I'm also using the #Librem5 as my daily, primary phone for nearly three years now. The software keeps improving. I really like to have full control over my phone. And that the software is designed to give the user freedom and power.

Hopefully, some European company is working on a Phone and OS to replace the USA systems.
We do NOT want their Google or Apple stuff in this situation. The USA controls those companies, therefore they control your communication ability.
They could easily shut it down.
We have more than enough tech geniuses here - tell me someone is working on this?
Some version of Linux Mint, or Tiny Linux, or similar? I would buy it in a heartbeat.

"If you leave your #phone at home, that is probably the safest your data will get, and you will be at very low risk of being tracked by #massSurveillance tools."
Also, you would not accidently (?) be part of the #surveillance machine by filming other people (probably without their consent).

Turns out my Samsung needs to be 8 inches away what the fuck... A whole dick length at all times.
Like not in my hands.
"If your device supports the wireless charging or power sharing functions, this equipment should be operated with a minimum distance of 20 cm (8 in.) between the device and your body."
Disgusting that it's not a selling point that your health is at risk for using. Read the fine print if you want to live.

I don’t know if it’s still there today. In the age of mobile phones, the owner of the drinks stand next to it has probably also had to rethink his business.
btw if you ever looked for a super convenient way to synchronize/backup data from pc to phone (even with multiple users)
use https://syncthing.net/ !
its the best software, i know. screw dropbox, google, etc. this thing just passively synchronices all files you want with your pc.
