    I got my first iPhone in 2009. A 3GS. Since then I’ve had a 4S, 5, 6, XR, and 13 mini.

    Two weeks ago I took delivery of a Google Pixel 9, onto which I immediately put de-Googled GrapheneOS.

    16 years of iPhones, 18 years of Macs. My primary Mac is a 15" M2 Air, which, as soon as Apple drop macOS support for, will be getting Asahi and that’ll be that. Apple are probably the least surprising, but certainly the most disappointing to me.

    I just can’t deal with big corps any more. They’re all shithouse. All of them. Bit by bit I’m learning how to self host a bunch of tools that until now I’ve been paying for.

      I have an m1 air that’s been pretty good to me, although in some obscure cases the x86 emulation fails and I get a segfault but all overlookable for the battery.

      I think im going to pick up a thinkpad or something similar and run mint like a noob pretty soon.

      Ever since ditching reddit and coming here I have degoogled my phone significantly and started using more FOSS and it feels good to be actually doing something other than complaining.

      Im not all the way there, but actually taking action feels so good. Gonna ditch LinkedIn as soon as i get a tech job
