Man... #Android
Ok, I have this love/hate relationship with #mobile #hardware. I... mostly ignore my #phone. I have an R8 and a #DAC and I ignore most of my phone calls. Since I've been using #LineageOS with no google apps for so long, I don't really care about banking apps or payment apps. I have plastic cards. Don't we all?
It's for this reason I was so ready to accept #Matrix and #XMPP, considering between them and #kdeconnect, I can continue any discussions on my desktop that I had on my phone, and mostly leave my phone behind, hell, even my steam deck.
So when it comes time that I probably, really, responsibly SHOULD upgrade my phone, I'm such a groaning old boomer about it, because I couldn't possibly care less about what phone I carry and I'm never ready to forcibly spend $300... again, for something I'll immediately hate, because Android hasn't gotten better since 2016 due to enshitty #google.
So, I think... this time, I've decided to just keep ignoring it. I carry a #Oneplus 7 pro, and I have a Oneplus 6 that's solid that I can use as a backup if the #OP7pro dies. Sure, there's the whole issue that maybe my device drivers have a bug that's been exploited by hackers at this point because #Lineage only updates Android, not firmware... but, really, even the companies you buy your phone from are maliciously #spying on you. Why should my care start at random hackers, but stop at everyone everyone else that fingerprints me?
The real use I have of my phone is my mom letting me know if she or the place we rent are in danger while I'm at work, or out and about, or if I get lost or mauled by a bear in the woods because my natural safe-place is a hiking trail. That's about it. Does it take decent photos? Don't care. Screen? Don't care. Performance? Don't care... to a point. Base, utilitarian performance is well and good. I'm not gaming on it.
I'm just so jaded with it all. Maybe I'll go #motorola this round so I can have a Lineage-capable phone that doesn't cost me much to have recent hardware.
>why don't you buy a Pix-
Because it pays #Google and I'm a cheapskate.

Priorities...You might be ready for a #Fairphone with/e/OS...
I'm not 100% sure it'll fit in your requirements but I'd give it a look. 😁

Qualcuno sta iniziando ad accorgersi che questa alla fine risulterà l'unica via da percorrere. Altrimenti, il disastro nazionale.

Un semplice quizzino linguistico-matematico
PRIMUS INTER PARES
Secondo me questa è talmente semplice che non dovrebbe avere difficoltà a trovare la risposta anche chi ha sempre sostenuto di avere difficoltà con la matematica. Comunque la risposta con microspiegazione la trovate sul mio sito https://wok.oblomov.eu/mathesis/primus-inter-pares/

a) yet not maximally local
b) attractors ain't everything. the world also needs repellors

@Piemmegi_B se eravamo sull'orlo del baratro con giorgiaccia abbiamo fatto un bel passo avanti!

Che cosa buffa la cancellazione automatica dei post. L'ho impostata perché gestire la mia microistanza mi ha fatto capire la mole di spazio che occupano le nostre cazzate sui social. La prima reazione: l'ansia di essermi persa qualcosa di fondamentale. È un bell'esercizio di non-attaccamento.
