Anon OpinNot everyone can afford a smartphone. Stop making it the primary, and sometimes the only, interface for day to day services. It's like when companies move their customer facing information onto Discord. It's shit. Fucking stop it.
Zenobia Żaczek@anon_opin the poor people I know have no laptops, but they all have smartphones. In fact, it is their only personal computer.
Cassandrich@zenia @anon_opin Yeah, garbage Androids are basically free, and it's nearly impossible to get a "non-smart" phone anymore. The same conclusions apply but "can't afford" isn't the reason.

(Matthew)=> 🏳️🌈🇿🇦🎮💻📖@mirabilos @dalias @zenia @anon_opin Yeah but poverty often excludes you from privacy protection, and dumb phones are either old stock or niche products while a mass produced truly bottom of the barrel android can be made for a few dollars and sold for $20 or less. If I had to choose between a dumb phone and a mobicel or whatever, I can bank, scan QR codes, install library and university apps, install an ad blocking browser... It's not a good experience but it does let me interact with society.
@mdstevens0612 @dalias @zenia @anon_opin also, unsecured smartphones are prticipating in DDoS on servers due to backdoored äpps making them part of botnets for AI and other crawlers
