@zak The battery life is fantastic. I typically go 2-3 days between charges. @Luigi311 wrote a review with a more formal testing and gave it a 5/5 on battery. https://blog-d.luigi311.com/furilabs-flx1/
@fesshole Never Eat Soggy Waffles is what works for me.
Happy Bloomsday! Enjoy your grilled mutton kidneys. As always, if you’ve ever bounced off the book then I can’t recommend the 1982 RTÉ full-cast, unabridged performance of the text enough. It’s so good. It brings out the musical and literally multi-vocal character of the novel so beautifully.
If there's anything that illustrated the hollowness of the Democratic Party as an effective opposition for me, it's this.
Yesterday, I watched a video of a sitting US Senator being thrown to the ground and cuffed by fed goons for asking questions of the fed official he has direct oversight authority over.
Within minutes, I'd gotten DOZENS of texts from Dems and Dem orgs asking for $5-$50 to "fight fascism."
That's it. "Are you terrified that your country is slipping into fascism? Pay me."
@zak I have similarly basic phone needs. And have been daily driving the linux phone FLX1 from FuriLabs for the last few months. And it basically meets the needs you mention. In the US they only support T-Mobile.

A while ago I learned that Balatro is made in a fun game engine called #love2d, which turns out to be quite the cross-platform beast.
This of course meant I had no choice but to run it on my #linuxmobile phone running #postmarketos and #plasmamobile
Runs at a locked 60fps on my OnePlus 6T and plays really well besides needing some persuasion to accept screen rotation!
No movie magic, no translation layers, no virtual machines.
