  • You always have a choice. You can ditch your morals entirely, give up, be subservient to the capitalists and give your identity over fully to the system like the good little consumer slave you are and enjoy your normie life looking at your normie phone and toss us all out as tinfoil-hatted weirdos who almost convinced you to make your life worse for the sake of self-sufficiency, independence and privacy.

    No one in the real world will ever know, care, or judge you. Only you will know that you gave up, that every location you exist in is known about by someone behind a monitor being overseen by fascists. Every day! You can live with that, right? That's a small thing to give up in the grand scheme of things, isn't it? At least Youtube loaded today, right? It's all worth it, lol.

    Just remember to type "thanks" in google keyboard whenever you want them to know you appreciate them. They log it.

  • There is an interesting new breed of flip phones that can be tethered to for internet access. I could imagine a flip-phone + laptop setup being perfect for a lot of users here.

  • I'm going to try all of them. I've always wanted to just go to ebay, buy a 6T and try some of these operating systems. It's the target phone for about half of them. What interests me the most is Plasma Mobile on PostmarketOS. It looks slick and not too dissimilar from Android.

    Linux on mobile is very model specific. The 6T isn't even perfectly supported by anything, it's just supported enough to be functional.

    Why the 6T? Just the right mix of hardware that released with the right mix of software to make it ideal. the Pixel 3 also had a lot of Linux compatibility.

  • This sucks for the average person but, well, everything tends to. If you don't look for avenues around literally everything "default", you're being scammed. They don't, so they will be.

    I do, so I'll be carrying a Oneplus 6T and slapping a mobile Linux OS on it for my needs.

    that's not usable!

    For you.

    1. Nothing
    2. They just needed an excuse. You believing it isn't a concern.
  • looks at the CDC

    Suuuuuuuure you will.

  • I hardly believe foss faithful people would ever carry a laptop

    The whole thinkpad obsession in the linux/foss community isn't visible to you?

  • Kinda did beforehand anyway. Their fabs are old and there's not much going on to build new ones or update, so.

    shakes AMD's hand

    You won! 🎉

    Uh oh! Monopoly! I hope AMD isn't swayed by political actors into injecting malware into their chips, again.

  • Forgot the /s?

  • Or we just... ignore them?

    LineageOS and GrapheneOS could just be like "well, go on, then."

    There's a market for everything and the FOSS and maker markets would eat up an open Android phone, even if the only apps you could install were community-created.

  • Dumbphone with tethering

    A mini laptop/cyberdeck

    A modern mp3 player

    A small, modern point and click camera

    hey gramps, where'd you get that gear, 2007?

  • There's already a firm divide between the foss/self sufficiency crowd and modern tech.

    If this is bad enough, you'd see every foss faithful walking around with a laptop, mp3 player and camera like they're in 2009.

  • Superman lobotomizes Doomsday

  • does its own DNS

    The hdmi doesn't work unless the internet is connected?

  • That downvote is more than any of you will ever do, sadly.

    Fix your country.

  • Go for it. If the American public keeps sitting on their ass for public beheadings, then I guess we can consider them all complicit.

  • Get your "I did that!" stickers ready

  • Just doing its job, protecting the rich and oppressing you.

  • They take crypto, wash a few satoshis through lightning and you're as good as anonymous.

    sure, xmr would be better, but 🤷🏻‍♂️

    edit: well shuck my corn!

  • That's a niiiice tip.

    Deleting my account and re-joining under TOR when my lapse comes around. Might as well hide my use entirely.
