I was a week away from buying a Pixel Pro 10 for GrapheneOS
I run e/OS/. Block me. I'm good. There is plenty out there that doesn't require Google.

Is the "Gen z stare" a real thing?
I've always interpreted the stare as a consequence of growing up where cameras (phones) are everywhere and nothing ever disappears from the internet. And as a result people who grew up under that are ALWAYS cognizant of this. So they express nothing because it could make for embarrassing video or photos. Being extra or try-hard are also considered bad. Everything is tamped down, socially. They are seriously just repressed, internalized.

My mom tells me if I take medications for depression, I'm gonna end up relying on it even in old age... I mean I guess the alternative is being unmedicated and dying young lmao...
Don't listen to non-medical people about medical things. It is really that simple. Listen to experts or trained people.

Of course they do. How the fuck do you not use AI regularly? It’s not like they give you any choice, even if you hate it.
I have never used AI. I am not a Luddite. It really isn't hard to not use it. So far anyway.

I adore coffee. But how would they know the caffeine levels of the coffee? That's just not available. It's either decaf or not.

Sailfish is an awesome OS. Unfortunately no phones currently support US radio bands. I miss using Sailfish. Ubuntu Touch is a good runner up. Options exist. People are clannish though and don't explore the options. Blackberry 10 OS also was awesome and yet everyone bailed on them. Now we have garbage for choices. I currently run e/OS/ on a Fairphone.

The Smart ForTwo EV was just what you asked for. It did have a cellular modem. But you could just unplug it very easily.

Austin bar for people and pups Yard Bar to close after 11 years
Sucks to lose a unique business. But do all capitalists think they can do no wrong? This thinking by the owner that they did not fail...is divorced from reality.
