Jelly20 years ago, normal people avoided technology and techies would jump on the newest gadgets as soon as they could
now, normal people buy smart toasters & coffee mugs while every techie I know is on the verge of retreating to the forest
Cetraria@JellyTBeagle Except in cybersecurity. Luddites like whoa. I have worked with people who still have flip phones. It just took the rest of tech that long to catch up with the paranoid old farts.

All flip phones now on the market are apparently based on Android, but the lack of app store access and the shitty browser interface means I don't *use* it like a smartphone, which is really what matters to me.
I did end up writing a map webapp that works with my phone: https://lab.brainonfire.net/classicmap/

@varx @Cetraria @JellyTBeagle I'm lucky enough to live in a part of the world where 2G still runs, so I can use a phone from the 90s. (I do not, but I revel in the possibility.)
