So after I wake up from the dream that google cares about not being evil, I sat down and defined for myself what a phone is. What do I want from that sort of device? I need to send short messages to my family (SMS) and sometimes call them. The device need's to last long so it needs to be rugged and sturdy plus having a good battery life. A good flashlight would be good. I don't take pictures so that doesn't matter. It has to be able to be used as a presentation remote (this one is not as essential need as the others but still fun). So I just bought a dumb phone which has Bluetooth 2 support. and I wrote a script so that the Linux machines listens to incoming files over Bluetooth into the downloads directory and if a file with special name comes it will first remove the file and then perform some action. for example if I share a file named "slide next" from my dumb phone to Linux device it will remove the file and then emulate the "Page Down" key press. the "discoverable" and "pairable" Bluetooth options are off so no one can mess with system. The dumb phone model is "hope k19" it's a Chinese dumb phone. You can't find much information about manufacturer online. I'm sort of happy with it. What sold it out to me was the fact that the phone had a power bank feature so it could be used to charge other phones. Well.... the power bank feature is pretty stupid to sell the phone to stupids like me. The phone can last up to 16 days depending on your use of flashlight (it has a powerful one). Although the phone is not bad, if I went back in time I'd search more to find a more rugged dumb phone. And I'd add waterproof to the wants list.
State that you don't like prying questions. tell them you don't like to talk about yourself. If they asked those types of questions for the second time remind them. if they asked those types of questions for the third time remind them with a stronger tone. and if they asked those questions for the forth time give them a cold look of silence. they may be offended in short term. but in the long you will have more respect.
Well if you do this at least you peaceful stated what you don't like. As for this
they WILL be offended and proceed to furiously talk behind my back and destroy my credibility
they didn't even build your credit in first place to destroy it later. Each person credibility is built by themselves by what deeds they do. and credibility can only be destroyed by one self by doing harmful deeds. plus as you said they talk about meaningless, worthless things so don't focus on what they talk behind you. and where focus goes, energy follows, so focus on learning meaningful things.

Amazing. for me it was plants that inspired me to do daily exercise. Plants are always growing. No goal no nothing. All they think and all they do is growing, getting taller and stronger.

I had always kept my crypto and tokens in a local exchange called Nobitex but I heard that it is not the safest and best way of storing. So may I ask you, where have you had experienced storing your assets? if you ever migrated from one place to another, what was unsatisfying about your previous storage? where are you now?
I'm using KOreader. It can use external fonts. I do not know whether it can sync or not, you have to check that yourself. It also isn't ported to iOS, just linux and android. here are website and github page
