Privacy.
That's one of the biggest allures of #dumbPhones — if you can find decent devices
@ambuj yep that is a total pain 😵
That's why I'm looking forward to #LibreFin, also presenting at #IndiaFOSS2025 which will pave the way towards changing that!

They are not directly related to #KaiOS, but being #FreeSoftware and #OpenSources means we're one step closer to implementing it wherever we want 💸
By the way, what are the other missing features you think are a must before you'd consider using #KaiOS?

I am more into a gnu/linux os with a blackberry like keyboard instead of another embedded os.
Also google is prime member of kaios team so it is going to be rough for privacy in long run.
@ambuj @fossunited fair enough, let me rephrase:
What are the other missing features you think are essential before you'd consider using a keypad based phone?
