gollark: I avoid this by running LineageOS on my device.
gollark: LB?
gollark: I had a Wileyfox Swift with that (dead because of the USB port thing), but they're no longer sold and I don't think replacement parts exist either.
gollark: Hmm, I think I actually know someone with one of those still.
gollark: Does anyone know of phones with removable batteries (and good availability of said batteries), no notch, an LCD (not OLED) screen, a μSD card slot, decent battery life, and some custom ROM support, which is still produced or fairly available used? Do any even exist now?!
