    Can someone please come out with a phone that’s an actual computer and help stop this nonsense?

    Phones cost a lot of money at this point and I’m completely sick of them being some locked down, surveillance ridden pile of crap. A reasonably built one would be able to replace a laptop at this point if it weren’t for these artificial constraints imposed by the stupid fucking suits running things.

      Battery life is limited by cell modem drivers being closed source and having to be reverse engineered.

      I have been looking into an alternate hybrid radio device using Reticulum. Though with that comes a new less convenient user experience for a lot of apps.
