Cold? Lol, they should live in russia, the regime they are loyal to. Experience the actual coldness.

Oh yea, it seems like Motorola also doesn’t have it the last time I checked. Samsung still has it. Not sure why, but I’m guessing it has to do with Pixel not having an SD card slot, so Google stopped developing those part of the code and its OEMs to keep those code maintained.

I’m curious, which OEMs/ROMs still have it?

Step 1: Obtain Cat

Step 2: Show the cat your roach infestation

Step 3: ???

Step 4: Profit? MEOW?

(Good for getting rid of mice, doesn’t do much against roaches… 🤷‍♂️ At least the cat is warm to hold when I’m sad)

Hmmm

I skimmed the webpage and seems like some minimalist phone, which cannot adequetely replace many functions of a modern smartphone.

Fairphone works in Europe, but in the US, for example, only Tmobile allows fairphones, the other carriers, while there nothing technological that prevents them fron working, the carriers being being really shit about it. And Tmovile could also become hostile with a flip of a switch. So yea, that’s a huge issue, unless you want a wifi-only device.

I fear in the future, devices will be more strictly locked down because of “terrorism” “scams” “fraud” or “criminial activity” that allows the authorities, worldwide, to control devices even more. Perhaps, computers could also face such lockdowns.

I mean, look at drones. One harmless crash on the US whitehouse lawn triggered a lot of laws restricting them, inclusing the infamous DJI Geo-locking. One terrorisr using encrypted messaging apps to coordinate would allow governments to control our communications even further. All locked bootloaders. Perhaps even locked BIOS/UEFIs. Imagine such a future.

The future looks bleak. It’s not even like 1984, the reality of dystopia is more subtle. People are being stalked by the government, while there are parties are happening all around, that is what dystopia looks like.

China turned QR codes red to restrict people’s movements on the pretenses of Covid. The US trump admin could do the same with QR code IDs to “prove you are a citizen” with checkpoints throughout the country.

Sadly, no linux phones that are actually usable.

overwhelmed and doing nothing instead

I’m in this comment and I don’t like it

don’t travel to the US

Me, already in the US, and its my only country of citizenship:

(Also, I think its kinda speading. AfD support in Germany doubled. RN in France is also kinda gaining support. 😬 Not a good time for freedom in the world)

Do you have any tangible proof that you get marked as suspicious in any system?

Look at recent news of the USA. Shits getting very fascist. I suspect they are doing phone-checkpoints like some other authoritarian countries are already doing.

I mean… look at Signalgate.

These fascists are incompetent.

Really?

I’ve used Samsung and Motorola Android phones, I can set them up offline.

I assume every other OEM is the same.

Apple does this.

Microsoft is now doing this.

I wonder how long until Google start doing it with Android 🤔

This future is so fucking dystopian

It’s fine, I have my own depression spiral that distracts me from the real world problems

You can replicate yourself when you were a kid…

Wait. No.

Too late, gotta wait till tomorrorw

Now you have to spend the next 24 hours in regret 🤣

Just use wired. Wireless is a proof-of-concept technology that is just worse.

Like… image if wifi required you to put your phone directly on top of the router… and it’s much slower… might as well just use the ethernet.

Maybe if wireless charging one day works throughout an entire building, we no longer need to charge anymore.
