In China, you can’t exist without a smartphone, because for all existential things you have to do (paying bills, buying tickets etc.) , you are forced to use the almighty wechat app. Smartphones are a tool to manipulate and to spy on the population. It is a tool utilized by the ruling class, to control the masses. I hate the future and I hate “progress”.

You might appreciate the work done by purism to give us more control over our devices.

Based off this line I’m pretty sure you’re trolling, Purism barely manages to ship a product in 5 years.

They had issues, but theyve been shipping phones this year and they run Linux.

We dont have to just use ios or android, and I think that’s a great thing!
