apparently the rubber/tpu case for my old sony xperia z1 compact (I think?) completely went moldy somehow? I saw it when I was going through some old stuff, removed it right away, though it kinda leav

it's not just the outside either, the whole thing is thoroughly infected with.. something, but unsure what.

speaking of phones, it's still absurd to me how smol the nokia feature phones were compared to the modern smartphone. we need more of that again. including the physical buttons tbh, that shit was peak

I wish there were more daring Android/Linux phones again instead of boring "iphone but different" takes.
Give me something with
- a physical keyboard, slidey if you can manage it
- 2007 nokia profile/size
- maybe some older Snapdragon SOC that has full mainline kernel opensource support
or do something quirky to it, like dualbooting Android and Debian or whatever, or having some secondary USB-C connector that you can plug Framework-style modules into, so you can swap the camera out for example
