The tech future we were promised: flying cars, robotic limbs, medicine so advanced that cancer is no more worrying than a common cold
The tech future we got: if you don't use a phone running one of two corporately-controlled OSes then you're functionally banned from using banking services, getting hired, or just existing in society

@sushimcpe you know what would be more freedom? Properly open systems like Linux or *BSD

@Reiddragon @sushimcpe And, of course, the ability to choose not to own a cellphone at all.

@ozzelot @sushimcpe or that, but honestly the main reason to not own a phone today is to get away from how utterly bullshit Android, iOS, and KaiOS phones are (tho maybe that's just me since I quite enjoy being able to listen to music and message my friends while on the go)

@Reiddragon @sushimcpe I listen to music using an MP3 player (currently Sansa Clip Zip), but yeah, the messaging your friends part is where it gets tough.
