conditioned into believing that you do by tech corporations.

so a phone that does everything it needs to do? lmao
be honest with yourself, how often do you find internet access on your phone useful? the few legit uses a smartphone has can actually be accomplished by different devices.

SMSs are a thing

your car most likely has something like that already. if it doesnt, you can buy one.
but you are free to keep being a slave nigger cattle for tech corporations if thats what youre into i guess

Look into the supported devices if you care about not being creeped on. You can have both your self-respect and the convenience of a cellular phone it just takes extra effort but you won't have the (((modern))) broken zoomer product.

>every single device thats supported by the ONLY fully free android fork, has neither hardware acceleration, nor respects your freedom outside of the OS.
every single one of those devices has proprietary bootloaders, firmwares, and other malware embedded on the hardware, or on the flash chip, not being replaced by whatever ROM you flash.
phones will NEVER be free, and modems are required to be proprietary BY LAW in half of the world.
even those "loonix" (GNU or busybox) phones require pooprietary shitware. the pinephone has proprietary trash in the modem (bootloader and firmware, you can only replace the modem FIRMWARE but not the bootloader.), wifi firmware, BT firmware, wifi drivers (in your kernel), and bt drivers (in your kernel too), and optional drivers for the camera.
the overpriced librem meme phones have the same problems but AT LEAST dont have the proprietary malware in the kernel. they moved it onto the hardware itself, which is even worse if you ask me...
if you want freedom, install libreboot (aka trannyboot), https://libreboot.org
go check out hardware compatibility (not great) https://libreboot.org/docs/hardware/ and buy an old thinkpad or a less-old server board and turn it into a workstation.

lol i've just checked if i could install libreboot on my thinkpad and it turns out that the last models compatible with it were the X200 and the T400, both being core2duo machines
nobody is ever going to use that in current year
>whats a dumbphone
think of nokia phones, or any phone before the first iphone (kinda)

>core2duo
ackchyualley...
you can throw a quad core CPU into a T400/T500/W500, or an X200 if you are very good at soldering.
all you have to do is break off 5 CPU pins (or somehow isolate them from the socket), and solder a small wire on the other side of the CPU socket.
there are guides on how to do that, look up "thinkpad T500 quad core mod" on jewtube for example.
>muh current year
im using a T60 as my daily driver you fucking nigger monkey. its far more than enough for everything except "muh gaymes!1!" and "muh JS cuck webshit bloat malware!!1!"
i dont WANT any of that shit in the first place.
>>4029
that merely means the thing itself is fully free.
it does NOT mean that it runs on fully free hardware.
the same goes for FSF endorsed GNU distros like parabola guix hyperbola or trisquel.
they have a strict no-malware policy, but will run on machines with a proprietary firmware/bios anyways, because thats not part of the operating system.

if you run parabola/another fully free distro you mean?
sure you COULD do that if you really wanted to, but those distros wont have them in their repos, or parabola for example has malware from the arch repos blacklisted, asking you to uninstall 'your-freedom' in order to install anything proprietary so you dont do anything bad on accident.
also fuck NOVIDEO, AMD isnt much better either.
AMD cards cant do 3d without blobs, NOVIDEO cards cant do overclocking without blobs, and some cards cant do hardware acceleration without them either.

>jetbrains IDE
my IDE is emacs you fucking retard.
my whole operating system is systemd+emacs+GNU+linux-libre ackchyualley
and yes i do all my work on it.
the only thing i use my server (KCMA-D8 board with 16 CPU cores and 64 gigs ECC ram) for is crypto mining, sneeding torrents, and compiling large source trees.
if something can run doom, it can run an IDE as well, and a T60 can run doom.
