So, when these Apple devices die (or rather, when the updates have slowed them down enough, and the battery has depleted to the point of not getting through the day - which should be next year or the year after, if the pattern holds)… my next devices will be some of the following, and I’m looking forward to the challenge of getting them to work… any recommendations?

Phone options:
- Pine Phone
- Fair Phone
- Murena
- Librem
- Pro 1x
- Volla Phone
- SageTea XFone

Watches:
- Any of these with AsteroidOS: wiki.asteroidos.org/index.php/
- PineTime
- ZSwatch:
github.com/ZSWatch/ZSWatch

Any suggestions or advice?

The small N900 screen was good, since a resistive-screen stylus controlled all those linux app buttons so easily. No finger-width spacing! The stylus was simple plastic, easy to replace.

I read makers saying they don't want to make room for a stylus, but honestly I would be willing to hold mine on with a rubberband, to get that level of touch-screen control again.

🔌 Two USB-C ports on the Liberux NEXX: more possibilities, more freedom. 📱✨
The #LiberuxNEXX will have two USB-C ports: one at the bottom and one on the side. Why?

➡️ Extended connectivity: charge while using a peripheral or connect multiple accessories.
➡️ Auxiliary add-ons: imagine a dock, an extra battery, or a physical keyboard.
➡️ Flexibility: no matter how you use it, you'll always have an accessible port.

📣 What would you like to connect to the NEXX? We're listening!

The "Mobile Linux"/"Linux Mobile" discussion feels like a rehash of the "Open Source" terminology discussion in the 90's that led to more diverse terms (e.g. FLOSS).

I propose:

#linuxmobile / #mobilelinux as umbrella terms for all efforts at bringing the standard Linux ecosystem to any mobile device (e.g. also tablets)

#linuxphone for a phone running standard Linux ecosystem parts *predominantly* (e.g. allows Android kernels and Halium)

#FLOSSPhone for a phone with no proprietary parts

With #Apple refusing to backdoor advanced encryption (good) in the UK and instead withdraw access to the tool for those in the UK rather than legally fight it (bad), it opens up interesting other implications for countries with well known histories of anti-encryption like Australia and the US.

Time to test how accessible it is to backup files and photos on a
#Linux phone using #postmarketOS and #NextCloud and do a blog write up I guess?
