There are many Android based OS for phones. Graphene is a privacy focused Open Source OS which already fills the niche Apostrophy supposedly does. https://grapheneos.org/

I think they may be talking about the "discount" tracker cards. The ones which you fill out an application to get, so you can get the special "discount" (really what the price used to be).

The real fdroid is not malware. Did you get it from f-droid.org?

The vendor's software may be spyware and not like you using something other than the stock keyboard. Though it may just be poorly written software which conflicts. Could be many things.

It looks like it is powered by a microcontroller. Maybe it isn't powerful enough to support epub?

Any good substites on FDroid? Specifically SMS and file manager?

A second USB port or headphone jack adds $1(US) to the manufacturing cost, if even that. Can't cut into the corporation's massive profits by even a little. Nope, can't have that.

This seems to be the reason why I don't use Amazon very much anymore. Almost every time I search for something, most, if not all, of the results have nothing to do with what I wanted. I can't be the only one who has stopped using them because of this.

Anyone have better recommendations for online shopping?

Java isn't an interpreted language any more than C. Java gets compiled into its own machine code developed by Sun. That machine code can be converted to native code or just run "interpreted." (which is more like emulation.)

Maybe you should learn more about something before you criticize it.

This was started over two decades ago, but never came about because the copyright cartel destroyed it. It was called peer to peer (p2p) tech.

The cartel even tried to pass laws which would allow them to control what media you could have on your computer. (The SSSCA and later CBDTPA) This is where the term Digital Rights Management came from.

AntennaPod allows streaming podcasts. I don't think it shows that option by default though. You have to view the individual podcast or change the default in the settings for streaming.

It isn't very accurate. I live in Idaho, and my phone's geoip shows up all over the United States. Currently it says Utah, last time I checked.
