@umbrella @bloogoose yes, you are the one being obstinate. I live in INE of those countries you mention where saying "Signal" and "Iron potatoes" sound the same to most of the population, and every business and public institution is basically unreachable unless you're using WhatsApp. I stopped using WhatsApp, those who respect my choice of privacy installed signal, the rest either call me or disappeared from my life. There is no excuse to keep using those platforms, it's that simple.

@sneezycat @where_am_i I like you.

@GolfNovemberUniform @doodle967 for a moment there my eyes saw "Arch" 🤣🤣

@FartsWithAnAccent @ylai @Veraxus yeah. Them and Netgear are 2 companies I used to love and now I wouldn't use their products if they paid me to use them.

@FartsWithAnAccent @ylai @Veraxus Asus has been enshitifying for a couple of years now. I used to get their ROG phones year after year, until they sent me the last one without the Kunai cover (I bought the phone with the controller) and when I reached out to them they wanted me to send the whole thing back, phone and all, to determine if they would send it back with the cover to me. Beyond ridiculous. Returned it, got a refund, never looked back.

@TCB13 @inasaba not entirely accurate. CalyxOS, but albeit following a different process, also allows for degoogling and relocking the bootloader.

@psyc @ylai finally.

@ylai
Yay, F*&k CrapCom!

@rainynight65 @noctisatrae never heard of the Atari Lynx, have you?

@ylai yay! Something to add to the battery load. We all want the, right?
