Make your 5.4" screen phone with: - a 3.5mm jack - fingerprint sensor on the back and it's an immediate buy for me, (almost, but not really) regardless of price! The Pixel 4 had a 5.6" screen and it feels like the local maxim

There is no call. Anyone can volunteer at any time. Software take up no space and there is no scarcity. Theoretically there could be any number of maintainers and what gets uptake is the de facto upstream. That's what people refer to w
