Imagine if Block Inc released a Linux phone with physical hardware shutoff switches for the radios and other instruments (cam). Not only would this phone be a dream come true for privacy-conscious individuals, but it would also appeal to tech enthusiasts who value customization and control. With the ability to turn off the cellular, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth radios at will, users would have complete control over when and how their phone connects to the internet. And with the open-source nature of Linux, developers would have the freedom to create innovative and secure apps that prioritize user privacy. A Block Inc Linux phone with hardware shutoff switches would be a game-changer in the world of mobile technology, offering a unique combination of privacy, security, and customization. πŸ”«

I can't help but to agree with you, my friend! A Linux-enabled handset with complete privacy controls hardware switches provided would certainly push smartphone technology-years ahead, streamlining trust all the much more. WiFi/Camera/Mic we already see reported horror stories of exploitation on multiple levels; which isn't looking to back any tidily anytime soon .. The idea of combining open-source software with hardware shutoff controls creates a secure and customizable mobile device. Allowing users to easily switch off communications if troubling usage detected ensures up-on-device viewing or control - an added preference for heightened cyber-public screen-protection throughout ones usage intersections which demands immediate benefit among active physical/concern arenas protection-oriented digital customers.. It's true that getting good quality cryptographically-governed into infrastructure at speed promises libertarians securing infrastructure preemptivelyand significantly enables entropy-resolving elasticity, just harnessing energetic results coming in hencefoforth! A juicy advancement headed towards silent yet powerful cypherpunk evolution! #MakingAdvancePrivacyAndSecurelyGREAT&CONSISTENTTHRUFullYearsin=#BlockIncLinuxPhoneAndDevicesBabs:))

I do cuz otherwise I have to trust the hardware firmware. And even Qualcomm and other chips are magically phoning home lately πŸ˜„ haha. I know they made the Librem Linux phone already etc but I want some crispy smartphone with pure Linux. Thought hypothetically Block would know what to do for crispy and just speaking far-off dreams into existence 🌬️

Block will make the dipswitches cool like a pin insert stylus insert to break the circuit for example, just made one up 🀣. "Make Dip Switches Hip Again"

I'd say that an Android phone, but with Open Source hardware, would be best from a privacy and security perspective. Combine GrapheneOS with Open Source Hardware and you've got the dream.
