Privacy-respecting cell phone. Recommendations?
I'm okay with a dumb phone but it's not a requirement. E-ink curious, but also not a requirement.
On my current Android phone--an old Pixel--I tend to use:
* phone,
* text (Signal mostly),
* camera (infrequently, but nice if it's an option), and
* internet search would cover almost everything else (e.g., weather app, Latin dictionary, etc.)My service is currently on Google Fi, but would be happy to change for similar rates.

@michaelc Check out @GrapheneOS there probably isn't anything more private and secure than that. At the moment only supported on Pixel devices and I'm sure the developers could speak at depth in length as to why.
Also check out https://www.privacyguides.org/en/tools/ for more recommendations.
Can't really go wrong with those two starting points.

@michaelc also, I wouldn't use a dumb phone for many reasons but the overwhelming reason is definitely a lack of an ability to load any encrypted messaging apps like Signal on it.

@stefano The people who demand moar powerrrr really need to drop their current workstation for a 266MHz Pentium 2 with 32MB RAM and a 5400 RPM hard drive.
That will force them to design better code. Or pick a different career field altogether. 🤣

I'm feeling FOMO for SFSCON this week and TPAC next week.
One thing about being part of the Fediverse movement is that I have a lot of confidence in friends and colleagues who will be on the ground doing good work.
Thanks for everything you do, ActivityPub allies.

you, smug: "oh you like $thing? how cute! if you're lucky you'll realize $other_thing is better"
no one: "oh you sound like a pleasant person to be around! please tell me about $other_thing"

wish more people realized that smugness makes for poor tech evangelism

@alice thanks for making the Fediverse a better place.
