I just made the decision to opt out of devices.

All my computing devices are linux PC's (except one Android phone) - despite the UI churn linux in 2024 is much the same as linux in 2004 underneath and I have a reasonable chance of properly troubleshooting any issues.

With Linux you are always the `user` and not the `consumer`, it's a different paradigm.

Despite been a life long nerd, Gadgets have never been a thing I liked so it was easy to just not buy them.

How can you say that? There wasn't any systemd in 2004. You could read the logs with more/less/vi/whatever, ffs!


Bro you aren’t running Ubuntu on a Pixel 3a?


Phone makes calls, runs firefox and author.

That’s all I require from it so I just left it alone
