Another nail in the coffin, but the author fails to realize that the only viable answer here is to move towards relying on your smartphone as little as possible. You can get a fairphone, or whatever, but will anything in the real world (outside of old fashioned websites) actually talk to the thing?

I agree with this as well. The only things I really need on my "smartphone" are a browser, mail client (offline that does IMAP), organic maps, whatsapp and obviously a phone. I can do everything else some other way without too much inconvenience.

Edit: wow are people really that tied to their technology? You're fucked if anything worse happens geopolitically than is happening today.

author here, the post was mostly about desktop. I don't rely on my phone much but I need it to work as expected when needed.

Thanks for the correction. I latched onto the phone parts, and maybe too hastily.
