Me too! And for ~half the price of the phone in TFA[0] you can get a Moto G32/42/52, which can run LineageOS officially since last year. [0] how on earth is 300 USD considered "budget" for a cellphone?

Huh, it's not a common word in English, right? Spanish being my mother tongue, it's not weird for me. What would be a more anglo word with a similar meaning, if any?

Our friend Anna has borrowed me her cbz and cbr copies from her Archive, and MuPDF viewer[0] is great for reading those formats on my Android phone. [0] there is also MuPDF mini, but I like the latter better.
