last night, my pixel came! I flashed Graphene and I am now running it smoothly!
I am in the process of downloading apps and I have a question: I am interested in at least using discord on this device. It is absolutely one of my most used apps. On PC, I use legchord. Im a big fan. Is there something similar available for mobile? and I have a similar question for Whatsapp, and FB messenger (although those are less important)?
Oh right… The moderate approach. Yeah that works really well…
what works then?
Collective action, but that takes people and people, again, don’t like giving up their conveniences.
i wouldn’t be giving up any convenience at all if people i talk to were elsewhere.
some of them i can bring over, i’d still need whatsapp for everyone else.
That’s convenience…
that’s basic social interaction for being a functional member of society.
i can’t get everyone i ever meet to switch to my app. i need to talk to new people, i need a job and i need to interact with the state.
Does being purposefully obstinate usually work for you, or are you unaware of your obstinace?
am i the one being obstinate here?
social isolation won’t fix the problem. it’s actually bound to make it worse.
@umbrella @bloogoose yes, you are the one being obstinate. I live in INE of those countries you mention where saying “Signal” and “Iron potatoes” sound the same to most of the population, and every business and public institution is basically unreachable unless you’re using WhatsApp. I stopped using WhatsApp, those who respect my choice of privacy installed signal, the rest either call me or disappeared from my life. There is no excuse to keep using those platforms, it’s that simple.
