You should get a Steam Deck, I want one as it seems pretty awesome. It runs Linux and you can sail the seven seas like crazy on there, yk?

Honestly, I haven't played games in a while but in the future, when I feel like gaming again, the Steam Deck will likely be my thing.

Try to use a desktop, try different browsers if needed, if you cannot, you may need to physically go to the bank.

You could create an Odysee channel perhaps, and try to migrate there. Then you're supporting competition.

Honestly I'm just quitting social media. It got to a point where I just go on to learn about things, not to laugh at something stupid or post about how I'm feeling. You don't need 4+ social media accounts at that point.

I have a pixel 6a and it works great. However, I did run GrapheneOS shortly after I got it, so that may be why. I don't use the Stock OS.

So google might be trying to get you to buy the newest phone? I know apple likes to slow down their old phones so people upgrade, maybe Google does the same.

I was looking for something that I'm confident doesn't spy at the hardware level.

I used Thinkpads as an example because after the early 2010 ones, they got those weird i7 (I believe) processors and we don't know much of what they do but some speculate they record keystrokes and phone data home.

What PC can you trust has good hardware in privacy? I don't want to buy a PC and run Linux, trying my best, and the thing spies at the hardware level.

On Android, Squaker still currently works after the latest update. You can view tweets and profiles but not replies. The guy running it is really working overtime for us.

Yk, I'll play devils advocate and say that I see the good in this. People with disabilities will finally be able to do things.

But, governments will definitely love this. And the proprietary technology would definitely be spying on people, no surprise there.

I'm really afraid it could become a mandate to get in the future (gotta learn how to survive in the woods.)

So overall, it has good potential but would definitely be used for harm. I think it's a net negative.
