I'm in the market for a new smartphone, as my Motorola One Vision from 6 years ago is getting long in the tooth (cracked screen, < 12hr battery). Requirements: Android, 128GB storage space minimum, dual sim (both physical), decent camera, “as stock as possible” (no/minimal unwanted shitty pre installed apps I can't remove).
Preferred price range: 200€ to 300€.

FWIW I do plan on getting this one repaired (battery and screen replaced), but I need to have a functional one available both while this is under repairs and in case the repairs go wrong.

@oblomov I suspect it might be out of your price range, but I use a Fairphone 5. Fairphone 4 might be usable for you - there's plenty on the secondhand market. Repairable, fixable - even the battery is replaceable by just unclipping the back cover and pulling it out. Online repair guides and spare parts on the manufacturer's website. There are others like this from other manufacturers, I gather. My one has the latest Android, but no Google account on it (use Fdroid and Aurora store for updates).

@UkeleleEric I'm afraid I need the Google crapola (for banking and digital signature stuff)

@oblomov Saw a test in a paper magazine about budget phones and this one https://www.gsmarena.com/motorola_edge_50_neo-13224.php was their winner. Seems to tick at least some of your checkboxes.

@regendans oh that's an interesting one, quite comparable with my current one, better in some other. From the specs it would seem that the lack of a 3.5mm jack would be the only big annoyance.

@oblomov it takes 1 physical SIM and 1eSIM.

@UkeleleEric yeah, I should have clarified that I'd need it to take 2 physical SIMs.

British Museum removes the term #Palestine from certain Middle East exhibits
The museum told The Jerusalem Post that the term Palestine no longer holds a neutral designation and may be understood in reference to political territory.

Oh, no. They still use autotune in the 23rd century. Hate it.
I once liked goofy musical episodes, but autotune has ruined that for me. Let me hear them struggle a little. They're actors, it's OK if they're a little pitchy.

I dumped tea on my keyboard a little bit ago...and, the "2", "w", and "s" keys broke. I congratulated myself on having spare switches on-hand. Turns out, it isn't the switches...gonna leave it to dry for a bit more and hope for the best.

@eff It doesn't work for small websites that are registered in US states without strong anti-SLAPP laws and who don't have enough funds to hire a lawyer. Case in point: RationalWiki, censored by an out-of-court settlement with eugenics activists.
