The Trumpster, as usual, has no idea what he’s talking about; I remember, I think it was in one of the debates he was asked about the nuclear triad and he clearly had no idea what it was. Always comforting to know that someone like that has their finger close to the button at all times.

The last time I checked, a Linux smartphone was in the works, but still had quite a ways yet to go . . .

For those of you having trouble getting this on F-Droid, @mp3@piefed.ca says: “Go to Settings > Include Anti-Features and enable Tethered Network Services for it to show up.”
