Even Paul Kocialkowski, Replicant's main developer, explains in his
conferences that the best solution, in terms of freedom, is to not use cell
phones: https://redmine.replicant.us/projects/replicant/wiki/Conferences

Add "sudo " before "apt-get install ca-certificates". Or use a graphical
interface (e.g., the "Synaptic Package Manager" in the "System Settings") if
you prefer.

I think I have to change the following things in my lifestyle to make it

Buy a computer with free booting firmware and fully free operating system.

That's very interesting. I wonder if it works in China, where now it is
mandatory to identify yourself before buying a SIM card.
The thing is that I need to listen to books. That is, use a TTS like eSpeak
to read out loud books to me.
I also need to accelerate the audio to play it faster.

What a mistake. Replicant is the solution, not the problem.

It may not be convenient but Stallman does it, so it is clearly doable. He

As for E-Ink devices, there is a Debian-based free software (with the

As Magic Banana said, Stallman's concern is more to do with the network

either. I suspect it is in a
