Personal PinePhone Project

An exploration of open source alternatives to IOS and Android

What this project is:

Searching for the perfect open source device, we examine the Pine Phone Beta device.

A way to listen to make calls, listen to music, check maps, look at your messages, enjoy content without the data collection of Facebook, Apple, Nvidia, Google or any of the other Humanistic corporations.

Keep your Android or iPhone in a Faraday bag until it needed for authentication tokens or to order an Uber.

A way to keep certain folks that have come to power in recent years can use your cell phones to geolocate you, unethically and unlawfully when without a warrant, while you are asleep.
