You could be right. I looked at several of them on eBay and could only find phones with the e-sim, couldn't find any with sim card tray.

Windmills Off Today (lemmy.today)
 

Didn't know where to post this. Just west and a bit north of Hays Ks is a windfarm. Today All of the wind powered generators were completely stopped. Had never seen that before. Anyone know why? There was plenty of wind.

Some apps require google play, like android auto and maps.
I'm using grapheneos with open street maps, so I don't think there would be any problem with that. There is a work around to load some apps that require google play with out a google account. I'm guessing that is what would be affected.

Grapheneos has a wonderful how to install procedure. I did it with a Linux Debian machine. It took several tries to get the bootloader right, part of that was I didn't know what I was looking for. Once your phone has the red triangle in the bootloader of the phone, the installer should recognize it, and the installer was awesome from there.

I wrote new lyrics for America the Beautiful, trying to make a protest song everyone could join in on. On band camp I have a short with 1 verse, and the whole song, done a capella. A Kansan is what I put as the band's name. Song title is "A Kansans America Protest Song (short)" and "A Kansan's Protest Song" Haven't been able to find either with the search "protest song", any ideas?
