Pretty sure most of those people whose smartphone is their only computer would never have had any computer at all otherwise.

Article specifically says the tech does not affect braking

US. $1-2/month for global pay as you go data for as low as $1.15/GB (https://silent.link/ data-only esim). $5/month for my virtual https://jmp.chat/ phone number.

Apple is the safer alternative vs. anything Google

Not really. Research has demonstrated that iOS and Android send very similar types of data even when users explicitly request to opt out. Apple was even so arrogant as to not bother responding to the authors of this paper when they reached out for comment (unlike Google which did reply).

iOS is also much more hostile towards 3rd party apps than Android, greatly limiting what they can do. This makes moving to FOSS options harder.

Due to driver inconsistencies, updates breaking things (even the phone part), and the inability to use a lot of "normal" apps

Sounds like you haven't tried modern GrapheneOS with sandboxed Google Play Services. Neither of these are issues for me and I've been using it for years after switching from iOS.

The are a lot more people who want to degoogle vs. the people who understand how to do rom flashing

Flashing GrapheneOS takes like 2 seconds and requires nothing but a desktop/laptop and a browser. If you can read, you can install GrapheneOS with minimal effort.

The threshold to take away someone's license in the US should be a LOT lower as well.

I always have to look out for shards of broken glass in the bicycle gutter lane because I guess some people think it's fine to just throw glass bottles on the ground

Pretty sure neither mint nor PopOS supports VRR natively, if that is important to you. HDR only works well on Bazzite in gaming mode in my experience. Bazzite is great. I highly recommend it.

Is it weird that I view a finite amount of content as a feature? It satisfies my desire to scroll while being a lot less addicting. Ofc if you have some niche interest you might be screwed. I never used reddit much in the first place and never made an account over there so I might be an outlier.

Do we even know that Plex is better? It's closed source and hasn't been audited afaik
