Great resource. Thank you!
I have not owned a mobile phone for two years but I encountered the following
“inconvinience”:
During my holiday my daughter and I were cycling in the Alps in Italy and
during a descent she fell. Result: Severe bleeding from the abdomen and 6

The Zipit is apparently similar to the Pandora:

*If* you're making a call, the landline might- but that's not the point.
If an individual leaves the house with their cell phone and goes on an
outing, the amount of information they have provided to their local

The Pandora can definitely be run with only free software and offer the
functionality you desire- OnPon4 and JadedCtrl both did (do?) this. The GPU
and wireless card both can't be used, although you can do graphics on the CPU
and use a USB wifi adapter to get around these- the internal

pretty much everything I use my phone for.
Thanks all for all the comments.
I think I have to change the following things in my lifestyle to make it
coherent with principles:
Buy a computer with free booting firmware and fully free operating system.
Get a paid account on posteo.
Ditch the tracker and get a phone number on the

From Wikipedia https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_phone_tracking
Mobile phone tracking is the ascertaining of the position or location of
a mobile phone, whether stationary or moving. Localization may occur either

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.

It may not be convenient but Stallman does it, so it is clearly doable. He
gets around the entire planet on his various speaking trips without a cell
phone.
