To reiterate, what I want out of a phone:

- Headphone jack
- Square corners on screen, no rounded edges
- No holes in screen
- Smol like my hands
- Ability to install and distribute my own software
- Ability to turn off anything that bugs me
- Ability, when reading ebooks, to silence visual "noise" like clocks or navbars
- I want to neither monetarily nor in platform political power support a company that sells "AI"-branded features as part of their business activities

Attached: 1 image So I went into my work Google account and disabled Gemini features. Now *every time* I open Google Drive, I get this big modal I have to dismiss. This is worse.

@mcc This all sounds good to me. One thing I sometimes think about, related to this, is: ability to not have a camera pointed at my face and my surroundings at all times, and ability to know my mic is not active.
