      I decided awhile ago to never get another Samsung phone, at least they keep making it an easy decision to keep.

          Pixels have a fold, and you get GrapheneOS for that. I tried a fold for about a week, just felt really uncomfortable holding that expensive a phone with so very little case options

      I can’t believe the but for the first time in my life I am now just straight up telling normal people to just buy Apple shit instead of Windows or Android devices. For the average person, it will be a better experience and Apple is at least a bit more trustworthy. These morons have destroyed everything that made themselves better than Apple and now there’s no point in buying their shit. I think Linux and FOSS are much better paths but the average person will simply just not be able to handle running Linux as soon as something goes wrong. As for a phone I’m legit considering just downgrading to a dumb phone because I’m sick of all of it and everything sucks on the Internet these days anyway.
