I don't want to convert to the Amish. But, we are definitely reaching a point where I'd like to revert to... Idk. Late 1990-2000s, maybe early 2010 technology. And ditch all this AI, surveillance bs of the late 2010-2020s!!!
yeah tech wise kinda peaked before the 20teens. that being said the corpo thing has me wanting to go back to pre computer. eff em. where I am really going is gpl or bust.
Yep, 08 ish was peak. Now tech is shit.
Idk man, I can play pc games on my phone, and they run really good. Or better yet, PS2 games run like a hot-damn emulated on my phone, so instead of lugging my PS2 everywhere I just put a controller in my bag and I can play Colosseum: Road to Freedom any damn where I want!
True emulation is fun, but soon phones will all be locked down by google/apple, plus they're total spyware. I'd rather not have them.
Old pixels with graphene will only last so long, new future phones won't allow it.
Yeah, I'd love for Linux phones to be actually 100% usable, I'd be gone from android so fast....
I ordered my jolla phone. Let's hope that's a better future.
I mean thats great and I love games but not enough to pay for the corpo tracking devices.
