I know. You just figure it out. QR code menus aren't worth effectively selling yourself into slavery.

I lived with a pinephone for a few years. Once you switch over you realize smartphones were never actually nice and it was all just a very clever psychological trick. You kind of stop taking that form factor seriously. You can skip the trou

Sure if you truly need the Android HSM Walmart sells $40 tablets that can run that. You can buy one and keep it in your desk drawer just for banking.

A truly open phone is just a pocketable Linux laptop with an LTE modem. These already exist, companies like GPD make them.

The problem was the belief we all had that smartphones would mean phones become computers the way we think of them. In effect fewer people use computers now than used to. They're all online but not empowered the way we had hoped. It&#x

Modem Manager on Linux handles ppp and texting (even MMS if you're willing to build mmsd which isn't easy) with just a USB modem. You don't need a phone at all. All phones have these days is "the app ecosystem" whic

8 year old phones are fine if you run a decent OS on them.

Also not publishing source for drivers should be illegal. There isn't a single legitimate reason not to do that.

Don't use smartphones at all, they're only bad for you and you don't need them. Do anything you can to either get away from them or start moving away from them.

It really depends on how you live your life. My grandfather on my dad's side never drank or smoked, got a ton of exercise, avoided candy etc. he's in his 80s and still lives in a detached house and walks his two very large dogs da

She had been doing crap job going back to Biden. I don't think she was fired for optics.

I suppose you haven't spent much time on one on the past ten years then. I graduated around five years ago and it was everywhere.

What are they going to get out of it? Everywhere you go on most campuses you're hammered with title IX messaging about how interacting with women in anything other than a cold professional way (which rarely results in sex, women don&#x

You're either struggling to read or struggling to reason. I don't know how to help you.

I specifically said things are going to have to be less fair than they are now if we want them to work. So there's no contradiction there and what you wrote is not a counter argument. I also didn't bring race into it but if you&#x

Yes obviously the clothes are a surface level indication of a deeper problem.

Most people say video games were better pre 2010 and we already had smartphones at that point, just not iPhones. So it's not either of those.

If everyone is experiencing it then it is, infact, a societal problem. That's what the whole thread is about.

It turns out egalitarianism is antinatilist. Antinatilist ideologies cannot persist long term so continuing that isn't an option. The two available options are: a) double down, die out, and get replaced by actual misogynists (ie Musl

It's crazy, the rural fundamentalist Christian community I was raised in was more sex positive than almost everyone in secular institutions despite all the "misogyny" and "homophobia."

Nearly all in person interaction is a meaningless waste of time now. The only thing really left is sex and work. You're not supposed to have sex with your coworkers (if you even have a job where you work in person) and everyone is sham

I think what will actually happen is future PMs will be past engineers (or trained the way we train engineers now.)

Right. They're vices and not tools even though they might look like tools.

People who used "delve" before ChatGPT felt like robots anyway so I don't treat them any differently now than I used to.

There are actually just about no services that genuinely need hardware attestation other than some DRMed music/video and zelle. Everything else pretty much works on Linux in a browser or has some substitute that does.

Closed drivers need Android userspace -> Android panics or otherwise refuses to function if it decides it's SE Linux policy is compromised -> you still don't have control over the device. And we're back to "just br

Then they can have flip phones. Those are still made and are great for children and other people who aren't capable of caring for themselves.

They don't come into your own house and tell you what to do though. The police aren't going to arrest you for swimming in your own pool without a lifeguard. That's completely absurd.
