I use one handed mode on my phone all the time because the damn thing is so fucking big. I can’t even reach the toolbar with my baby hands. I had no choice but to buy this one cause it was the only one with decent battery in my price range. If I didn’t have a purse it’d be impossible to carry it’s like a brick in my pocket. It strains my wrist a little from it’s sheer weight. Wtf is going on

      At least half of raspberry pi projects would be more easily accomplished by one of the phones kicking around in your junk drawer. If the bootloaders and hardware were fully open, making a linux distro run on them would be trivial. This would save thousands of phones from the landfill by repurposeing them as alarm clocks, thermostats, webcams, smarthome ___, and so on. They even come with a built in touchscreen and battery, which ras-pis don’t!

      The only cost to the company is open sourcing some software and internal documentation at end of life. My fingers are crossed the EU might do this but I doubt they will.
