Great app, though!

I’ve been following this phone for a while, it’s nice to see there is a market out there for this kind of thing. The BlackBerry-esque design does look quite cool, although if I were to use a minimalist smartphone myself I’d probably go for the Mudita Kompakt instead. It’s just a bit more practical for my lifestyle, with the much smaller body, normal on-screen keyboard and de-Googled OS. There’s also another newish one called the Bigme Hibreak Pro which is the most “normal” overall.

can this phone handle those situations too?

It can, the Minimal Phone is not a dumbphone, privacy-focused or even minimalist and that was a conscious choice by the company. It’s just a normal Android smartphone with an e-ink display and a physical keyboard (and a headphone jack). The “Minimal” in the name is referring more to minimalising the phone’s influence on your life, because the e-ink screen is a barrier to so many addictive activities like doom-scrolling and video playback. It is not minimal in features at all and is designed to be able to do all of the important real-world task stuff, should you need it to.

For YouTube I use grayjay for without an account, it works fine for me, and I really like it.

OP is switching to iPhone. Grayjay isn’t available on iOS.

Lumo represents one of many investments Proton will be making before the end of the decade to ensure that Europe stays strong, independent, and technologically sovereign. Because of legal uncertainty around Swiss government proposals to introduce mass surveillance — proposals that have been outlawed in the EU — Proton is moving most of its physical infrastructure out of Switzerland. Lumo will be the first product to move.

This shift represents an investment of over €100 million into the EU proper. While we do not give up the fight for privacy in Switzerland (and will continue to fight proposals that we believe will be extremely damaging to the Swiss economy), Proton is also embracing Europe and helping to develop a sovereign EuroStack for the future of our home continent. Lumo is European, and proudly so, and here to serve everybody who cares about privacy and security worldwide.

Good stuff hidden at the bottom of the article.

I’m sorry but I can’t live in a world without derivative British TV documentaries.

It’s better to read the study rather than the article written about it. The study isn’t much longer, is easy to read (not written at an academic level of English) and has a lot of graphs and images to help convey the key information.

There’s no reason to sign up for DuckDuckGo’s service, since OP already uses Proton (which owns SimpleLogin). It would just be unnecessarily increasing their footprint.

I can’t keep up with all the various instance wars/feuds but they are amusing nonetheless.

The average person thinks Hollywood producers = historians.

and accusations of everyone being a communist / not communist / slightly communist / whatever else seems to get thrown around on Lemmy.

So true lol
