Hey everyone, I was entertaining the thought of going away from owning a smart phone.
I already have a modded ipod classic that I use as my main music player.
I also know how to use a paper map.
I also have the Microsoft authentication app for work (I could just use my phone on wifi mode for this)
The last issue I have is WhatsApp where I communicate with friends and family around the world.
Is there a way to use WhatsApp on a non-smart phone? Or should I just buy a pixel and install a secure rom?
it was a kitchen job at that time and with the shutdown in place i would have had “personal free time”.
i was involved with a computer scene some years earlier than that. neither were videos or emails a use-case at the time, yet you could have playful and educating interactions with the available devices.
Yeah my point is rather that logistics companies, healthcare, all the things we consider essential work, need a lot of office workers as well. Like a lot.
If those people could not have stayed at home, the spread would’ve been much worse.
Not to even mention the long term effects if all “non-essential” businesses with office workers just stayed st home and those businesses would shut down for that while. It would’ve had massive consequences for the global economy.
Imagine the consequences for a generation of kids, essentially missing a few years of education. Even not it had a significant effect.
So yeah I miss a lazy 90’s night as well, just enjoying hanging out outside or if with electronics, still like socially, 4 sweaty dudes hunkered in front of a n64 goldeneye match (no oddjob). Or just fking tossing rocks while sitting on some stairs in the evening sunshine. Into a lake, usually. Ah. Great days.
