Yep same. Theyre not tech literate and have no desire to learn. The oligarchy knows this.

Us nerds are a dying breed.

And everyone has guns. The only upside to that…

I agree.on those points.

Oh sxan

Furiosa was amazing. I cannot believe that movie bombed.

It takes such a minimal amount of effort nowadays to set up a barebones pi or laptop with Linux , hook to TV and just watch in web browser or use a graphical frontend like kodi. Theres millions of sources for doing all of this.

Oh well , my coworkers can complain to me about $250 monthly cable bills. I’ll just smile.

This is exactly what I do almost to a T, but I use an Atari VCS (not the original 🙃) and a Logitech wireless KB. Or my phone through KDE connect.

It works just fine, SO likes it. If people would try, but theyre lazier than they have ever been, and dumb. It really was not that long ago that an HTPC was somewhat common.

People only know what big tech feeds them.

Well we are different in that regard. I keep shit a long time ha, so ive probably had my phone 3 years and been in a plane 5 or 6 times . my SO flies a lot more, has many times had to sprint to their gate because it changed last minute.

Plus, we dont own a printer anymore (ink=scam) so thats another hassle to go print a ticket. I’m guessing you can’t even print at home either you probably need to use the airport printer.

Hotel: check in to room immediately without even going to front desk, even if its 3 am.

Airline: instant update of gate changes. When you need to sprint to make your flight because thr gate changed to one a half mile away, this is something you can’t live without. TVs are getting less and less in airports now. Also, literally no one uses a paper ticket and I suspect they’ll be phased out completely in 5 years. Too easy to fake.

There are people alive today who have never once written a check (I do, often), so you can kiss all of our old analog paper ways goodbye in a few years.

My daily argument with my friends!

Youre the person every parent should be. The other people are the idiots for not properly teaching their children, IMO! But those parents probably aren’t tech literate themselves.so its a downward spiral.

Oo someone has to have done it

It does all that , read the faq

While true, won’t 4g be phased out in like 5 years?

Buuutt are you someone who travels and uses airline and banking and hotel apps? Or do you stay home and use arch on a thinkpad ?

Uhh the pinephone in general sucks for daily use . its a tinker phone

True

Wait I looove t9 bro

The issue. You won’t be able to get old phones when theyre gone. Just like cars.

I mean its a small company. We have become too used to subsidized costs at the sake of our privacy. Know why TVs are now $200? They are literal spyware in the home. Try buying one without spyware, $999 real fast for the same TV.

Know why phone companies give you a “free” $1000 phone? Youre the product. Constantly tracked and sold. A digital slave.
