does anyone onhere have phone recommendations?
I'm looking for something that

runs android 12 or newer
has a reasonably good camera
has a 3.5mm jack
is not horrible to root
has fingerprint unlock and nfc
has a usable default rom (so something close-ish to stock android, no adware and not horribly laggy)
has 64gb or more storage
supports dual physical sim
has decent battery

I don't play games or do anything resource-heavy, mostly just take photos, talk with people and look at fedi, so it doesn't need to be incredibly high end. The one I found so far that fits the requirement is Asus Zenfone 9 but I would rather not pay /that/ much for A Phone

notes:

dual sim is a hard requirement, both also must be physical. I have an old ukrainian sim and a german one and I need both at the same time
please don't suggest phones that have bad stock roms but can be made better with custom roms. that's exactly what I've been using for the last 3 years and I no longer feel like the cost of "taking photos is a pain + notifications randomly break all the time + random crashes" is worth it for me

notes 2:

please do not suggest phones without dual physical sim support. by "hard requirement" I mean "if this phone does not have it, I cannot buy it"
actually just, no pixel phones please. every single person recommends them and they're always missing things from the requirements list

re: fedi meta, i am tired of posting, so please let me post, much bitching but its important 

@filmroellchen see: no spoons for that. if you dont wanna relate to my suffering with the status quo then ignore the post or go fix it yourself

re: fedi meta, i am tired of posting, so please let me post, much bitching but its important 

@filmroellchen also on glitch there's preferences, app settings, the menu button in your profile and they're all different and its overwhelming and unsearchable

re: fedi meta, i am tired of posting, so please let me post, much bitching but its important 

@filmroellchen okay maybe there are a few actionable ones but i dont have the spoons for all of *that* on top of posting. i just wanna post & am amazed its still this hard. its a list for someone who feels like working on this & i have no interest in furthering development of this because it's deeply flawed in many ways

re: fedi meta, i am tired of posting, so please let me post, much bitching but its important 

@filmroellchen (sorry if you didn't mean to write this in a dismissive way i read it like that so i posted back at you like that)

re: fedi meta, i am tired of posting, so please let me post, much bitching but its important 

@filmroellchen most of these things are things i can half-ass change. for example the slow mode accessibility feature does not work right in 2 (slightly subtle) different ways (i doubt upstream even tried it since they added it)
and im allowed to vent and fedi is quite autistic, it's just missing a good culture for this

please try not dismissing everything i had thoroughly expressed with a handwavey "its not that bad..!". its very frustrating.

it is specifically about the buildup of shitiness as i wrote in my continuation post which for me manifests as a conscious annoyance and for untrained NTs is just a little microaggression i assume

@thufie omg theres an emoji picker jdiodfjgdfjg 👁️

@thufie could we maybe have more blobcats with consistentish prefixes? we hab :blobCat_amogus:​ and :blobcat:​ and :blobcatadorablepink:​ (notice names) but no blobcat relaxed or nod or box or made-out-of-cookies blobcat (mmew..)

@joepie91 damn. it looks like the one unaffiliated libp2p-based project i could think of ([MessageHub](github.com/search?q=repo%3Agdl)) is basically just using them as an overlay network too, which is a shame.

i suppose the primary libp2p project then is the big amount of docs about the underlying concepts & it just happens to come with some example code 💜 (probably)

@joepie91 its that bad.? i figured maybe 70% of the ideas are implemented when i read their docs a while ago
