The new Linux phone from Jolla & its benefits? ⛵ :linux:
◉Sailfish OS - the only independent commercial mobile OS
◉Sailfish is NOT 100% closed source - Jolla plans to open the remaining blobs
◉More "Linuxy" than Android; Qt / Wayland / filesystem
◉Free of Google / Apple
◉Use Android compatibility in case an :android: app is needed
◉Jolla is a Finnish company - 🇫🇮 / 🇮🇸 are considered most trustworthy nations in Europe
I'm still frantically pulling stuff together for taking the #strowger#TelephoneExchange to #emfcamp but rather than actually fix/pack/prepare anything - I've spent the last 3 hours slapping together a video updating the website:
:linux: Jolla | Makers of truly competitive Linux for mobile - NEW PHONE COMING! 🤳
◉Jolla is a small but spicy company on a field of relentless competition
◉Due this - Sailfish OS moves to a subscription model (but it's just 5€ / month)
◉New budget phone comes with 2 ARM Cortex-A75 CPU / 6 Cortex-A55 cores
◉8GB of RAM / 128gt space / 4,000 mAh bat
◉Pre order for €299 (incl. a 1-yr sub) & Jolla takes €50 deposit
All these #news stories about #ChatGPT being put into #Apple products makes me want to switch over to a feature #phone. 😣 I just want to get away from #AI 😩 :phone: :blobcatangry:
When I bought my last #smartphone in 2019, I got a case for it, not realizing it already came with one.
I simply decided to use the "official" case with it and keep the extra as a backup "just in case".
Last year I finally got fed up with how the first case had yellowed and just didn't look nice anymore. Got my second case on it and I have had that "new phone" feel for months now without spending or buying a new one. I might use that trick for the next phone, too.
