Ending this year

gollark: Seems reasonable. It is kind of annoying that there aren't any phones which have hardware keyboards *and* reasonably customizable software, though.
gollark: The internal M.2 slot functionality *is* pretty nice, though, I must say.
gollark: Having options is probably a good thing, but Librem seems more focused on a full FOSSy ecosystem for communication and whatnot rather than just hardware like PinePhone.
gollark: Is there a plan for a transparent back cover? It might be cool to be able to see the insides.
gollark: The mobile reddit site seems to crash and break randomly for me. I have got to find an alternative some time.
