LOL, that's like saying any positive article from PBS or CBC is bad given the US & Canada are even bigger oil producers

1:1 calls, sharing is available through their WebRTC implementation. Group calls if they're still using Jitsi are done through Jitsi, which has support for them

Gnome Health and my GNU Health works well. Linux only though

The two most common sources of microplastics that enter your body are from the vessels you eat/drink from, and from particles in the air from things like clothes, carpets, furniture, linens.

How to avoid? Use stainless steel, aluminum, copper, (or other metals), ceramic, or glass storage vessels for things like water (including your Brita) for warming things in the microwave, or for storing food, and reduce buying things in plastic if you plan on keeping them there for awhile (eg glass ketchup bottle). Replace any plastic water pipes in your wall with good ol copper. My main water vessels are all stainless steel.

For particulate, consider air filtration, buy clothes/furniture/carpets made from natural animal/ sources like cotton, wool, bamboo, avoiding plastics like polyester. That includes your scrubbing utensil for dishes. Your carpets are probably made with some sort of plastic, so if it's too much to do hardwood, or replace with a natural fibre, the Dyson vacuums are good at getting out loose microplastics.

Be warned, one time I almost bought a stainless steel cup from a reputable retailer, and upon further investigation it was just plastic with a steel coating.. Yep, made in Communist China..

Sounds like a Librem 5. Am currently typing from one.

Just block the hexbear.net and lemmy.ml instance subs that show up in ALL, and it makes a much more pleasant experience

Default Gnome apps work well, but you'll need to revert to an earlier version of Gnome Todo/Tasks before it became endeavour, as they had subtasks, but unfortunately removed it with the newer version.

I have a Note9 I just did a battery & screen replacement on, a Key2 that had not been used until a year ago (so still has great battery life), and a newish Librem5. Most other phones, e.g. those mid-range Samsung's, or phones without headphone jacks feel like sidegrades rather than upgrades.

They're all 4G though; both Android model variants are unrootable, and of course behind on their security updates. Next phone would need to be 5G, and ideally allow longer security updates, or allow Mobian + Waydroid install. Maybe one of the Asus ones. Honestly wish Fairphone had kept it or brings it back; they're missing out on a big segment of customers that would be a good match.

To afford an out of carrier phone, just dipped down to a cheaper plan that still meets my needs.
