    Flexing with phones is weird af. People spend 1000 bucks on a phone and do the same shit that a phone for the quarter of the price can do.

    You know it’s funny, I use android and I’ve never seen a single green bubble. Weird, huh?

    I’m always proud to tell people I bought a refurbished flagship phone from 2 years ago at 1/8 the price (without mentioning price) when they see how good my pictures look. I’m currently rocking Google’s spyware known as the Pixel 7 pro.

      Look into grapheneos, it has almost the same features as vanilla google android. The few things it lacks are google auto (i don’t drive), google pay (i don’t wanna pay shit anyway)

    It took me far too long to realise that was a hoop earing and not a circle that the red arrow was pointing to that was meant to be showing me something… 😂😂

    Every commercial I see is companies giving iPhones away for free. It’s now at a point where I had to pay extra to avoid getting an iPhone.

      I envy you! I also had a Samsung Galaxy Note II secondary phone running postmarketOS until fairly recently, but the experience was pretty unusable and I put free and open-source Android (AOSP) back on it approximately 1.5 months ago.

        Yeah, about that… I never said it was exactly stable :) Although that may at least partly be due to me messing with mobile-nixos and not postmarket. So far the sound and mic have been acting a bit, but that’s probably due to misconfiguration on my part.

        On the other hand, waydroid works pretty damn well, so I don’t really see the reason in flashing back android

    Reminds me of a very old post, back when iphone5 was released:

    • I’m getting the new iphone
    • Why? So girls can ignore you in higher quality?
