also, not to get nitpicky (I promise) but hasn't /e/os criticized people for wanting privacy and security and said it's for criminals? which I found very ironic of them given their own operating system
unfortunately every foss maps app I've tried has been subpar. all the ones based on open street maps can't even go to proper addresses, it takes you to the street and you just have to look around for it. at least here in the us. so far magic earth has been better but it still doesn't work with Public transit so I have to have a separate maps app in my private space anyways.
moved from Florida to California. was about to be homeless so I said fuck it. ended up okay, I've had a stable job and an apartment most of the time. it was hard to get to that point though, took a couple months. the loneliness is unbearable though. the people here are superficial as hell and I miss my family. next year it'll be half a decade and I think I'm gonna make my way back home the same way. I hate Florida but isolation is really driving me mental
I agree. I wanted them when I was younger but by the time I was like 22 I was beyond relieved I never went though with it. I did get a face piercing though.
knowledge is power. I've grown to really hate technology, but being knowledgeable about it has helped me to stay safer in the dystopia. buy a phone with an unlockable bootloader and install a custom ROM. code your own apps, I learned java within the span of 3 days to make my own WebView apps of mobile sites instead of making a Google account or using the play store. people who have never been into tech can't do this kind of stuff. you're smart about the digital footprint though, I've been minimizing where I can since 2024 because I saw the writing on the wall even back then.
that's true, things can change at any point. hopefully a workaround is found if it ever gets to that point though. them sandboxing Google play was impressive in itself.
i have one myself, and I can tell you that grapheneos won't be affected by this. the real damage is to people using things like dumb phones or BSD, even windows computers are effectively locked out of the internet.
when I was 16 I knew I didn't want to drive one day. didn't end up saving for a car like all my classmates and friends. now look who's laughing, not them because the car will think they're drunk if they do.
wait like a month and the pixel price will go down to like 600 dollars. that's what I did for my pixel 10.

this is hilarious and I will be trying it when I'm home
usually retail is like this until December-ish. I worked retail back of house for years and it was only 4 hours or so per shift.

yes, you're right. I barely even hang out here anymore since 2025.

RDX is the only way I view reddit now, when I have to.

dang, even with vanadium on graphene i am very uniquely identified. I suppose it can't be helped these days.
this is probably going to become the normal internet again after the inevitable social media age verification laws get passed.
most useless purchase of a domain ever
