   Am very annoying and smug about my deg**gled android smart phone but you know what I miss most about having a normal phone? Playing Broken Sword 😪

     @MediaActivist Hey sorry I never replied to this I tend to be very flighty with social media. I agree! And that makes a lot of sense: padding it out. One good thing we do in the UK is mini-serieses that feel like serialised films. But I thought it was pretty lazy in its treatment of the subject matter which is fascinating and important. I see this a lot when the subject matter is present day radical politics. Felt the same about the Riot in Orange is the New Black. Suddenly an incredibly sharp show got stupid and silly.

     @jugularmalloy Hey I love that method too! And yes, I'm in hacker mode when I do stuff like that - cue the Rami Malek meme hehe!

     @MediaActivist Oh I don't know that meme but is it from that terrible TV show ?

     @jugularmalloy Mr Robot? Yeah. I thought it started out so well, then ran way too long (it was initially a tad too long to be a feature-length film so had to justify a television run)...and then ended in a really disappointing way.

     @MediaActivist Oh I never heard of that one! I'm on Lineage on a One Plus 5. It's pretty great but my usb c port is now too worn for data transfer so I don't think I can actually upgrade (I think there is an inbuilt means of upgrade but it doesn't work)

     @jugularmalloy Ah that is a pain! Lineage is cool though. I installed /e/OS only because they had an "easy installer" programme available for my phone type haha #lazy.

     @MediaActivist I absolutley loved plugging my phone into my computer and using terminal to install programmes. It's also just a really good way of moving large files without relying on cloud hosting. I'm basically just copy&pasting a following instructions but it makes me feel like a hacker genius.
