  • The LinkedIn-styled writing here is hard for me to get through, but I think the general gist is that for profit platforms are easier to onboard which I agree with. This line stands out:

    And what do we get in return? A worse experience than cloud-based services.

    I have to disagree somewhat, it’s a different experience that is absolutely more difficult in many ways, but for those of us who value privacy, control over our data, and don’t like ads, the trade-off is worth it. Also it goes without saying that the usability of selfhosted apps has exploded in the past few years and it will likely become less and less of an issue.












  • Been really interested in this and/or the Light Phone! I’m curious if your plan is to use it as a full-time daily driver? Or an occasional “I want to disconnect right now” thing?

    I really wish carriers made it easy to swap where your phone number is pointed because I would love one of these for weekend/evening use. But I’m pretty intimidated to switch full time.

    Would also love to see a follow up in a few months to see if you found it sustainable.
