That's good!! You're safe then!
Like literally use anything, genuinely I am not jesting or joking here despite this whole place being jesting but for this comment I am serious, use Android, use linux mobile, fucking throw the iPhone away. I will never understand the desire to burn $5000 dollars on a laptop
Well if it has been more than 5 months since you last touched an iPhone you must be clean of the pollutants that come with touching apple ecosystem
It is that or Chinese smartphones, Huawei especially. Apple users are a plague on our species
Dw I live in India, iPhones cost three month's income here even if you're in top 8% of earners
I hate how some people say "it would've been fine if it was renewables" well where would all the heat have gone
Many, mostly after Palestinian genocide was put into fifth gear in 2023. I left like half a decade long friends because nothing matters more now, if I can't fight for liberation, if I can't do industrial sabotage, I can at least say that there are consequences to siding with genocide
Not like I have money for latest consoles but man that hurts still.
And honestly some people, even on the left, are so weird about IP laws like if you can't understand difference between a corporation owning a piece of art in IP laws and artists owning their labour so it doesn't get exploited or alienated from them in form of abstraction in algorithms. Seriously so called Marxists struggle with understanding the fact that data and labour are quite intimate part and by training deadend algorithms with them, they're just alienating people not only from their labour hut themselves, every single becomes an algorithmic slop tailored to addicting you and you feel so detached from everything. This is why I like platforms like fediverse where an algorithm isn't running background to curate my feed.
Literally, open source means something like linux, something that can be studied on the most fundamental level.
I kid you not, my aunty had a perfectly fine smartphone still she shilled out 800 dollars for an iPhone so she can take it to parties, family and social gatherings, and business conferences.
