Other than what I said in the other reply:
I live in the USA so getting one would be problematic but I hear perhaps not entirely impossible for me.
Looks like it has a US release? If you're unsure or getting a European version, double-check it's compatible with American wireless network frequencies &c. Specific operators might also have their own shenanigans.
Do you know how it compares to e.g. Fairphone?
Nope, never tried Fairphone.
Very solid, I think (except water protection, but my previous OnePlus also didn't have good water protection anyway; and I'm careful enough).
I don't tend to use glyphs or the default launcher (and therefore its special widgets that only work there; but the ability to have apps in folders on my main screen while being hidden from the app menu is more important for me than a handful of widgets, so Neo Launcher it is).
A recent OS update added configurable swap (up to 8GB), calling it "RAM booster". I don't use it, but if you want to run a local LLM (or rather a SLM), you could try making use of it? As long as you figure out how to make the model use main RAM and not the swap.
I like the battery life (or maybe it's just because it's the first phone where I started charging at 20% and stopping at 80% semi-consistently).
Termux still works despite the new Android versions becoming more hostile to apps executing binaries they didn't have included already.
One thing I miss from OnePlus is the ability to deny some apps network access entirely. (I think it was removed in later versions of Oxygen OS?)
Also was a OnePlus user - now switched to Nothing Phone (2).
I don't focus on recommendations specifically. My typical process is:
Skip some of these if irrelevant or if you don't care enough. Spend extra time if you care a lot.
It works well enough for every new phone (the market there is changing fast, so you start anew every time), it worked for my first PC I've decided to assemble with 0 prior knowledge, the mechanical keyboard and the vertical mouse, and pretty much every piece of tech I'm buying.
And I'd say it's reasonable to use Reddit without an account even if you disagree with what the platform owners are doing. The data is still valuable for such use cases.
No idea whether this would work, but have you tried moving app data via adb?
There's a recent algorithm using somewhat similar ideas for approximate counting of unique objects in a stream with constant memory:

In my mind, it's more of digital hygiene than victim-blaming. The core issue remains: even seemingly innocent ads ("we sell bananas") are manipulative in their intent, and they introduce interruptions into your flow of thought. That's already abusive.
I just saw a Youtube ad
I'd say you're doing something wrong then already. There's no reason to tolerate any deliberate assault on your mental integrity, e.g. ads. At least when there're solutions as simple as configuring adblockers / using alternative apps. It's harder with ads in your city.
I knew all that except the "darts never break" part and T1 damage (which I also knew once, but the last time I used darts was somewhere pre-1.0 and I forgot the details). But thanks anyway.
Great! I'll try these things with some challenge once I get the update. The trickiest one is to figure out how/when/how often to use darts to make them something better than dead burden when all is fine and an underwhelming response when you're in a pickle. E.g. is it worth upgrading them, or letting them break and buying replacements, or melting other thrown weapons to repair them (as opposed to, well, throwing), or sometimes using them without tips for damage rather than special effects? And sometimes you aren't confident you'll be able to pick a thrown weapon up after using it with the pressure you're facing in some places (especially during ascension, but also in the open areas of demon levels when an eye pops out every now and again).
Oh! I didn't remember anything about cleansing taking care of hunger. Now I can see the food challenge being feasible.
Identifying things via alchemy is a nice trick! (if the game actually identifies them and it's not you writing the result down on paper or something)
I thought most traps could either be used against enemies or triggered by throwing some item. Perhaps aqua blast is somewhat useful against the first phase of Tengu if you can't afford the HP to take a longer walk around the traps? If it works there at all. Otherwise idk. Well, poisoned treasure rooms, but they're few.
Other than death prevention, why would you teleport to a previous shop instead of carrying the things to the next one? I can see the act of going downstairs through the cleared levels taking a toll on HP if there're challenges enabled. If you're out of slots, you can drop things near stairs while you finish the level.
I see!
And it was a stable OS version, not a beta or something? That's the worst kind of bugs. Hopefully manufacturers start formally verifying hardware and firmware as a standard practice in the future.
