made a blog post about giving my dad a smartphone flashed with lineageOS and everything removed and how it's the perfect "dumb" phone

@decryption Wait so just to confirm... LineageOS on an S10 is going to be okay with VoLTE? I'm having a minor panic that I might have to buy a crappy new phone with no 3.5mm audio port so it can still make calls.

@greg yes but make sure you activate VoLTE on the stock firmware first before putting LineageOS on it

@decryption I can't remember if I did but that is reassuring that worst case scenario I can reinstall everything and maybe get it working.

@decryption Almost exactly what I run but for myself because why would I want a pocket distraction machine harrassing and snatching my attention constantly?

@greg honestly I’m pretty close to doing something similar myself, but maybe with a few more apps

greg,
@greg@aus.social avatar

@decryption Yeah I have some more apps but I get to choose exactly which ones and let me tell you it's not many.

@decryption This is genius

> Can remove the built-in web browser, so there’s no way they can access random websites, even if sent in an SMS - harder to get phished

@gurgle also means they can’t be tricked into visiting a website - the phone literally doesn’t have one
