Thanks for the detailed reply
:). Yeah I agree with you on most of it. A dumb phone actually sounds kind of appealing... Especially since it doubles as a fidget toy. Opening and closing it used to be like my favourite stim. I'll seriously consider that.On the Linux thing, I meant more that ITunes doesn't work on my Linux PC, so it's extremely hard to do anything between my phone and PC since I don't use Windows at all anymore. And I really don't want to dual boot it just for that and have it fuck up my grub file and ext4 drives. I tried having multiple file types on one drive once... Never again...
The camera is really high quality but really annoying. Like I can't edit exposure or focus or anything properly. Either it takes a great photo, or it takes a garbage photo, and I kind of just have to accept whatever the phone app decides lol. There's alternative apps but they work really weirdly due to API restrictions.
I'm starting to think my ideal setup is multiple separate devices that does one thing well. Like: dumb phone, dslr camera, kindle (for reading books), desktop for games, laptop for life admin, etc. Decentralise my digital life lol
Oh god also I know upvotes don’t mean anything here but did you post your comment and un-upvote yourself? If I un-upvote you, you go to +0 which is not usual? Idk what even is the world anymore
Yeah, I like things starting at 0 so I remove my own up-vote. I used to do it on Reddit too until they removed the ability to do that, which unironically was one of the straws on the camel's back for leaving there 😂
I dunno why but I like you a lot. You’re fun :3
