Probably the rock in a shoe trick as well if that’s actually a thing.

You may have bought an expensive camera, and spent a good amount of time honing your skills, that doesn’t mean I’m paying you $6000 for 3 days of work.

I’m not entirely upset at this. It seems like any advances in computing and network speed these days are used as an excuse to collect more data and make software more inefficient. Also from a global warming perspective, if you’re into that, it may be time we start looking at things from a sufficiency standpoint rather than efficiency.

Aside from how the phones actually compare, I think it’d be good to show there is a market for a factory graphene phone. I want companies to see the difference (financially) when they start taking privacy and other pro consumer ideas seriously.

I’m fully ready to push back (heck I don’t have a choice, since my devices don’t support this shit), however it’s troublesome that most of the population doesn’t care because pushing back is inconvenient. I think being a corporate & government slave is more inconvenient, but a lot of people can’t connect the dots or see where society is going

You also don’t have to either? Weird thing to be triggered about.
