Three months without a #smartphone, or indeed a #phone of any kind, is unfortunately about to end upon the post delivery today. I caved in due to the "digital pariah" effect, aka the "how can you survive without a phone you weirdo" effect. (In actuality, living rurally and not driving, I need to have some kind of emergency communication ability - kids, health issues, snakes, a wild variety of potential mishaps etc). I really wanted to get a #LinuxPhone like a #PinePhone but battery life is still iffy (see emergency requirements above), and the camera is crap, which, other than the roughly one text message I receive every six months, is the only reason a slightly decent phone is worth having. So, a second hand Pixel has been aquired, and slapping #GrapheneOS on it is the plan.
