Rockin a Pixel 6 here, when it either stops getting updates or breaks (or they require my ID in the OS) my next phone will be a dumb phone that can make calls and text.
I specifically got this phone for the extended support (Graphene/Lineage), which I will look into again, but it looks like the notorious G is gonna make it harder to do. The only things I do on my phone these days is browse lemmy when not at a PC, play a stupid time waster - family guy quest for stuff, and text or call a very select few people, I know the phone numbers of all the people I actually interact with. At this point a smart phone is not overly useful to me. I never use my phone to pay for anything as I have debit/credit/cash in my pocket

AI is getting so intrusive I’m considering a land line.
I’ll go back to physically mailing letters.
I’m only contactable using smoke signals from burning datacenters
Hah, the data centers that’re controlled by AI fire suppression systems will fail because of… The fire. Like a catch 22. So ironic!
LIGHT THE SENTINELS!
