I agree with your point of view. I have a music library of about 3000 songs, and it hasn't grown much in recent years. Owning this music gives me a great sense of security, as it will never be taken down on a whim by a platform.

Hi, I'm the developer of Rune. Your idea is very interesting, and designing a phone like this is indeed my dream. However, it feels a bit too far off at the moment. I'm currently trying to build it on a Raspberry Pi. At the very l
