the Jolla phone is the way to go

Are there any downsides to this? There has to be, right.

I mean the downsides are it’s Linux. That’s not without it’s upsides but the downsides are huge.

Would a phone have that many downsides? I would think that a computer would have much more. Maybe the phone companies don’t play nice? I 100% don’t know what the downsides would be.

From my research, the phone part of the “phone” doesn’t work very well. Which is a pretty big caveat.

Well, are you? I can’t remember the last conversation I had over phone.

I’m on the phone all day. Believe it or not some people are different from you 🤯

Goes both ways, I’d be happy if more calls would simply fail midway.

“What a shame, better write an e-mail.”

No one else is suggesting that everyone talks on the phone.

We clearly have different communication partners. Most of the issues of mine are solved by them thinking about it. Writing an e-mail forces them to.

WTF is a “communication partner”?

Anything you email me gets lots in a sea of bullshit imploding in my inbox. Just send me a text if it’s not urgent or doesn’t require discussion or you just don’t like me.

that sounds like a different, bigger issue.

Show threadartyomMar 8
Nope, it’s the same issue. Your calls are not lost in my inbox.
Show threadWhyJiffieMar 8
no. the issue is that your inbox is full of unclassified spam
Show threadartyomMar 8
Weird, my phone isn’t full of unclassified spam.
