Indoor clean farms are pesticide free. Currently only economical for some crops, of course, but likely a good option in the long run for sustainable food production in general without using up all our land.

I imagine it might be possible to fully spoof another phone model for specific apps. Seems like the kind of thing that should be technically possible by copying cryptographic keys from other devices, and then using root system access to spoof "correct" responses from the Android APIs.

I also imagine this will be an important feature for a lot of users, so someone is likely going to do the work to get it working if Linux phones become (otherwise) viable Android phone replacements.

But all this is just speculation!

Sweet. I'm even more tired of Google's shit than Microsoft's. Apple's locked down ecosystem is even worse, though, so here I am.

I'd love for this to be my last ever Android phone, but I need some apps for work. (And I'd prefer being able to play some mobile-OS-exclusive games, but that's not a dealbreaker.)

A proper open-source phone that works as a phone reliably (on bands the only reliable carrier in my part of Canada uses), can run my short list of must-have apps, and that can take decent photos (doesn't even need to be great)... That's the dream, right?

I mis-click Google apps almost daily. It's the stupidest fucking icon design.
