The rich want to enclose themselves in a bubble without average people >:(

Being required such an insane purchase is completely inappropriate… I wonder how old they’re allowed to be, this could only be affordable as old and secondhand.
Which ones, for example?
Security is not everything though, you need to balance it with privacy and independence as well. Which are, indeed, harder on Android.
Well, too bad for them then. Taking a loan does not make a purchase easier, you pay even more anyway. So point still stands, a $450 phone IS an egregious lot, just not absolutely insanely so.
You live in a richer area then. Most people where I live make less than 1k a month.
Most people around me carry budget phones under $200. so no, far from a steal.
I can appreciate the functionality, but cannot really call an application “good” if it eats up more than half a gigabyte of RAM while being something as simple as a messenger.
My biggest issue with Signal is it being so mobile-oriented. Mobile use seems to be encouraged, and even to register you are directly told to go to the mobile app (and if you register in a VM, you’re then stuck using it because it wants you to scan a QR code which is so easy to do in a VM!) No thanks, I don’t trust my mobile - they’re much harder to make private and “yours” than a desktop. Was it that hard to just add a field for entering the verification code in the desktop client? Sure, I did end up using signal-cli, but it is not mentioned anywhere officially. Point is about how the Signal itself tries to push you onto mobile.
remember kids, not your keys, not your coins
And only on mobile.
As someone who has most of her socialization on IRC now… Eww, mIRC is proprietary and for Windows. Maybe it’s just me having learned about IRC only a couple years ago and thus not having a sentimental attachment, but why use it if you have open-source ones like Hexchat, Irssi or Weechat?
That’s cool. But I doubt every place they park on the street or in counts as an official “parking spot”.
Just strap them into a stroller tethered to the back of the EV.
They need data collected by Windows themselves though.
I am mostly weirded out by the position of the zero. In Celsuis, zero is in the point that very visibly impacts the world. In Farenheit? Random winter temperature.
I mean the cell modem specifically. But yea, the touchscreens are also a problem.
I don’t see them getting better either - so at least I, maybe because I am not educated enough, think the solution is also in learning to rip out the privacy invasions rather than waiting for regulation or privacy-conscious models.
Charging at home is only for those who live in houses though. Or at least have some indoor parking spot.
As if their repair policies weren’t as egregious… I still cannot get over the fact that there is software part pairing and their laptops have soldered-on SSDs :/
