TLDR:

Making your kids go without smartphones could be difficult because their friends will most likely have phones and will most likely leave your kid out of events and conversations.

Get your child a pinephone. They’ll have basic functionality (most of the time) without the tendrils of proprietary surveillance capitalism apps. When things do go wrong, they’ll learn the skills to fix them.

Based on my paltry research into the pinecone over the last hour I would say it’s actually worth getting the flagship phone and encouraging the use of Ubuntu touch… still looks like it has good potential but isn’t quite there yet

I thought you wrote a pineapple and was wondering if you had ever used a phone
