Its like when I randomly think “I could really do with a corneto”, " I could do with a smoke". “I could do with a shag”. Its an implosive thought and like others it doesn’t serve much beyond enjoyment.

Welcome to the future but honestly, android is liable to break, I’ve been rocking this for a year and had to a factory reset already. Luckily, out of the box it has all I need.

Fuck you Jeff!

My life began at the end of history.

I would call my brother a geek, a collector of shit, expensive cards, moulded plastics, I love him for it but I see it as vapid. Whereas I am a nerd, I research and act with caution when it comes to spending, I own a mechanical watch which I can repair myself, I buy leather shoes with soles that can be replaced at a cobblers, run Linux on my desktop, custom ROM on my phone.

Geeks are nerds who enjoy gimmicky things, nerds are geeks seeking purpose.

My mums funny with it, we met a few weeks ago and said she wanted a new (very expensive) watch and was particular with model and brand, I asked what had got her on to it, she said Facebook has been showing the watch to her for weeks, she later that day spend £3600 for that watch on finance.

I would feel used and like a sucker but she doesn’t make that same connection. Facebook are just showing her what she wants

Like most others here; I don’t see adds on my phone. Now when I use someone else’s, or a ‘smart’ TV or a library computer…

Using Debian as my main laptop distro, I am usually an arch user but figured with it being a light weight laptop I wouldn’t need arch, its been fine but installing updates can be frustrating, after a few weeks gnomes appstore breaks, then I need to use terminal to apt update, apt --fix-broken install.

One thing that is neglected with android vs Linux is the application style. Mainstream Linux distros direct compile from source, this means users can read the source code and report any malicious code which has happened, with incredible speed. We don’t have that with androids APK files, therefore android needs a much more robust security system. There are other reasons too, like google opening its flood gates to banking apps, if Linux is ever even semi successful (I doubt it will out compete apples or google) in mobile os, banking and high security commercial services will be relegated to the browser.
