  • On my mobile I use a pixel 4, I tried Graphene OS but my banking failed so back to stock Android

    Here in Australia I just use a physical card for tap and go for payments etc or use cash. No need for Google Pay or bank payments app. Can log in via my bank via a web browser to move cash about or check spending.

    I think you demonstrated the entire point, people prefer invasive convenience over privacy., along with flimsy justification. Not having a go, it’s exactly what most people say when I query them about privacy, “It’s so much eaaier and how I manage” etc etc.

    Then we have your FB messenger thing. Dead lord, stop that. If they don’t want to chat to me on Signal, they’re obviously not my friend.





  • I use a Galaxy Ultra. currently an S22u previously a Note 9.

    I use the stylus everyday. I tired a phone.sans atykus (Pixel Pro) for a month and got rid of it. The sylus is so handy

    I have gone ----> Note 8, Note 9, S22u.

    I draw work sketches all the time eg just this morning my parter sent me a photo of her mother’s toilet and asked me how to fix it. I typed a long set of instructions, she said huh… And can you draw me a sketch, stylus out and I did and she said now she understands and fixed it herself.

    Someone givea me some info, stylus out, tap the screen and start writing eg phone number, address etc. No unlocking necessary. I have used the stylus as a camera remote on the phone but not often.

    The styus makes the phone so useful it still beguiles me how peoplendo without. I use a phone and desktop.








  • No particular order

    And I find it kind of funny I find it kind of sad The dreams in which I’m dying Are the best I’ve ever had Tears for Fears, Mad World

    Despite all my rage, I’m still just a rat in a cage Bullet with butterfly wings - Smashing Pumpkins

    Something more melodramatic

    Well, the rifleman’s stalking the sick and the lame Preacherman seeks the same, who’ll get there first is uncertain Nightsticks and water cannons, tear gas, padlocks Molotov cocktails and rocks behind every curtain False-hearted judges dying in the webs that they spin Only a matter of time 'til the night comes stepping in Bob Dylan - Jokerman

    Superb acoustic cover here by John Cruz , just a dude, guitar and a pair of flip-flops.

    I have many many that resonate.

    On another note, Foster the People .with their “Pumped up Kicks” , what a juxtaposition, that incredible mix of what in the fucking hell lyrics, with a such a boppy tune. HeyYa from Outkast similarly I guess?.
