You may also want to check out Murena. I have a fai-phone 5 with thier E/OS on it, I'm very happy with it, and 100% google-free.

Those were the BEST! Many fond memories, thanks for that flashback.
They estimated the production cost at 250 USD, so I imagine the kickstarter price will be starting around 300. But that's just a guess.

there are going to be accessories like a keyboard, etc., so it should quite adapable in that regard.

Their own website has a bit more info, including a demo video of it running debian. The primary focus of the project is the hardware itself, but the rasberry pi base means that there is a giant pool of available software already out there.
Imo she's not. But the Republican party is just a more blatant tool of the ultra-rich. They are the real enemy.
She would've lost a ton of campaign funding if she did. It's not that simple. Millionaire/billionaire interests also have a huge influence on the democratic party.
If you want to blame someone, blame the ultra-rich. They are the ones that have eroded democracy.
It's not satire, they are purchasing it for real.
I made a new account recently, I used to be on Lemmy.world, but as I start to learned more about how the fediverse works, I wanted to get away from the giant main instance, help spread the users out.
Perhaps there is a way to transfer some account history? I didn't find any, so now I'm a Fediverse baby again.
It's my only social media. I have Voyager, and it's all I need. I never used FB or Twitter, or anything other than Reddit. And I'm done with that cesspool.
I certianly agree with your concern in principle, but I also think that not all corporations are evil by default. It's important to be sceptical, but in my experience the e/OS is extremely privacy and user focused.
They partner with fairphone, they support some older hardware (etc. Samsung galaxy S7), and they have an installer app and installation intructions complete with the OS files freely available.
You even do not have to use a murena account to use the phone at all. If you perfer, you can get your apps 100% from APKs & F-Droid, and Murena doesn't know you exist.
For me that's enough.
