Riding on a wave of nostalgia, took out my #Jolla 1s and #JollaC (running various versions of #SailfishOS 2.x), performed factory resets, and updated all of them to the latest #Sailfish3. Took several hours, but they now feel like brand new devices. I miss the smaller screens!

@cybette
I like it that your nostalgic Jolla C is from the same year as my current phone. 😁

But I hear ya' about the smaller screen sizes. I'd kill for a decent 4" phone.

@SlowRain

do you still get updates on your current phone? most provide 2-3 years, up to 4 if you're lucky. even then, sometimes only security patches towards the end, and no major OS upgrades. I think most phones can last much longer with updates, but of course phone companies wouldn't do that as they wouldn't be able to sell more phones.

@cybette
No, I only had updates for 2 years. Security updates would be nice, but there's nothing new in Android that would be useful to me. I bet I could get by just fine with something still running Lollipop.

@SlowRain @cybette its why it's best to use Alternative OSes such as ones on pinephone or Librem 5 sailfish OS etc

@jameshjacksonjr @cybette
True. But I'm not sure what phones running Sailfish OS, for example, are available here in Taiwan. The Taiwanese, in general, aren't overly concerned about privacy or market dominance. There is almost no talk here about Facebook, Apple, & Google's ethics. In this environment, it's hard for alternative OSes to get a foothold.

@SlowRain @cybette you can look online there are lots of ports for various de vices as well as official devices sony devices one can choose from.
