AFAIK an unlocked phone can hotspot no matter what. My plan does not include mobile hotspot data and yet I use it all the time.

No problem! I’ve honestly been thinking of picking one up just to use as an arranger

Roland Verselab MV1 is oriented towards song writers I believe. Affordable too. Could be your central work station

Its meant to save you a step. Before at whole foods you had to get out your phone, open the amazon app, scan your prime QR code, then get a card and pay. This just does all that with an enrolled palm.

I still don’t trust it. I laughed at it when I saw it and even the clerk admitted it was dumb.

For me, it is about removing an attack vector crazy people might use. We live in a time where people can seek revenge for the pettiest things. In thepastt, I had gotten into an argument on reddit over something harmless and they doxxed me and sent a warning to my house. I deleted everything and overhauled my privacy.

Still a forever ‘no’ for me. Anyone taking over for him tolerates him , and who is to say if he is only symbolically step down and will still run things behind the scenes?

Thankfully we are spoiled for choice on security oriented ROMs these days and nearly everything will run on a Pixel. No need to use a ROM created by someone so toxic they put their projects in jeopardy.

There is a REALLY good recording of their last show if you search on YouTube.

Green day opened for them

Isnt the dude who runs graphene a nutjob?

Any thoughts on /e/OS

This is the way. I’m basically only online at work now. Once I’m home I just smoke a bowl and relax offline. I’ve been making music a bunch lately and going on photo walks. I used to play video games to pass the time but even those are awful now.

Imagine having the wool pulled this far over your eyes. Couldn’t be me

Another vote for tuta here. Very nice service and having my email @ be tuta.io is very satisfying

Haven’t owned one myself, I did start with the original 351 myself. I sold it to a friend eventually and upgraded to an RG353 that I use daily at work.

All you really need is a controller for it (backbone, kishi, gamesir x2) and the retroarch app. Dump your Roms to it and done. Maybe some tweaking in retroarch

There is always the phone + controller grip option. I do that whenever I want to play something later than ps1

Yes!

I try to navigate everywhere with organic map. If I need to look up a business’ coordinates, I use a web container of gmaps I found on f-droid. If I go somewhere and it isn’t in open maps, I add it.

You could actually put Lineage OS with Micro G on your current phone and be living the dream, it is supported.

That definitely makes it harder. When I was first switching I still kept my smartphone, I just had it turned off in my bag. If I ran into something that needed it, I would use it and work out a long term solution later.

Now I split my time between a dumbphone and a de-google smartphone with very restricted apps. I take the smartphone out when I know its gonna be a busy day or I have errands, but for a basic day of going to work and back home, a dumbphone is fine

If you use a a third party processor for payments like privacy.com or PayPal does it still need the app?

I regularly live with a dumbphone. All it can really do is makes calls and text. Its only difficult if you give a shit about social media and chat apps. I don’t so its easy
